does throwing bait/mud at pokémon in the safari zone have any significance at all? i've actually been wondering about this since way before hgss but i never asked so i guess it applies for all games.

Food increases catch rate and increases chance of the pokemon staying. Mud increases more but the pokemon has a greater flee chance

Bait decreases the catch rate and increases the chance of the Pokemon staying. Mud and rocks do the reverse.

It is like this in every game with a Safari Zone if you didn't already know.

Having a little trouble catching a Bagon/Shelgon in the Safari Zone. I've put down the correct amount of Forest/Rocky objects in the Swamp and 30 Rocky objects in the Wetlands (you only need 21 but I put in the extras for the heck of it), hoping to get either one of them. I've tried changing my 3DS date forward four or so months, and that didn't work, so I've just been switching the clock to 23:59, letting it roll over to 0:00 and then switching it back to 23:59 and doing that over and over. But I've done it a million times and I'm not getting a call from Baoba to let me know there are new pokemon in the area. Please help?

Try waiting 24 hours. If not you probably have to wait 21 days

I recommend Surf. It is stronger than Waterfall

[Hydrohs]

Not on a Feraligatr, it's not.

[iLikeFeraligatr]

Not on a Feraligatr, it's not.

Hydrohs is right, Surf is SpecialAtk and Waterfall is normal Atk
and Feraligatr has more Attack, so waterfall is stronger.
I'm thinking between brick break and earthquake..

Earthquake. It can defeat electric types

[iLikeFeraligatr]

Thanks for quick reply&help!

It just increases the chance, it doesn't guarantee you'll get the nature you want.

Good Morning everyone!

Sorry if I'm posting this on the wrong section. Im new around here.

Im working on a project and I need to know the name of the following Pokémon:
•Pokémon that can be found only once in the game, like Eevee
•If there are any situations in the game where the player is forced to choose only one of the offered Pokémon, like the the starters

Thanks! ^^

[Zoruagible]

You can get the Kanto and Hoenn starters when you beat Red
