    FYI, the effect of the luxury ball works even if the pokemon inherited the luxury ball through breeding. So, you can get the luxury ball effect while also starting at 120 friendship from hatching. Not as nice as the friend ball effect, but paired with a soothe bell, stat reducing berries and the 100 steps thing, you can get it high very quickly.

  • @danthemaninapan
    @danthemaninapan 3 ปีที่แล้ว +45

    Mathematically, when trying to get a Feebas, fishing each square once is a better strategy than fishing it two or three times.
    The probability of catching a Feebas on your first tile is 4/528 * 1/2. That is, 4/528 chance of being on the correct tile, and 1/2 chance of seeing the Feebas there. This equates to about a 0.3% chance.
    However, if we fish on that tile and see a different pokemon, we have new information about that tile, which means the probability of finding a feebas there updates. Using a formula for conditional probability (i.e. the probability of seeing a Feebas given that you've already seen another Pokemon on that square), the new probability of finding a Feebas on that square turns out to be about 0.19%.
    Because the probability of finding Feebas on that one tile decreases after seeing another Pokemon, the probability of finding Feebas on some other tile must increase, which means investigating a new tile is always better than investigating the same tile again.

      That might lead to a faster time on average, but also leads to a lot more outlier scenarios where it takes twice or three times as long. If you miss 4 coinflips (which is a 1/16, not crazy unlucky) then you end up having finished the whole lake and now you are back to the start with zero information.

    About the Feebas tile change, I’m fairly sure it doesn’t work quite the way he said. I entered the room to start fishing at 11:58pm and finally found it the next day at around 4pm without closing the game. After catching a bunch of feebas to trade my friends (I’m all out of feebas please don’t ask me for any) AND taking a screenshot of my location so I could continue to fish after trading in the same day, I went back to catch more feebas. To my surprise, even though it was still the same day and I went to the same tile, there was no feebas. I’m confident that the feebas tiles are locked upon entry to the room and if the time rolls to the next day, the tiles are only reset when you exit the room. Because I entered the room 2 minutes before the switch, the tiles were already primed to switch as soon as i left, but didn’t actually switch because i stayed in the room. If this is the case, it means you could fish in the same spot for weeks and still get feebas because the tiles don’t change.
    TLDR; Feebas tiles don’t spontaneously switch when the next day rolls over. They switch when the next day rolls over AND you leave the room.

    I’ve mostly moved my BW Dex forward each new Gen.
    It made completing the XY/ORAS Dexes really simple.
    Anytime a new game releases, before I buy it, I try to learn which mons will be in the Regional Dex, so I can mass import the Dex to quickly finish the Dex in one game.
    (I play normally on my primary Switch; and skip the Dex filling on my Switch lite.)
    This helps me figure which Pokémon I still need to grind or Trade, etc.

    re: feebas, i learned that suction cups is bugged to do nothing, but no guard or arena trap will make you land a fish every time. also there's a calculator where if you input your lottery numbers from the jubilife lottery, you can narrow down your feebas tiles

    swarm exclusive pokemon are the worst, great marsh pokemon you get 6 a day and trophy garden you at least know when you will get them, swarm has the most exclusive pokemons of all daily events and you only get 1 a day and is random, it combines the worst aspect of every daily event, because of them my living dex looks very incomplete even when i already got every other pokemon, i will probably be able to fill it with home before they decide to appear
