ok, why the fuck is politoad so hard to catch in the wild? He's gotta be hands down the most difficult pokemon to catch ever.
1. He's rare as fuck
2. he only appears when its raining,
3. and the damn thing has parish song!
I spend 3 hours trying to get one of these SoB's and when I finally get it the first thing it does is parish song. I try to throw a ball but it keeps calling poliwag reinforcements....and we all die.
You have to have rain on to catch goomy and castform, but at least there are areas with "permanent rain" so you don't have to worry about it in battle (outside of Po Town). With politoad you have to fight tooth and nail hoping for a rain dance
Soundproof doesn't work. It only prevents parish song from effecting your pokemon but the politoad will still die. The only incentive to catch this thing is to complete the pokedex. Its not a particularly good pokemon nor does it hold a rare of valuable item.
you can try taunting this pokemon, unless its on its first turn
You have to play through the battle with a Taunt user until it appears, it's the only reasonable way. Lapras has a similar problem since that thing has a 5% appearance rate while surfing and has Perish Song as well.

Taunt+Paralyse+False Swipe. Or get friends
>something used Taunt
>something used Throat Chop
wow so hard
Or you could just fucking evolve a Poliwhirl
It took me forever I found him twice and he killed himself. Was so much easier battling the royale for the BP
>>30869957
You are supose to evolve it from poliwhirl, catch politoed in the wild is for autistics
>>30869957
Evolve a poliwhirl god damnit
>>30869957
You could say it is a rarepepe
>>30869957
just make a poliwhirl and request a tradeback at wifi general

Y U faggots even bother? Just GTS something wanted for that thing,
BTW, I have a politoed that I could trade away for something good. It's stats are complete garbage but the point is for that dex entry, right?

One does not simply catch Poke Pepe.
