The '''Repel trick''' | The '''Repel trick''' allows a {{player}} to find the highest-leveled [[wild Pokémon]] in an area. To perform it, the player needs several [[Repel]]s and a Pokémon at a specific level. This trick works in all [[generation]]s. | ||

To perform the trick, the player simply needs any type of Repel and a Pokémon at a specific [[level]], | To perform the trick, the player simply needs any type of Repel (preferably multiple) and a Pokémon at a specific [[level]] at the front of the [[Party]]. Specifically, the Pokémon's level must be the same as (or possibly less than) the highest wild Pokémon level in the area. | ||
This trick is possible because the Repel ' | 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. | ||

It can also be used with Pokémon | This trick can be useful for finding a specific Pokémon in an area, or for Pokémon of a higher level than the natural inhabitants such as [[Roaming Pokémon]] or [[Ultra Beasts]]. 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 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. | |||

If the player wanted to only encounter Miltank, a player could instead use a male, level 27 Pokémon with {{a|Cute Charm}}. Since Tauros cannot be female, Miltank are more likely to appear. | |||
