I got a question, how are you supposed to get legendaries like Mew? It is supposedly in double grass in lostlorn forrest BUT that is on top of that hill, so how do I get to it? Also Zapdos I tried for 3 hours to find him , never showed up so if anyone knows how to get them let me know. Only legendary encounter I've had is Jiarachi. Great game nonetheless

Evolution levels haven't been edited, and Rhyperior does not need a stat boost, seriously =P You'd probably have to change its type or something to improve it.

XD3 means you're not using a compatible ROM. It's probably either patched already or from the wrong region or something.

You use Waterfall to get up to the grass there. Zapdos IS there, it's just incredibly rare, as with all the legendaries to make them as close to one time encounters as I can. Just keep looking. You can try using Repels with a Pokémon that's Level 46-49 or so so that only Zapdos can appear, but that won't boost the actual chance of encountering it, it'll just eliminate all the other possibilities from happening.

Hey guys, I don't know if you're having the same problem but I've seen to find it EXTREMELY difficult to encounter Articuno. According to the guide there is a 1% chance of encounter within the tall grass on the hill just north of Icirrus City (pretty much where the location alerts that you've entered Dragon Spiral Tower). I've also noticed that there is a 20% chance of encountering 5 different pokemon other than Articuno within those grasses so I'm wondering could there have been an editing error. Please reply soon I've been searching for days and so frustrated. Thank you.

Well it still would be nice to have evolution levels edited or at least stat boosts for Scraggy, Rufflet, Pawniard, and Vullaby.

Guys for some reason I cannot get the action replay codes to work on the Acekard 2i cheat section. Can anyone light the way for me on what I might be doing wrong. I have entered them continously and still it does not work. Any help would be appreciated,.

I am pretty sure Arti is there; it isn't actually an editing error, I just left it like that in the document to be more 'mysterious'; one of the Pokémon is actually 1% less than stated. However, are you definitely looking in Winter? If you are then it's just tough luck =s

I agree about the evo levels to a degree, but they're one of those things that I really don't like changing for some reason. Still, it'd be reasonable too... I dunno, it's a hard choice tbh.

No idea about the AR codes.

Yeah it is in the winter... :s this is taking so damn long. I'm wondering in your next update if its not too much to ask to slightly increase the chance of these legendary encounters because currently, the chances are just too slim. I've not had trouble with the other legendaries so far; just Articuno...


Well its been hours since and absolutely no Articuno. Do you know where I can edit this to make a slightly higher encounter rate. I'm using an R4DS card btw. Thank you very much

Am I missing out on something as in are there certain events I must complete first before encountering it IE. finish off Gym battle or finish off Dragon Spiral Tower events?

I know it's a stupid question, but are you searching it in dark grass (with double battles) ? This is where Articuno is.
There's no need to do something special as long as you can go to that dark grass. I can't remember the levels of the Pokémon encountered here, but if they're under level 50, you should use a level 49 Pokémon and use some repels.

Yeah I am, There's two sets of grass adjacent to each other but on different plain heights. The double grass is on the top where as the normal grass is on the bottom. Most Pokemon are at least level 50 there. It ranges from 48-54. Still no luck, how long did it take you?

Hey guys it appears that I was searching in the wrong patch of Double Grass. It is now apparent to me that you need to surf east from the bridge that enters into dragon spiral tower to find the 'correct' patch. This additionally means that you need to also beat the 7th Gym before you can access that patch of grass.

Hey Drayano, if I were to use max repel whilst searching for legendary pokemon that can only be encountered via 'shaking' grass, would that prevent me from finding said pokemon assuming that my leader pokemon is at a higher level.

Hey. Signed up to post here. I found out about your game from one of my Youtube subscriptions. Just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work, and I'm enjoying the game so far. I especially like the buff you gave to Pidgeot, he's always been one of my favorites.

Also, Contrary Snivy is awesome, especially with the dumb AI giving you free Growl/Leer/Sand-attack etc boosts xD

Wait so my Pokemon have to be a lower level than 50 to find legendaries?

Please explain this to me, I want a Deoxys and Latios

Nope, the level of leader pokemon whether higher or lower is irrelevant for shaking grass. Repel WILL NOT apply for encounters that are labelled as 'special' such as shaking grass, water holes when surfing or fishing.

So to be more specific to your answer, YES repel will affect your encounter of Latios if your Leader pokemon is 60 or greater and 70 or greater for Deoxys.

Ah, thank you :3 Yeah, AI makes it so easy to abuse Contrary. Shame it's not as effective in competitive play, haha.

Ok so my leader pokemon is Lv 72 and I am looking for Deoxys... if I change my leader to a pokemon below level 70 then I can get Deoxys with repel?

Yup, that's right. It should eliminate all other Pokémon in the area from being encountered... I think, anyway, though I'm not sure if the rules change for doubles grass or not. IIRC the levels of the other things might be as high as 68 though, so you'll probably need a Pokémon that's Level 68 or 69 to get it to work completely. I probably should have put level ranges in the document or something :X

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
