-The '''Repel trick''' is one that allows the {{player}} to find the highest-leveled 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.
+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.
 ==How to use==
-To perform the trick, the player simply needs any type of Repel and a Pokémon at a specific [[level]], (which is weaker than or the same as the target wild Pokémon level). The player needs to know the higher possible level for the Pokémon, thus it would be ideal if he or she had a list of the Pokémon in the area.
+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 ''prevents "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 the player has a Pokémon weaker than a particular wild Pokémon, that Pokémon continues to appear whilst the weaker Pokémon will stop appearing.
+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 can be useful for finding a specific Pokémon in an area. 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.

-This trick is also useful for catching [[roaming Pokémon]], as they are almost always a higher level than all other Pokémon that appear in that area. It is 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]], 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.

-||Take for example the desert area of {{rt|111|Hoenn}}. <br>In this case, if the player wants to find the most powerful Pokémon possible (a {{p|Baltoy}} in Ruby or Sapphire and a {{p|Cacnea}} in Emerald) he or she simply has to put a Level 22 Pokémon in the front of the party and use a Repel.
