To perform it, the player needs several bottles of [[Repel]] and a Pokémon at a specific level. This trick works in all [[core series]] games in which Repel is available, with the exception of {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}. | ||

Specifically, the Pokémon's level must be the same as, or possibly lower than, the highest wild Pokémon level in the area. | ||
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]] and [[Ultra Beast]]s, 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.

However, it is impossible to find a Pokémon between levels 26 and 49. 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. Manipless [[speedrun]]s commonly use the Repel trick here to encounter the level 50 Magikarp. | ||

||This example using [[Blush Mountain]] only works in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon]] specifically.<br>On Sundays, Rhyhorn can be encountered in this area by using {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}}. In the western field of grass in Moon, the typical wild Pokémon levels range from 26 to 29, while the wild Rhyhorn is always level 30, meaning a player could use the Repel Trick with a level 30 Pokémon to find Rhyhorn more consistently. This could be done to encounter Rhyhorn multiple times after [[Escape|escaping]] if the player were searching for a Rhyhorn with a specific [[Ability]] or a {{Shiny}} Rhyhorn. This example does not work in Pokémon Sun, as the typical wild Pokémon levels in this area range from 27 to 30 in that game. | |||
