-10% Chance Recruiting

Okay. I just got the game last week and I want to recruit Groudon. I thought hurry up and just get in my team and then I thgought I'll Have a look and see what recruiting percentage Groudon is. I saw that Groudon was -10% chance and I thought wait a minute, that was the same chance at what Deoxys is. Then I remembered how hard some guy said it is to get Deoxys. So anyway After 20 tries I gave up. I'm a bit better now but probably I still will have a negetive chance. I'd bring Blaziken lvl 42 and I'm a platnium rank. Do I have a chance?

Also when my Articuno uses Powder Snow, often there are still red dots on the map even if I killed them. I walk on top of the red dot and then it dissapears. Has this ever happend to you? Or is my game stuffed.

well just about what you said about articuno's powder snow, when ever i get up there and the powder snow background appears, like right before articuno does my game freezes. And when jynx uses powder snow my game freezes and when i get to the top of mount freeze my game freezes. Which means if it freezes I cant recruit articuno which means i cant recruit lugia which means i cant recruit deoxys. Damn

You don't have a chance... not yet. First of all you have to beat the first part of the game to be able to get Groudon. Then you should train more. At Lv. 42 you only have a -2.5% chance which still means you can't get him but if you get a Friend Bow (Mt. Faraway 30F) that raises your chances by 10%.

You can get Pokemon at minus percentages. I got Rayquaza on my first time, level 42, with now friend bow.

Of cousre... That was my old luck file... *sobs*

You are obviously recalling that time incorrectly, for it is impossible to get Rayquaza at level 42 without the friend bow. Level 52 is a little more believable though.

52 is still unbelievable. You have to be at least at level 60 to recruit a pokemon that has a -10% rate without using a Friend Bow.

Ok Cool! I'm going to Mt.Faraway right away. Then going to recruit Ho-oh then Groudon. By the way I thought you get the friend ribbon at the place where you get Suicune (I was obviously wrong. Got the Lunnar ribbon there.) Oh well.
