:Right now, I believe it's not worth it. This very page already mentions that Legendary Pokémon, Ultra Beasts, guardian deities, and Island Scan Pokémon won't call for help. The others you mentioned (plus Butterfree) could be included here as well, maybe. (I don't know whether it would really be useful here, and I tend to believe that it's more useful as "N/A" at individual location pages anyway, which is what we already do.)

:Apart from that, I think something like ''List of Pokémon by call rate'' would ultimately be more useful; you can find the (assumed) rates in the "Breaking a chain" section above. Right now, however, there's more than half of all species with a rate of zero (incl. all the ones not found in Alola), and listing a value of "3" or something isn't really helpful when we can't really make sense out of that (i.e., when we don't know, or don't mention, a call formula).

::I think a list of Pokémon that cannot call for help, but can appear in the wild, would be useful. Worth noting that "Pokémon encountered exclusively through SOS Battles" isn't entirely accurate, since for example Shelgon can call for help; it's only ''most'' SOS call-exclusives. No point listing Pokémon that cannot appear in the wild though. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 02:37, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
