Discussion of Serebii's Pokémon Rumble World Discoveries & General Discussion

[Serebii]

If you need something captured, all you need is something with the Gutsy ability and Endeavor.

The latter move will start hitting for only one HP of damage once the enemy Pokemon's HP is equal to yours, which equates to several hundreds chances at a wobble against boss Pokemon. I haven't failed to capture a single boss Pokemon ever since I picked up a Pokemon with that combo.

False Swipe also works

On the main page, I can't seem to find this title anywhere. I'm not really sure what it means, or if its just translated differently in the english version. Thought I'd post a picture though, see if anyone knows.

Since I've played through the 3 basic lots of times, I would like to correct a few errors:

1. Leafy Expense Area 2: I'm not sure that Bellossom is a possible 2-star Boss
2. Ember Mountains Area 1: 1-star Boss is Simisear
3. Dewdrop Bay Area 3: 1-star Boss is Azumarill

Actually, I think it would be good to update the individual areas with their names. I can remember:
Leafy Expense, Area 2: Royal Garden
Sapphire Sea, Area 2: Blue Tower
Sapphire Sea, Area 3: Sea of Origin
Gold Plateau, Area 1: Purifying Pond

Yeah I'm working on them

 

[Keovix]

I've been playing this game since it's launch and I'm so hooked, very enjoyable and quite addicting, so far I've managed to reach Rank 31 but no Legendary so far, will try to use the wobble strategy, cheers.

Leafy Expanse:

Area 1- Shrub Forest
Area 2- Royal Garden
Area 3- Lookout Tree

Dewdrop Bay

Area 1- Quiet Inlet
Area 2- Castle Farm
Area 3- Castle Moat

Ember Mountains:

Area 1- Shrine of Magic
Area 2- Furnace Mountain
Area 3- Fireweed Field

Ruby Volcano

Area 1- Dusty Desert
Area 2- Lake of Tranquility
Area 3- Giant Redwood
Area 4- Smoldering Caldera

Sapphire Sea

Area 1- Booming Grotto
Area 2- Blue Tower
Area 3- Sea of Origin
Area 4- Sunlit Forest

Gold Plateau

Area 1- Purifying Pond
Area 2- Tricky Factory
Area 3- Revival Mountain
Area 4- Verdant Grove

That's all I've found so far.

Also, the area listings tend to divide each area into a "Entrance", "Center", and "Back" sections which apparently have different Pokemon distributions (I think it's based on stars, but I'm not sure), it would be a good idea to make this distinction.

Do false swipe and endeavour really have continuing chances at wobble? I've used false swipe with wobble tree lv 5 a good few hundred if not thousand times on my main pokemon, but I've wailed on specific pokemon for a good 5-10 minutes without any success. Do you have to hit them when they are charging up an attack, after an attack or just keep hitting (I realize bosses can't be wobbled except during the "puffing" phase).

I would have expected the wobble chance to decrease with each hit until it is 0? Seems too exploitable otherwise.

 

[Rakurai]

I'm pretty sure False Swipe can't cause a wobble once the Pokemon reaches 1 HP, as it stops causing damage at the point.

Endeavor, on the other hand, has always done the trick for me against bosses. I did run into a single normal Pokemon who absolutely refused to wobble no matter how much I smacked it around, though. Not sure why that happened, but if it doesn't wobble within 100 hits, then it's probably never going to.

 

[Urberville]

I too have been trying to catch some Pokes using false swipe and it won't work. Several hundreds of hits later and no wobble on any of them. I have more luck using my gutsy pokemon but unfortunately they sometimes faint them. Will try using endeavor. Thanks for the tip! : )

Thanks for the update, I figured it just hadn't been found yet. Game seemed to give no info on it, and I got it on a low level kecleon so actually using it to see what it was would have been so miserable. Love the information on stuff the game isn't clear on

I believe it was either confirmed or at least rumored that if you hit a pokemon from behind (possibly from the side too) you have a better chance of a critical/wobble in Rumble Blast at least. If a pokemon doesn't flinch when you hit it due to the move it is using, it can't wobble either. I would assume the same here.

