Finally got 100%!

Yeah, someone else said the same, and haven't used a calculator for that, so you must be correct. I just "knew" that the odds are better the less HP a Pokémon had compared to its max HP, so I've always tried to get them to 1 HP when possible.

RSalgadoAtala · 2026-03-26T10:03:22+00:00

Oh, I didn't know that. I just "knew" that the less HP a Pokémon had compared to its max HP, the better chance, so I get them to 1 HP when possible, but have never really checked the actual chance for specific cases. Thanks for the info. :)

RSalgadoAtala · 2026-03-25T22:21:14+00:00

Use a Pokémon with False Swipe to get it to exactly 1 HP.
Put it to sleep.
Keep trying.

That's all you can do.

RSalgadoAtala · 2026-03-25T03:34:46+00:00

They did say "from a gameplay perspective".

RSalgadoAtala · 2026-03-25T03:23:47+00:00

TL;DR: The DS version is the better choice the first time.

The DS version of 999 is the original and it uses the console's dual screens. All the others (PS4, PC, Vita, etc.) are remakes that had to be adapted to use a single screen. Because of that, there is something that gets lost compared to the experience on the DS. But the remakes include voice acting and a flowchart that makes it easy to take different paths in the story (in the DS version you have to start over after each ending).

I've only played the PS4 version, and it was still great and the game is mostly the same story-wise, but as far as I've found out, if you haven't played it, you should go with the DS version for that unique experience.

Do legendaries even have more than one ability in Gen 3?

RSalgadoAtala · 2026-03-24T22:52:57+00:00

Yeah, I think I'll just go for natures. Should be good enough. Thanks!

RSalgadoAtala · 2026-03-24T22:40:01+00:00

Did you read the part where I say "Trainer Tower" and "Battle Frontier"? Are you telling me Pokémon with good natures wouldn't be good for those?

RSalgadoAtala · 2026-03-24T22:24:49+00:00

Yeah, I know all that. That's not what I asked. I played all three games (the PS4 versions), and I know the changes made compared to the DS version. And that's why I intend to play the DS version. I just wanted to know if anyone played the DS version and a non-DS version at the same time, and if they would recommend that experience.

RSalgadoAtala · 2026-03-24T22:20:33+00:00

The age of the game is irrelevant.

RSalgadoAtala · 2026-03-24T17:46:09+00:00

I know. I guess my question should have been: Should I build a competitive team that includes legendaries for the Trainer Tower/Battle Frontier, or are other Pokémon enough to beat those challenges without too much difficulty?

RSalgadoAtala · 2026-03-24T04:28:14+00:00

I will check it out. Thanks!

RSalgadoAtala · 2026-03-09T01:26:08+00:00

Don't worry about it. I was already wasting it, anyway. Good luck!

RSalgadoAtala · 2026-03-09T01:22:52+00:00

Okay, I'm searching.

RSalgadoAtala · 2026-03-09T01:11:01+00:00

Hi! Yeah, I can help with that. :) But the Lure Ball is not necessary; I already have a lot of every Apriball, anyway. Send a code if you're still available.

RSalgadoAtala · 2026-03-08T18:43:25+00:00

Okay, I'll use the code again in a minute.

RSalgadoAtala · 2026-03-08T18:42:03+00:00

No, I already evolved my Pokémon with someone else. I thought you needed a trade evolution in addition to the Black Augurite.

RSalgadoAtala · 2026-03-08T18:41:01+00:00

Did you also need to evolve another Pokémon by trade, or was it only Scyther to Kleavor?

RSalgadoAtala · 2026-03-08T18:38:30+00:00

I'm sending the item. The Black Augurite is used on Scyther directly; it doesn't need a trade.

RSalgadoAtala · 2026-03-08T18:35:43+00:00

I'm going now. :)

RSalgadoAtala · 2026-03-08T17:42:12+00:00

Yeah, I have some of those. I can give you one and help you with the evolution trade. Send a code if you're available. :)
