* Larvitar is extremely rare: You'll find it in the Rock Tunnel on Route 11, but it has a very low encounter rate.
* High level: It's found at levels 20-25, making it a challenge to catch even with Poké Balls.
* High catch rate: You'll need to use a combination of Ultra Balls, False Swipe, and stat-lowering moves to increase your chances of catching it.
Here's how to increase your chances of catching Larvitar:
1. Utilize the right Poke Balls: Ultra Balls are your best bet. If you don't have enough, Great Balls will also work.
2. Use False Swipe: This move will reduce Larvitar's HP to 1, increasing your catch rate significantly.
3. Lower Larvitar's stats: Moves like Thunder Wave (paralysis) or Sleep Powder (sleep) will further decrease its catch rate.
4. Level up your Pokemon: Having a higher level Pokemon will make it easier to inflict status conditions and potentially reduce its catch rate.
5. Use Status Conditions: Paralyze, Freeze, or Sleep Larvitar to increase your chances of catching it.
6. Be patient: It might take a lot of attempts. Don't give up!
Tips for finding Larvitar:
* Explore the Rock Tunnel thoroughly: Search every corner and area.
* Use Repel to avoid weaker Pokemon: This will allow you to encounter Larvitar more frequently.
* Use the "Running Shoes" cheat: (If you're using an emulator) this will speed up your exploration.
Catching Larvitar is a real challenge, but with persistence and the right strategy, you can add this powerful Pokemon to your team!
