This trick is possible because the Repel's effect is to prevent "weak" wild Pokémon from appearing. In this case, "weak" means a Pokémon at a lower level than the first Pokémon in the [[Party]]. This means that if wild Pokémon of multiple different levels (a range of levels) appears in an area, which is almost always the case, and the Pokémon at the front of the player's Party has a level in between this range, any wild Pokémon with equal or higher levels will continue to appear while any Pokémon with a lower level will stop appearing. | This trick is possible because the Repel's effect is to prevent "weak" wild Pokémon from appearing.

It can also be used with Pokémon luring Methods, such as the use of a [[White Flute]] and the [[Pokémon Music Channel|Pokémon March broadcast]] to increase the probability of finding a Pokémon. | ||
Perhaps the most common and well-known use of this trick is to find [[roaming Pokémon]], as they are almost always on a (significantly) higher level than all other Pokémon that can appear in that area. It can also be also effective in [[Nuzlocke Challenge]]s to attempt to make the first encounter a Pokémon of a certain kind that only appears at a certain level. | Perhaps the most common and well-known use of this trick is to find [[roaming Pokémon]] and [[Ultra Beast]]s, as they are almost always on a (significantly) higher level than all other Pokémon that can appear in that area.

Using the Repel Trick with a Pokémon between level 26 and 50 will repel every wild Pokémon except the level 50 Magikarp and make the Magikarp much easier to encounter. | |||

Since both species have only one [[gender]], Tauros is more likely to appear if the lead is female, and Miltank is more likely to appear if the lead is male. | ||
