Is there any way to force a certain gender to appear in X?

Question

because I cant get males very well. is there anyway to stop females appearing? I am using a good rod. is this related or not?

also a side
question. what happens if you have a clampearl hold a pearl item? is it have any special effects?

Answer 1

No
There is no forcible way of making sure a male will appear, but you can increase the chances of a male appearing!

Cute Charm is the answer! It makes Pokemon of the opposite gender appear in the wild 66.67% of the time regardless of gender ratios, when in the first slot of your party. If I were you, I would catch a Skitty from Route 4: it has Cute Charm, and you are more likely to find it female anyway.

These are all the Pokemon with Cute Charm:

• The Clefable Evolution Line
• The Wigglytuff Evolution Line
• The Delcatty Evolution Line
• The Cincinno Evolution Line
• Lopunny
• Sylveon

As for the second question, no, the pearls have no special effect when give to a Clampearl. It's just still going to be an ordinary pearl.

If you want to find out how clampearl evolves, it's right here:

Clamperl evolves by holding an item whilst trading, so you may be getting that item mixed up with pearls.
