    Also, if you need money in late game, you could catch a higher level Pokemon and go defeat the weak trainers. You won't level down as fast, so you should be able to get back significantly more money than you've spent for capturing the Pokemon.

      Because since levels go from 2 to 100, there are 98 different values, and so we need at least 7 bits to encode the level (6 is not enough). But with 7 bits, we can write 128 different values, and so technically, there could be 30 levels outside of the range of 2~100. Maybe when these values are out of range, they are transposed to 100 ?

      Always the first thing I do when I play Gen 3. Gotta round out the team with the ziggy bois!

      Funnily enough in emerald the ability was changed so the items depend on level. So he’d only ever get the extremely cheap stuff.

      @@mysticrainbowdragon it would still be useful as he could get nuggets rarely and potions, full heals, and super potions even at lvl 1

      Big Boss Zigzagoons love to loot. Nothing more we can say.

      Considering you need to do battles to actually have a chance for a pickup proc, that kind of makes it not worth it.

    Haven't finished yet but when you mentioned Regis I thought that wouldn't explosion be a really good tactic for them?? They could explode and die, therefore not getting exp, and staying at level 60

      Or just catch 6 Zigzagoons and bike peddle for a while so they pickup random stuff to sell or extra Pokéballs.
