For the rarity of pokemon in hidden grottos, it's just listed as "Rare," "Common," etc. Can we include a numeric value to show the actual ''odds'' of a pokemon in a hidden grotto being a certain pokemon? [[User:Draexzhan|Draexzhan]] ([[User talk:Draexzhan|talk]]) 21:28, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

:The game gets 2 random numbers. rand(4) tells it which table to choose from (four total). Then it does rand(100) to determine what the player will encounter. The [http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12206225/grotto.htm Encounter Table]'s first Pokémon has a 1% chance of being present, if that table was chosen by the first rand(4). So essentially you can divide the encounter percent by 4 to get the chance of that table&slot happening. There's duplicates in the table (to increase the chance of them appearing..) so you can just sum up the %.
:The encounter rates are 1%/4%/15% for Pokemon (net 20%), 1%/4%/10%/25% (net 40%) for a Pokéball item, and 1%/4%/10%/25% (net 40%) for a hidden item.
:So for example, Heracross in B2 has a 1%/4 chance of appearing (0.25%), which is very rare! Smogon has  [http://www.smogon.com/ingame/rng/hidden_grotto_abuse a guide] which goes into a different amount of detail. I'm far too lazy to manually write all of the odds for each location :P [[User:Kaphotics|Kaphotics]] ([[User talk:Kaphotics|talk]]) 00:34, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Is the gender of the pokemon set when it spawns in a grotto? I was trying to get Bagon in the Pinwheel Forest outside grotto, and went to the inside one at first which had a Breloom (50/50 ratio) in it. Tried to get a Breloom♀, but after 20 soft resets it was only coming up ♂, so I just caught it and moved on. After spending an hour at the outside grotto Bagon spawned (50/50 ratio again). Again trying to get Bagon♀, went through about 100 soft resets, every time it was ♂. --[[User:Fenixdown|Fenixdown]] ([[User talk:Fenixdown|talk]]) 18:05, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
