Can Mareanie Call for Help?
Mareanie, a Water/Poison-type Pokémon, is one of the species that can appear in the wild through SOS battles, but it will never call for help itself. To encounter Mareanie, a Corsola must make an SOS call, which can be triggered by lowering its health to a low level or using an Adrenaline Orb.
Understanding SOS Battles
SOS battles are a type of Pokémon battle where a wild Pokémon calls for help from its allies, turning a normal one-on-one battle into a two-on-one battle. This feature was introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon and has since become a key part of the Pokémon series.
FAQs
1. What Pokémon can call for help in SOS battles?
Pokémon that are not Legendary, Ultra Beasts, or found through Island Scan can call for help, but there are some exceptions, such as Minior and Komala, which will never call for help due to their abilities and concept.
2. How do I trigger an SOS call from a wild Pokémon?
To trigger an SOS call, use an Adrenaline Orb or weaken the Pokémon by lowering its health to a low level, but be careful not to knock it out or inflict a status condition like burn, poison, freeze, sleep, or paralysis.
3. What are the odds of getting a shiny Pokémon in SOS battles?
With chaining, the shiny odds cap out at 1 in 350 without a Shiny Charm and 1 in 273 with a Shiny Charm, but this requires chaining up to 30 Pokémon.
4. How rare is each shiny Pokémon?
On average, there’s a 1 in 500 chance, or 0.2%, for a wild Pokémon to be shiny in Pokémon GO, but the rate can be higher for very rare wild spawns, certain Shadow Pokémon, and certain raid Pokémon.
5. What are the highest shiny odds?
The best possible odds of finding shiny Pokémon are achieved by stacking Sparkling Power, Shiny Charm, and 60 Outbreak defeats, resulting in a 1-in-512 chance.
6. Why won’t my Pokémon call for help?
Pokémon that are burned, poisoned, frozen, asleep, or paralyzed will never call for help, so be careful not to use moves that might inflict a status condition.
7. What Pokémon can’t be SOS?
Legendary Pokémon, Ultra Beasts, and Pokémon found through Island Scan will never call for support, and some Pokémon like Minior and Komala are also exempt due to their abilities and concept.
8. How many times can a Pokémon call SOS?
In regular wild Pokémon battles, a wild Pokémon may call for an ally at the end of a turn, but in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, a wild Pokémon will only call one ally per battle unless an Adrenaline Orb is used.
9. How do I increase the chances of a Pokémon calling for help?
Using an Adrenaline Orb or having a Pokémon with Intimidate, Unnerve, or Pressure abilities active can increase the odds of Pokémon calling for help.
10. Why won’t Pichu call for help?
A Pokémon will not call for help if it is asleep, paralyzed, or not the species that the encounter started with, and some Pokémon like Komala and Minior do not call for help due to their abilities and concept.
11. What does Mareanie turn into?
Mareanie evolves into Toxapex when 50 Mareanie Candy is collected, which can be done during events like Fashion Week by using Pinap Berries to double the catch candy.
12. Does Shiny Charm affect SOS chaining?
The Shiny Charm affects SOS chaining by rerolling two more times, regardless of chain length, resulting in higher shiny odds.
13. What are the rarest shiny Pokémon?
The rarest shiny Pokémon include Unown, Heracross, Pawniard, Shellos, Foongus, Wurmple, Joltik, and Fomantis, which are highly sought after by collectors.
14. What was the first shiny Pokémon?
Shiny Pokémon were introduced in Pokémon Gold and Silver, and the first shiny Pokémon were found in these games.
15. Do all shinies have a 100% catch rate?
Not all shiny Pokémon have a 100% catch rate; only shiny Legendary Pokémon found after completing a Raid have a guaranteed catch rate, while wild shiny Legendary Pokémon have the same high catch rate as their non-shiny counterparts.
