Hidden Grotto Discussion Thread

[Wishing Star]

Has anyone ever come across a DW Poliwhirl yet in this game?

I have, actually, in the Hidden Grotto in the exterior of Pinwheel Forest. (:

I have the worst luck in the Grottos. The only Pokemon I've encountered is Drifloon with Flare Boost, and I don't know if that's even useful...

Considering that a burn would pretty severely hamper Drifblim's tanking ability, I'd say it's mediocre at best. I guess if you want it as a novelty Pokémon, but I wouldn't use it for competitive battles.

What's an imposter Ditto?

My bad, I know what it is now.

I keep getting an adundance of male HG Pokemon, which is not that surpising. Would like some new females though. I do, however, keep finding female Pachrisu in Route 3 for some reason. Three in one week is a little excessive, don't you think? o.O

[Blood Red Absol]

I know in HG you cannot SR for shinies... but can you SR for Gender/Nature or are they preset as well (sorry if this question has already been asked xD)

[Meowth City]

^ You can SR for natures, but not genders.

At least you get cute Pokémon... all I keep getting are Mienfoo on that one Hidden Grotto.. D:

It's amazing how rare 1%s are...I started hunting the Pinwheel Grotto again since I already have Hariyama, Medicham and Bagon, can't wait to see Poliwhirl...

I also keep getting male Hariyama in the Pinwheel Forest exterior one. In fact, it's the only Pokemon I've ever seen in that particular one. Grr, DO NOT WANT!

Funnily enough, I accidentally caught another one as I forgot I already had one. It had the exact same nature too, which was quite amusing.

I don't want to keep seeing that supposed 1% chance Mienfoo on the Route 22 one... :/

I decided to do a little hidden grotto hunting because i was bored, even though my luck is normally rotten. I entered Lostlorn Forest grotto and immediately found adamant male combee. Excited, i moved onto the one near humilau and giant chasm and found lonely amoonguss. Then my luck ran out. Will try again tomorrow though.

[nandamaung]

I've never found any good Pokemon. All I find are Foongus.

[silver_phoenix]

usually when I go into a Grotto I dont find anything. One time I found a Mincinno

[Senatulus]

Honestly, I've found 2 of these in total throughout my entire gameplay. One was around the area where you fight Terrakion, and the other was the first one that Bianca introduces you to around the trailer on the route where the bridge takes you to Driftveil. I don't know my routes by heart, sorry. Anyone know where each and every Hidden Grotto is? So I could hop in there and check it out?

Oh thanks

Found a female Liepard on Route 9's HG but found a male Woobat in Route 6's. Time to get back to hunting.

[supersmew]

I wish they made the Pokémon in Hidden Grottos not have a shiny lock, it would make more sense not to have shiny locks on them.

[sunnygowing]

I can understand why Dragonite are so hard to get, but Gligar?

Been trying to get Gligar for a while now, and I'm happy to bet that I'll keep on trying to get Gligar for ages, what with the odds of 2000/1!
As for female Gligar, no chance! 6666.667/1!

Why? They're basically Entralink Pokemon obtainable within the game, so it makes sense that they can't be shiny.

[Kyurem1515]

found a male metang last night. Took over 50 ultra balls.
Found female breloom today after only 2 days of trying.

[Crimson_Blazer]

Uhm metang are genderless... So far in my white 2 I've only found seviper foongus and medicham. All male.

[vapes123]

Is the Eevee with the dream world ability in the hidden grotto in Abundant Shrine supposed to be there? Because I'm hearing a lot of different things about it.
