What is the chance of finding one of N's Pokemon?

Question

And make sure to actually look things up before you answer.
http://serebii.net/black2white2/nspokemon.shtml

And I need a for sure answer, not people guessing. That includes people of other sites guessing.

If you are not sure what the question is talking about or if you are not 100% sure your answer is correct, DO NOT ANSWER

Do not answer saying the chance is 1% if your only reference is IGN or Bulbapedia (which got that number from IGN).

Hmmm, I know they aren't interaction, like I thought. I figured that out when I caught his Klink.

---

All I know is that it took me 2 HOURS to find the ones that are in ( Spoiler Alert ) Chargestone Cave! It drove me crazy!

---

how do you know if its N's?

---

it sparkles like its shiny but its not

---

@Draco: Despite the fact that that is bulbapedia, that is not a legitamate source. Anything that says "I believe" can be incorrect, and as such will not be acceptable as an answer.

---

trachy I'm not sure, but how did we get to know about ev's? iv's? movesets? why cant we do what we did to find these things out? I dont know how you find out...but its not like gamefreak are going to just tell us is it?

---

One word: Hackers. That's probably how we'll find the answer to this question.

---

I think the weaker ones are easier to find, as in more common, not just available sooner.

---

@starmarx39: I agree. I found N's Joltik, Ferroseed, and Klink, at an average time of ten to fifteen minutes between each encounter, but then it took me about half an hour and maybe even LONGER to find N's Boldore, so... either I have really bad luck, or that your theory might be correct.
:/

---

If you have a strong guess or theory, comment it, but don't answer. If its wrong, don't post anything.

---

I have a friend whose uncle took us to game freak before to demo black and white 2 maybe I should ask him to take me there again to ask this question

---

It is a random generator the Pokemon can have a 1-5% to appear for example purrloin can have a 3% chance to appear while boldore can have a 1% chance to appear. It is random for every game though so darmanitan could have a 5% chance in your game but 1% in someone else's game.

Source: My friend's uncle took us to gamefreak studios(nintendo america) and I got the privilege to ask a person that works on wild Pokemon this question.

(AND IT WAS AWESOME :D)

---

And I think you meant Random Generator.

---

I'll also add this to Bulbapedia later.

---

you went to GameFreak Studios????
Amazing!!!
I wish I was there!
Awesome friend with an AWESOME Uncle!! :DD
Good for you!

---

Finally, no more guesses. You need to introduce me to this friend's uncle sometime.

It says the only studio is in Japan...

---

LMFAO. HE'S LYING MEHEHEHEH. xD

---

No I'm not :(

---

Then how did you talk to the guy?

---

There is an American game freak place thing not the actual game freak but almost like

---

I was actually in Nintendo america

---

Which had a game freak place

---

I am doubtful.
Until I recieve cconfirmation, this will not recieve best answer.

---

Thats fine

---

Nintendo America does have several buildings round the country, but I've found no records of a Game Freak place.

---

Fail answer:P

---

So technically an answer with 14 votes does not resolve a question? roflolmao!

---

Oh my gosh did you seriously go to Game Freak. That is totally epic i wanna go super badly like all you guys i am a total pokemon fanatic so it'd be an honor to meet one of the people that actually helps make the game!!!!!!!!!!
*Huff-Puff* Wow.  I spoke a lot right there.

---

Spaces ._. use them next time

---

I don't really think he went, because there is no Game Freak offices in Nintendo America buildings..

---

Lol so did he lie to us T-T?

---

Look at the upvotes he got. Even I would've lied for that xD

---

Well maybe he didn't lie? There could be a Game Freak place in America. I'm still searching, but the answer looks legit.

---

'reshown 3 days ago by trachy'
I really don't want this to be permanatly in the unanswered page. A threat to hide it? :/

---

hahaha it IS a legit question..

---

Looks can be decieving. I can answer:

The probability of finding one of N's Pokemon is (p-b^r), where p=number of Pokemon of the same species you have caught, b=8-number of badges you have, and r=the rarity of the Pokemon in that area. This number cannot exceed 40%.

Source: I asked Game Freak.

---

really?? oh no wait u're pulling our legs. still, IS it true?

---

I'm still sure this is a fake answer.

---

trachy that is completely wrong. I had never caught a Klink before, so p would be 0, and I had 8 badges, so b would be 0,  ergo b^r regardless of what r is would also be 0, indicating that my chances of finding N's Klink would be 0. Yet, I found N's Klink. So sorry, but you either didn't ask Game Freak OR someone at Game Freak really didn't know what they were talking about.

---

That equation is wrong; trachy was just quoting it to show how answers can be deceptive in their trustworthiness.

---

I decided to take upon myself to answer the oldest unanswered question on this database! Or comment on it. This is from Bulbapedia, on a page last edited July 15 2021, saying with all confidence, "N's Pokémon have a 1% encounter chance whenever it is possible to encounter one."(I feel like I'm going to be proven stupid.) I'm just taking into account that the last comment on this page was 2013 and the last time this Bulbapedia article was edited was 2021. So I feel this adds to the coverstation(Hopefully.) and that this question has been answered, just no one has mentioned it. I'm not totally for sure so that's why I'm commenting over answering.

Is it safe to say that the answer is 1%? That seems to be the consensus on the internet
