Apparently a Hollow has a 5% chance of regenerating an item/Pokemon every 256 steps. This is from bond697/mat.

5%? Darn, not very likely to regenerate is it. But I suppose it works out alright with the small amount of steps, although it'll probably be annoying ending up taking a lot more steps when it doesn't give you what you want.

[Torosiken]

Just 5%? D: bah...

Just found a Female Moxie Pinsir in Lostlorn Forest Hidden Hollow. Heck yes!

EDIT: I thought Pinsir was exclusive to White 2? So does that mean that in Black 2, Pinsir is only in the Hidden Hollows while Heracross is in the Wild? And Vise-versa for White 2?

Yeah I also found pinsir in my B2 ^^
I guess hidden hollow with pinsir is for B2 and heracross is for W2 since wild pinsir is in W2 and wild heracross in B2

[KyuremCraze]

Hidden Hallows are awesome! In-game Drought Vulpix? yes please!

They're both available in Hidden Hollows in either game. Here's the complete encounter table: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12206225/hollow.htm

I just get female Liepard. **** Yes!!

I should update my sig with HH pokemon.

[SuperPichu]

Hidden Hollows looks awesome, not only do we get rare and awesome Pokemon like Dragonite with their hidden abilities but items like Rare Candy and evolutionary stones too! Awesome, I'm even more pumped for BW2! It seems like this will be where we get some of our non Unova Dex Pokemon besides trading and PokeTransfer.

Appears that list is missing a couple of Pokes.
What's the percentage of each Pokemon actually being there? Like 10% chance of being a Dragonite out of the available Pokemon for that hollow?

What Pokemon? Eevee's not on there because it has a chance of appearing instead of the normal Pokemon/items.

I don't know what the percentage of each Pokemon is though.

But that's the question. We know it can appear in a hidden hollow, but what constitutes Eevee having a chance of appearing "instead of the normal Pokemon/items" rather than it just being a regular Poke that can appear?

And poop, you'd think they'd figure this out already. xD

Can you find Dragonair in the Hidden Hallows?

[Too Funk to Druck]

Can you find Dragonair in the Hidden Hallows?

No you can't. Only Dragonite.

[LightSuicune]

No you can't. Only Dragonite.

Darn! At least Dragonair can be found in the wild!

[gliscor&yanmega]

Or you could just breed Dragonite(Then evolve Dratini), as the ones found in the wild don't have their Hidden Ability, assuming that's what you care about.

What's the chance of the baby pokemon inheriting the Hidden Ability?

[Too Funk to Druck]

What's the chance of the baby pokemon inheriting the Hidden Ability?

It's either 40% or 60% (I can't remember which) provided the mother is the one with the DW ability, and it's not being bred with a Ditto.

[gliscor&yanmega]

What's the chance of the baby pokemon inheriting the Hidden Ability?

From what I read, if a female Pokémon with a Hidden Ability breeds with a male Pokémon in a compatible Egg group, the offspring will have a 60% chance of also having the Hidden Ability; the Ability cannot be passed on if Ditto is a parent.

[kaorusquee]

STILL trying to get an Imposter Ditto. So far the hollow has yielded me a male Sneasel, three items, and a hidden item (one of the mulches).

[Psychic Politoed]

So I believe this would be the list of Hidden Hollow Pokemon (Gen I-IV) not found in the Dream World.

Beedrill
Venonat
Pinsir
Ditto
Heracross
Breloom
Zangoose
Seviper
Combee

2 bees, 2 rivals, 2 500 BST insects.

Serebii says that Eevee appears in Hidden Hollows (Location: Unova)

Anyone know what that means?

Eevee can show up in any Hidden Hollow across Unova

[Torosiken]

hidden hollow dragonite is epic. So, for the dex we don't have to raise dragonair's level to 50 :P

You can catch Dragonairs at level 50 to 70 at Dragonspiral Tower
Dartinis can range from 40 to 70

wasn't that big a deal

Really? Because in BW1 I don't remember the levels being as high as 70? Are you talking about BW2?

[Torosiken]

There was a lv70 Milotic anyway. :/

Dratini's levels don't go up that high, but Dragonair's goes from 35-70, and Dragonite is catchable from level 50-70.
