:I've so far been able to try an SOS Battle once while it was raining in [[Lush Jungle]]. I ran into a {{p|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. [[User:Adamws|Adamws]] ([[User talk:Adamws|talk]]) 05:58, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
