Getting certain badges will boost certain stats in all Pokémon games until Gen 4. That boost increases that stat by 12.5%. It affects the Pokémon you’re using in battle.
Corrected the stat boost. It’s 12.5% not 10% due to the different stat boost bonus.
"in battle"
Yeah basically the Pokémon that’s batting for you right now.
Anything in your party that you are currently using in battle will get the stat boosts during battle. It doesn't affect anything in your PC, anything in your party when not battling, or anything anywhere else. It's like a continuous effect during battle only. It doesn't matter if you caught your pokemon before or after the badge, as long as you are using it in battle, it will get the stat boosts from the badges you have.
It’s kinda like stat changes that are applied from moves like Swords Dance. It’s an effect that only applies to the Pokémon that is currently in battle, regardless of when it was caught.
Yes, there’s still a chance you can catch Pinsir in the Safari Zone in Yellow. It can be found in two areas, in Area 2 where it has a 1% encounter rate and is found at Lv 15 and in Area 3 where it has a 4% encounter rate and is found at Lv 25. The ones at Area 2 have a 10.464% of being caught per ball without any changes to its catch rate and the Area 3 ones have a 10.412% chance of being caught. There’s not much difference with the chances in different areas but Area 3 is much easier to access using Surf and the significantly higher encounter rate means you’ll most likely find more Pinsirs there. Really it’s just pure luck.
just throw balls and hope for some good luck.
It’s as simple as if its Attack or Defense stat is higher. It’ll evolve into Hitmonlee if its Attack his higher, Hitmonchan if its Defense is higher or into Hitmontop if its Attack and Defense are the same.
Gyarados is a great HM slave since it can learn Surf, Whirlpool, Waterfall, and Strength and is easily found at the Lake of Rage (or Magikarp is found all over the place).
I've been playing Pokémon Yellow this week and to end things off I wanted to try the Pikachu's beach minigame. Many sources online (including Serebii) say that you can get 500 points if you do three flips (not in the same direction), but for the life of me I haven't been able to do it after hours of trying, and I didn't find any footage of someone getting the 500 points. Can anyone provide me tangible proof that the 500 points flip actually exists? Or at least tell me how to do it if you manged to, I'm kind of desperate at this point, haha. Thank you and have a nice day!