I did notice that if the pokemon gets wobbly once and you don't catch it, it will never wobble again here. Either that or I had terrible luck. But it makes sense if so. In Rumble Blast you could Heal Pulse with Audino and smack it for hours with Endeavor until you caught it if you pleased.

I also feel that the time they wobble depends on the damage you do to cause it. I had a few wobbles that lasted very shortly and wasn't able to catch them due to that. At this rate, its best to have the Endeavor pokemon to have a finishing move in the other slot. Switching also seems too slow to be able to get it unlike in Rumble Blast.

Anyway, still in a PokeDiamond drought here. They should've put in a P to PokeDiamond exchange even if at ridiculous rates.

 

[Bolt the Cat]

Okay, I'm reasonably certain that "Entrance", "Center", and "Back" just refer to the star ranking (Entrance is 0 stars, Center is 1 star, and Back is 2 stars). IIRC, there's also "Special", which is 3 stars (but I think that's just for legendaries). I've been recording the area rosters and I haven't seen any of them deviate from that pattern. Not sure why they did that, it's really redundant and confusing.

 

[SkyBlue]

managed to catch registeel(only has ancient power unfortunately) and yveltal!

yveltal has oblivion wing and facade, and a power of 1,029. all my others are still in the 800s xD
so far I'm enjoying rumble a lot more than shuffle, I can play it longer, and not catching a pokemon isn't as disappointing.

 

[Rocxidi]

ive been having success with the move Fling. I think the fact that its a relatively weak move allows you to get critical hits more often.

how does making a pokemon wobbly work?

 

[Rakurai]

It's a fixed chance that can be increased by using certain attack moves, having Focus Energy active, having the Gutsy trait, and/or having the Wobbly Tree planted.

Moves like Fling that hit rapidly will make things wobble faster simply because more hits = more chances at a wobble.

 

[Rocxidi]

ah, makes sense.

any details about move tutors? havent gotten there but id like to know more

 

[Silversea]

How does heal pulse + endeavour work? Ok you can make it wobbly, but how do you then take it out in the time remaining?

I've managed to make a few legendaries wobbly but can never take them out in time so that is sort of annoying. This game feels very random, even with the roulette timing. Sometimes it selects a stage on the complete opposite side of when I pressed the button.

Heal Pulse refills the HP of the target pokemon, so you could refill its HP if it's about to faint. You could pair this with False Swipe even. You'll want Heal Pulse on something other than the pokemon doing Endeavor to wobble something of course.

What I've been doing is getting them down to low HP (Like down to the middle of their name on the HP bar or slightly lower), clear out the minions (Yes, they do stop spawning after awhile), then bring in the Endeavor pokemon and hit it when it can flinch until it wobbles. My current pokemon for that is a Corphish with Endeavor and Double Hit if that helps.

Reshiram still sucks for this though because its Blue Flare (I think that's the move) homes onto you, hits 5 times and can basically OHKO anything that doesn't resist it.

I just got the Move Tutor unlocked with the Rank 26? mission. It's called "Catch the Garden Intruder" if that helps for anyone else wondering.

(Boss pokemon seem to be able to wobbled more than once. I haven't been able to multi-wobble a regular pokemon yet oddly enough. It's probably possible if boss pokemon are able to be wobbled more than once so scratch what I said before.)

 

[Silversea]

Ah I see. I've never been able to do a quick switch like that while a boss is wobbled, the minions get in the way if I ever tried (though they do stop spawning once you've killed about 50 of them).

 

[monkeyman192]

I must have had super good luck catching latias... Had only cleared a few other stages in that area, and then randomly got 3 star stage with latias. Roulette didn't stop on it the first time, but I waited an hour and managed to stop on it that time. Then I caught it first time.

 

[bobandbill]

Gave it a go. Didn't mind other rumble games before, and this seems fun too. The king is a bit lame though, but oh well, he's not important to the actual gameplay. On the flip side my character's 'angry' face is hilarious to me.

I don't mind waiting for things, I have other games to occupy myself in the meantime. Don't plan to pay anything if I don't have to do so.
