How long would it take to get a Synchronise Abra of every nature?

I know that you can use the ability Synchronize to get the nature you want for each Pokemon with 50%, if I were to get say 25 different ‘abra’ with different nature’s, would it take long to catch each Pokémen with the right nature and is it worth it?

Unless you have a bunch of BP for Ability Capsules, you’ll probably want to have a low-level Pokemon with Fake Out to assist in this hunt. Low enough level that it doesn’t OHKO the Abras, at least. If you’re not SOS chaining, Abra can either have Synchronize or Inner Focus, and the nice thing about Inner Focus is it will immediately tell you “you don’t want this one” by not flinching on your Fake Out and teleporting away. If it does flinch, then you know it’s Synchronize and you can throw a ball. You already used up turn 1 on Fake Out, so Quick Ball isn’t in play, but Nest Ball should give you a 100% catch rate against a partially damaged Abra. If the Abra manages to call for help on turn 1, Teleport will at least fail as long as there are two Pokemon on the field, so what you want to do in that case is use Toxic on the second one so you don’t risk giving the first Abra an opportunity to successfully teleport, then throw a ball the turn after it faints from poison damage.

Beyond that, the quest for “getting every nature” is an instance of something called thecoupon collector’s problem; the existing literature provides methods to estimate how many duplicate natures you’ll have to put up with before achieving your goal.

The thing about Synchronize Abras is that it isn’t like you never get repeats, making it a bit more difficult to calculate then people might think. Here’s my thought process:

1.) So first of all, there’s a 50% chance the Abra you find will have Inner Focus2.) You can get repeats3.) In route 2, on the southern area, the chance of finding an Abra is unknown at the moment (we will solve for it later)

Now that we know all this, let’s take this one step at a time and solve for 1, which is really easy. The answer is 50%, or 1/2. Number 2 isn’t really a problem, so we can just go straight to 3. So in order to find the exact encounter rate of an Abra, we need to find it’s “encounter rate” (50%), which isn’t Abra’s REAL encounter rate, just the chances of finding an Abra if the only Pokemon you could find is an Abra and a Dratini or something. See, percentages are all parts of a whole, so obviously is there’s 6 Pokemon with a 50% encounter rate, something’s wrong. So, we can sort this out comparatively by using these pieces of information:

I put their encounter rates as fractions to make it easier to calculate and decrease my chances of making a mistake. From this we can tell that Abra has 1/5.5 chance of being found. (About 15%)

The amount of time needed (about) is 11,000 hours and 45 minutes

You might as well SR for a shiny groudon in OR/AS than look for this, and Groudon is shiny locked lmao

It really depends on the parent(s) held items, if the mother holds a destiny knot, its guaranteed to have the nature of the parent. You could also buy a bunch of quick balls to catch and pray. I personally just breed 2 Alakazams because Synchronize isn’t that hard to get (correct me if I’m wrong)
