Weather and SOS Battles
I'm not sure how we will want to handle this on the page and on the other location pages but, weather does affect the Pokémon that appear in an SOS Battle. Pokémon such as Castform, Goomy, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath, and Politoed only appear if it is raining. Other Pokémon may also appear with the other weather conditions in play.

- I've so far been able to try an SOS Battle once while it was raining in Lush Jungle. I ran into a Trumbeak, used an Adrenaline Orb...and it called 14 Trumbeak before I gave up on it.
- I, for one, have only the least idea what all the conditions of this are. About how common/rare are they when these special allies can be called? (Can only the special Pokemon be called, or can the Pokemon's normal allies still be called?) Does it matter who the original encounter is? (I.e., is there one Pokemon that can call Castform, and another that can call Goomy, and another for Poliwhirl, and another for Poliwrath, and another for Politoed?)

- Okay, I did a small scale test in Malie Garden during the day in Moon. I can, in part, answer your questions.
- 1. Pokémon can summon their normal allies as well as the special Pokémon. They will more commonly summon their normal allies than a special Pokémon (with 10 successful calls from Psyduck in the rain, nine were Psyduck and one was a Poliwhirl).
- 2. All Pokémon in the area can summon any of the special Pokémon, as I was able to encounter at least one Poliwhirl with each specie I tested. My guess is that each special Pokémon has a different chance of being summoned for each area (example: Poliwhirl, Poliwrath (day only), Politoad (night only), and Castform are all obtainable through SOS Battles in the rain in Malie Garden, but on Route 17 under the same circumstances, only Castform can be found). This will need to be tested further for more exact percentage chances.
- While this may not be a larger-scale test, it did at least give some insight. Adamws (talk) 05:58, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
Chaining SOS Battles
There appears to be perks for chaining an SOS Battle. I have gotten a Poliwag with 4 perfect IVs and with its Hidden Ability after chaining about 50 Pokémon. This probably should be researched more for other perks, like increased shiny chance. Adamws (talk) 01:18, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
Adding to Routes
Should we add The Wether and SOS to pay end Rotue to show where they can find the Pokemon?--Jacob Kogan (talk) 02:00, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
Goomy in Lush Jungle
It's true about that, well only gets when it's raining in that place. --HoopsterJohn (talk) 02:03, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
Indeed HoopsterJohn--Jacob Kogan (talk) 02:08, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
- So, why didn't add in the Lust Jungle page? --HoopsterJohn (talk) 02:11, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
