I'm sorry, I really dont get that, isnt anything below 1% just zero? why would it have to be -19% or something? I kind of get it a little bit, like if the percents were to change with different factors... --[[User:Hey1031|Hey1031]] 20:02, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

::The factors are the lead Pokémon's level and the Friend Bow.  When the level is highest and a Friend Bow is used, these factors can add 34% to the recruitment rate (24% from the levels, 10% from the Friend Bow).  For example, a level 100 Pokémon in the lead with no Friend Bow would have a 5% chance of successfully recruiting that Metang (-19 + 24 = 5); this shoots up to 15% with a Friend Bow assuming the same level 100 (-19 + 34 = 15).
::The game actually takes advantage of the usage of negative recruitment rates by making {{p|Kecleon}} an absolute ***** to recruit.  Kecleon's recruitment rate is the lowest possible to allow successful recruitment, -33.9%.  Anything lower and it's outright unrecruitable.  To successfully recruit a Kecleon, you'll need to have all factors that raise recruitment in place (level 91 or higher plus the Friend Bow to add the whole 34%).  Even then, the final recruitment rate for Kecleon is just 0.1% (-33.9 + 34 = 0.1)--basically a one in a thousand shot.  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 20:10, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
