How do I get the grass to shake in bw2?

Question

I'm trying to poach some Audinos so I googled this up and all I could find is that to make the shaking grass appear, I just have to walk around. I did this for about ten minutes but nothing happened. Am I missing somewhere here or does this game just hate me?

Are you searching for Rustling Grass in tall grass or normally short grass?

In the regular grass. You know, the ones where wild pokemon pop up

"Rustling grass is a phenomenon that only occurs in tall grass."

Yeah that's the grass I meat. I've been walking beside it for ten minutes and the grass still didn't shake

*mean*

Can you answer your own question with "solved in comments" then ba? I will if you don't <3

---

Terlor I'm going to snipe you before you do that

---

You two do realize that I'm asking if I missed something right?

---

If you walk in tall grass for at least 10 mins and don't get anything, probably RNGeus doesn't favor you, since it's completely random outside of that and you haven't missed anything else

---

You didn't answer the question
"A phenomenon can be randomly triggered whenever the player takes a step in an area"
That's how a Rustling Grass occurs.

---

he asked if he was missing something or doing something wrong but go off i guess

---

Yes it does? How is giving tips not answering the question? TY's answer also listed RNG.

This is why I hate jesus

Answer 1

Hi! I played through Gen 5 like a champ, so here's everything I know, and hopefully you can troubleshoot!

• Pick an area where there's no water or caves. In my experience, you can't have water bubbles/ground bubbles and shaking grass at the same time. If this happens, leave the route and re-enter, or just pick another area altogether
• You can't find shaking grass in double battle/dark grass, unfortunately.
• Sometimes the shaking isn't noticeable. Turn on your audio so you can hear it :D

Other than those two things, I think that's it. Every other grass I've managed to get shaking before. Leave the route to refresh every once in a while just in case. Other than that, just bad RNG.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Just run around the area until you see a Rustling Grass. This might take shorter or longer depending on the RNG.
