What are the odd of the Zigzagoon chasing Prof Birch in R/S/E holding an Oran Berry?

Question

Not sure if already asked; I didn't find it in the 60 seconds I looked.

Must be pretty obvious that it just happened to me (on an emulator, but shouldn't change the odds) so I was just curious about the odds of that since I've reset a LOT and it happened only once so far.

Thanks in advance and be sure to link the question if it's been asked prior,

Answer 1

In R/S/E, all wild Zigzagoon have a 5% chance of holding a Oran Berry. The battle with the Zigzagoon chasing Professor Birch is treated like a battle with any other wild Zigzagoon, so the odds remain the same - 5%

TL;DR: The Zigzagoon has a 5% chance to be holding an Oran Berry

Hey, thanks for the answer. Can you provide a source for the Zigzagoon being the same as any other wild one? Does it have the same 1/8192 shiny odds and gender ratio as well?

yes, the zigzagoon is the same as any other wild one. It can be shiny, and has 50/50 gender odds.
