Edit: we did some number crunching. The odds of catching a mew on the server we used to play on was still pretty poor. First off the legendary has to pick you. So 1 in 80 which is fine. But there are 5 legendary it seems that can spawn in the same biome that mew does.
So that gets us to 1 in 400. Or 0.25% . Which is still dreadfully low compared to all the Pokemon games the has been made. Also we assumed that there was a 100% chance of catching the mew and a 100% chance of getting a ditto form the machine and that the player spend all of their time in the right biome. We didn't factor in the legendary spawn fail rate either. (like the terrain being incompatible). Which all lower the odds.
So is there no reason for this? I never knew ditto was so hard to find until I read this. I'm glad I haven't put to much time or money in this mod yet. I would hate to catch a Pokemon with a crazy low spawn rate and have to find it again, and in the other gender to breed it. Instead of catching a Pokemon that has always had a high spawn rate. And seems to be as rare as a legendary now for some reason. So is there a reason for this?
Thank you,
Hope to get a response
That said, if you disagree, there's always the possibility to adjust its spawns using the External Spawn JSONs on your game/server.
We also have to disagree with the idea: making one of the most sought after Pokemon hard to get makes sense. Legendary Pokemon are one thing. In the games you can only even find one, which makes them extremely rare in the games and hard to get. And the Pokemon that have sudolegendary stats are also rare (more rare than ditto). This makes sense. Ditto sees so little competitive play that its listing is"untiered" (in other-words no play). And and every game Ditto can be caught to harts content and more often than not easy to find. In fact in HeartGold and SoulSilver ditto can be found on the same route as the daycare.
Long story short, diamonds are rare and that makes sense. Iron is not rare but iron is very sought after as though not the most powerful its the most useful. And there is a reason iron is not more rare than diamonds, as if that was the case it would be extremely frustrating and unreasonable.
Hey what you are saying is super true. and there are some servers that make the spawn. Its still stupied low but hey I thought i'd tell ya. Its still stupid low like .1 or something but.
hey if you and your group there make a server and change junk like the ditto spawn for the better shot me a invite if you dont mine
