It never took me more than 15 minutes to get the rare fishing mons. I am pretty sure that everybody that claims that it took hour(s) for them are grossly exaggerating or just doing it wrong.

I would be inclined to say the 10% is a typo or something because it took me ages too

Not OP, but Sharpedo is the only rare fish I've ever had a ridiculously hard time getting. Eventually I just traded a castform baby for it on the gts

Sharpedo did take the longest for me, appearing after awhopping 5 encounters.

I never get how people think bubble fishing is hard. You do know you're supposed to leave the area and come back if you didn't get what you wanted after the first try, right?

OP here, finally found it.

>Calls for help.
> Sharpedo showed up.
>Knockout the first one.
>Speed Boost activates.

Worth the wait.

Just get something rare and breed it to send over the GTS. Once you get a Goomy or something from Island Scan you can pretty much name your price on it.

Nigga. I went back and forth for upwards of an hour and no Sharpedo. If I was able to get the other rare fishing encounters easily, don't you think this time was just really bad luck on my part? I know how bubbling spots work.

Only one I had a problem with was the gayfish but that was only because the nearest load screen was a fly, patch of grass, and sharp rocks away. Dhelmise and sharpedo were easy

Fuck fishing and fuck SOS battles.

And the WORST part is that a couple hours later I went to the GTS and traded some random mon from the Poni Plains and got a Speed Boost Carvanha with an egg move on the first fucking try.

Wait, do sharpedo normally attack each other? Anyone else have it happen to them?

I've seen something like that in Battle Tree Doubles once and I think the game's AI treats it like it's a buff to the other pokemon. That Sharpedo probably thought it was helping its bro.

Why people don't just use the GTS is beyond me. Shit, you could probably slum in ANY trade thread on ANY Pokemon related website and get the Pokemon you're looking for within minutes.

Why do people get joy out of these rare encounter rates again?

They don't. No one does.

Except that one autist for whom this is his only joy in life

GameFreak got tired of people complaining the game was easy, so instead of adding actual challenge, they just overclocked the RNG to fuck people. It's really pathetic.

That's why I was curious about it. Some of the sos battles have weird matchups. Sharks eat other sharks, but I wouldn't think sharpedo would attack another sharpedo unless it was considered a buff.

It has to do with the move being classified as a "support move" by the AI. It's the same reason Hau will drop his Z-move on you in doubles if he has Primarina. Sparkling Aria removes burns, and thus is classified as "support", and when the AI realizes it can Z-power that move, it does so. This is why Hau betrays you, he thinks he's helping. It's entirely possible that Swagger is set up the same way.

Or maybe since "swagger" means to show off and be a shit, they're just flexing at each other because they're territorial?
