On Encounter Rates In Safari Zone Areas

[zeKieranator]

Now that Pokémon Black and White are officially out, can we use them in our areas?

 

[Squornshellous Beta]

The ASB doesn't have them 'till they're out in english, I assume that holds true here.

 

[surskitty]

Not until there are English names.

 

[Zapi]

...So can we use Gen V pokémon now, even though they're not in the rarities guide thing?

 

[Squornshellous Beta]

You can. I haven't got round to updating it yet, but if you want a rough guide, my Pal Park area should be sufficient.

 

[skyironsword]

My shiny rate is 1/8192, just like in the games. Is that high enough for you!?!? XD

 

[Squornshellous Beta]

Here are some rough encounter rates for the Kalos Pokémon. Feel free to tweak them according to your own area, of course, but try not to turn it completely on its head.

[Stryke]

Can we use Gen VII and Alolan Form Pokemon in our zones now? If so, what would be their suggested rarities?

 

[Squornshellous Beta]

I planned to wait to add them to mine until the sprites are up on the forum, but fair question. Hastily-assembled list follows, again only a rough guideline, just don't go crazy. Alolan forms, I guess, can be handled the same as their non-Alolan forms.

Common

Pikipek, Trumbeak, Yungoos, Grubbin, Charjabug, Cutiefly, Rockruff, Mudbray, Dewpider, Fomantis, Morelull, Bounsweet, Pyukumuku, Minior​

Uncommon

Toucannon, Gumshoos, Vikavolt, Crabrawler, Oricorio, Ribombee, Lycanroc, Wishiwashi (Solo), Mudsdale, Araquanid, Lurantis, Shiinotic, Salandit, Stufful, Steenee, Wimpod, Sandygast, Komala, Turtonator, Togedemaru, Mimikyu, Bruxish, Drampa​

Rare

Rowlet, Dartrix, Litten, Torracat, Popplio, Brionne, Crabominable, Wishiwashi (School), Mareanie, Toxapex, Salazzle, Bewear, Tsareena, Comfey, Oranguru, Passimian, Golisopod, Palossand, Type: Null, Jangmo-o, Hakamo-o​

Very Rare

Decidueye, Incineroar, Primarina, Silvally, Kommo-o​

No

Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu, Tapu Fini, Cosmog, Cosmoem, Solgaleo, Lunala, Nihilego, Buzzwole, Pheromosa, Xurkitree, Celesteela, Kartana, Guzzlord, Necrozma, Magearna, Marshadow​

 

[Stryke]

For convenience's sake, I decided to compile a whole list of the rarities of every single Pokemon. Note that these are more of guidelines and not rules; you could put an Uncommon Pokemon in the Rare category, or vice versa. Same with all the other categories; but please only go one category up or one category down; having, say, a Venusaur as a common Pokemon is not a wise choice. Also, please make your shiny chance at least 1/200; anything more is a bit too plentiful than the norm. Anyway:
