>goes 20 fucking turns before calling one pokemon

>goes another 10 before summoning another Sandile and immediately swaggering the thing on the turn I attack the original
>can't do anything but watch the new sandile kill itself
SOS exclusive encounters were a fucking mistake. I hate this faggot alligator now.

Holy fucking shit spent a whole hour searching for HA Rockruff and it never appeared. What do I do? Do I have to kill the allies, or kill the original pokemon and let allies call?

theres actually a hidden stat called 'call rate' that effects how likely a mon calls for help and how likely stuff appears.

you want to get truly pissed? go try and SOS chain Turtonator or Sharpedo, and you will be even MORE pissed about how constant the low level SOS was when you find the high level 'I ain't calling shit even with the orb" mons

>>30458816
no the mistakes were making AI mosn swagger each other, and the entire haina desert

>let's make the most common mob in a cave encounter rate perma sandstorm desert Crunch, Swagger, Mud slap embargo, AND put an sos only spawn here, AND make the place one of those mapless repeating dungeons peopel despise.

it isn't the confusion on yourself that's the problem there so much as the AI WILL swagger it's partners, and that the sandiles have Embargo which will prevent using items to stall turns unless you keep switching.

or you just switch the mon out and back in to reset embargo. doesn't change their entire move set is just to make the chaining a pita though.

the only way it could be worse is if ti were like Sharpedo and Turtonator

Should I just cut my losses and catch this instead of a gabite that will most likely kill itself anyway?

if you don't have one yes. otherwise yes.

the desert is a shithole of anti fun, don't even bother trying to do it casually. if you really want that HA gabite from there literally breed mods to specifically negate the bullshit and do nothing else.

also thank whatever pokegod you worship the sandiles call rate isn't Turtonator and Sharpedo's

Also try to stall with a pokemon with Intimidate. According to serebii:

>Upon entering battle, the opponent’s Attack lowers one stage. In a Double Battle, both opponents’ Attack are lowered. Pokémon with the Clear Body, Hyper Cutter, or White Smoke ability are unaffected. In a link battle, if both sides switch on the same turn, and first player sends out a Pokémon with Intimidate, the opponent’s Attack will be lowered before the opponent’s Pokémon switches. Opponents in S.O.S. Battles are more likely to call for help.

I prefer the weather sos rng to the sharpdeo and turtonator retarded low call rate, or let's not forget Old beldums retarded catch rate, now with high call rate for adds.

i've actually had turtonator run out of moves and die before he ever called a single add successfully with orb.

If the pokemon I want doesn't require an eggmove I use umbreons with synchronize, just switch him out to let pyukumuku use gastro acid, if it doesn't have the HA I switch back umbreon and keep trying
