Fun fact: Ride Pokemon reduce the encounter rate

>>30520464
I suppose it's to compensate for the increase in movement speed.

>>30520464
Makes sense, it feels like I run into less pokemon.

>Only surfing options reduce the encounter rate for surfing
Why didn't they just make them lower by default?

they should've made it so machamp increases the encounter rate

>>30520502
I honestly thought they removed surfing encounters before I got Sharpedo because I got literally no encounters until then

>>30520464
And yet the encounter rate in caves is still too high.

Wait what, the only surfing options reduce the surfing encounter rate?

I mean I thought it was weird that you hardly ever get any battles while surfing but I thought that was just how it was this game.

>>30520464
When are they going to remove repels from stores and make an item that turns encounters on/off?

>>30520548
If I was a wild Pokemon I'd have second thoughts about attacking a motherfucking Machamp

No Guard has an out-of-battle effect though

>Outside of battle, if a Pokémon with No Guard is leading the party, the wild Pokémon encounter rate increases by 50%.

So it would make sense

>>30520464
The bike has done this since Gen 3. Ride Pokémon replace the bike so it makes sense that they also would reduce the rate.

>>30520604
Probably Gen 8. Then Gen 9 will make you able to auto-win against trainer battles

The encounter rate in the grass, even while on the back of Tauros, is fucking ridiculous. 50% reduction, my ass.
