This guy just randomly appeared and I have 1 great ball. What

Throw the ball

>>28961106
Release him.

>>28961134
I'm emulating and can use save states, but if the chances are ridiculously low I won't bother

Throw the fucking ball
Even a 0.1% chance is still higher than 0

>>28961106
Do it you fucking pussy.

WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU NOT

>>28961106
Kill yourself. Theres no reason to not throw it.

>>28961168
You have a 0.781% chance of capturing it per ball. Thus, you have at least a 50% chance of catching it within 89 balls and at least a 95% chance of catching it within 382 balls.

>great ball
out of all the cool pokeballs available to you, you have a fucking great ball. try again when you have something better to catch it in

>>28961351
>kill yourself
>then throw it

What?

>>28961614
>balltism in gen 2
Son.

>>28961106
>not having something with False Swipe out in front

If it's not a Master Ball, don't bother wasting your resources. You can at least track him now.

>>28961651
on the contrary, johto is the only region where it's worth it to have balltism because it has the best balls

>>28961651
Retard

>>28961106
evolve your eevee you stupid fuck

>>28961670
Most of the balls don't work like they're supposed to.

>>28961744
I'm trying to make it an espeon but it doesn't like me enough

>>28961106
>Aquire Masterball
>Clone Masterball
>Use pokedex and route changing to hunt it down
>Throw masterball

Is really your best solution

>>28961106
Throw it, it's gen2, no one will know that you cheated by not using only pokeballd

>>28961768
Because you dont throw the ball

And none of them are fucking kept up with because it's Gen 2. Save the ball autism for Gen 4.

This is coming through someone who loves ball autism stuff in Gen 6.

>>28961106
He'll show up again the same as always if he flees. Roamers are generated from the initial encounter.

>>28961952
If it's not psudeo-rng then I always see it as this way.

If it was then I'd definitely have a better chance each time I failed, but all I can do is make my chance better by lowering HP or status and then throw balls until I run out or catch it.

In theory it's always could happen where you'd never catch a Pokemon, whereas with psudeo-rng the probability converges upon 100%

>>28961670

Half the apricon balls don't work in gen 2 and the game doesn't save what ball Pokemon are caught in.

Try plugging gen 1/2 games into Stadium 1/2. Everything will be in a Pokeball.

>>28961513
Thats not how chance works, the chance to succeed wont go up with each failure. Every time you make the same 0.781% roll.

>>28963222
No, but the overall probability of having caught it within a certain amount of throws increases. The formula would be (1-0.00781)^n, where n is the number of throws.

You must be a shitty trainer if your Eevee hasn't reached max happuness by level 36

>>28963222
No shit, but with repeated trials the probability of the event having occurred increases. For example, if I flip a coin 10 times, the probability that I get all heads is pretty low. If I flip a coin 100,000 times, the probability that I have had a run of at least 10 heads in a row is pretty high.

>>28964011
What level do you get Eevee? I can't remember if you get one from Bill in Goldenrod in GSC or if you have to get it from Celadon Game Corner.

>>28964204
20, I think

>>28964204
level 20, you get it when you go to Bill's house in Goldenrod

OP apparently skipped the Underground Salon, giving it vitamins, and doesn't have it at the first slot of his party

I caught Latias that way. Try it.

>>28961768
>lv36
it's missed so many moves now, why bother

>>28963222
You're a retard fa m.
