What are the chances of getting a Mareanie?

This question is split up into multiple parts and in sos chain fishing the events happen in that order. (Apart form the last one which happens at the same time as the second-to-last one)

. What are the chances of a Corsola appearing?. With an Adrenaline Orb, what are the chances of said Corsola calling for help?. When said Corsola calls for help, what are the chances of that being a Mareanieand not another Corsola?. When said Corsola calls for help, what are the chances of it not working?

Thankies in advance and sorry for lengthy question(s?) c:Oh and sorry for the amount of questions today >~<

Chaining Mareanie is unfortunately a very long and drawn out process; you’ll need a lot of patience and prior preparation if you want to chain a Mareanie with any particular attribute – whether that be an ability, nature or amount of IVs. If it’s any consolation I chained some Mareanie myself a while ago, so I can offer some insight into some ways to make the process a bit faster or more convenient.

For your first question, not only does it depend onwhereyou encounter the Corsola, but also on the means through which you find it. These are the numerous ways through which you can find one, and the chances you have of getting one to appear in each:

So obviously you’ll be making your way to Melemele Sea to fish in some bubbling spots. What if there aren’t any bubbling spots? Though my past experience, I found that whenever I left the Melemele Sea area (thus returning to Route 1 or Hau’oli City) and then returned to the Sea, all the bubbling spots were reset and reappeared. You can take advantage of this by fishing in a spot right by the border between the Sea and Route 1, so you can keep resetting the fishing spot. The best spot for this is toward the bottom of the area, and allows you to access another bubbling spot almost instantly after you end an encounter or find an item while fishing. Also, be sure not be holding B on Lapras or Sharpedo while near the fishing area, as doing this will cause the bubbling spot to fade instantly.

Regarding your question about the Adrenaline Orb, unfortunately it seems that this info isn’t available on the internet yet. However, from past experience, it seems that Corsola will call for help very frequently after an Adrenaline Orb, and almost always if you can knock down its health. This is backed by one of thefew pieces of information wedoknow about SOS battles, which is that each Pokemon has a “call rate”. Corsola’s is ranked at 9 – for context, the next and highest level is 15. So by comparison you’ll be getting encounters quite often while chaining Corsola.

So fortunately, you won’t encounter too much anguish actually getting Corsola to call for help, but you might when it comes to getting an actual Mareanie to appear. Assuming something does actually appear when Corsola calls, it’ll only be a Mareanie 20% of the time, which means if you’re unlucky, you might be knocking out Corsola for quite an extended period of time. (Also, if for some reason you decidednotto use the bubbling spots on Melemele Sea, now might be the time to switch. Without a bubbling spot, Mareanie’s call rate is knocked down to 1% and 5% on Melemele Sea and Route 9 respectively.)

Unfortunately, I can’t give an exact answer to your question about the chance Corsola’s call will fail. However, with experience using this mechanic, I believe that a. the chance it will fail never changes and is never different and b. the chance it will fail is around 1/3.This,this,thisandthisare probably the best resources for information on SOS chaining, so if you have any further questions, I’d recommend checking those out. Also,Serebiilists all the SOS battle Pokemon and links to location pages where their encounter rates are listed, so I’d check that out too if you’re in need of more numbers.
