      The cap stats are reachable legitimately with extreme patience and proper farming, mostly through Zero Isles or Destiny Tower for Life Seeds, Sitrus Berries and the vitamins.

    To recruit it, I used my “immortal Budew” strategy. Mobile Scarf allows Budew to walk through walls. Budew Scarf in the bag causes Budew to gain PP about 1/3 of the time when he takes damage. This also triggers whenever you take 1 damage from an empty belly. With this, having an empty belly is an advantageous situation, because the PP for Synthesis will always refill much quicker than you’ll take damage. Therefore, you cut PP and Belly out from the game entirely, meaning you only need to manage your HP, which is easy with Synthesis. This also allows you to completely cheese dungeons like Zero Isle Center with very few risks.

    Kecleon in general is just handled so weird. From being spawned on it's mat when the floor starts, the game considers it an enemy, but also like, a psuedo ally. Something i've noticed is that before stealing it auto-dodges literally everything you can throw at it, so it can't be hurt... except there are a slim number of ways to get past this. Force-hit attacks like aura sphere don't work, but for some reason, due to how it's handled, explosion _does._ So both you or enemy pokemon can explode on a passive kecleon and it will wildly mess things up.
    If you blow a kecleon up, it will immediately become aggressive and start attacking you back. It won't cause others to spawn, or change the music (or even cause a quote to appear in the action history), but it will try to clobber you. As far as I know it could even be recruited alone this way, but I can't say for sure. Once it's gone though, you can't buy from it's mat any more (assuming you didn't destroy all the items by exploding) as leaving the mat causes you to be immediately flagged as a thief, and from there continues as usual.
    It's even weirder if an ENEMY explodes on him though (this happened to me in one of the master-star dungeons, due to a drifblim's aftermath.) as he adopts really strange behavior. Kecleon will still retain it's immunity to you offensively, and you can't hit it - but it cannot hurt you either, and won't even attempt attacks. Despite that, it will start tailing you, leaving its mat and coming with you through the floor when it knows where you are. If an enemy appears, it will zip over to it with its 2x speed and thrash them, even. This psuedo-teammate kecleon will stay on the floor you found it, but it will be the strangest buddy while you're around. I have no idea if it will react or fix it's AI if you pick up/buy/steal items from its mat after this (the drifblim blew everything up) but it's an extremely weird quirk of kecleon's shopkeep AI and the way explosion is processed, and unable to miss.

      That same glitch also works with (and is more commonly done with) the Pass Scarf because of the way passed off attacks are coded
      When you pass off an enemy's move, technically that still counts as their attack, so passing it onto Kecleon causes the same temporary ally glitch as you described when they use an explosion move near him
      (Oh and you can still buy and sell stuff normally and he'll still follow you around and kill enemies for that floor)
      ...likewise if you're INCREDIBLY unlucky like I was one time, if an enemy with a Pass Scarf passes off your move onto Kecleon, technically that means YOU'RE the one who attacked him, quickly prompting him to beat you to death 😅

      actually, all you have to do is find the shop, which might be around 100 turns. From what I remember, the wind is something like 300 to 500 before you get removed or warned, not sure. You can also do this in ANY dungeon(some have bonuses to kekleon shops appearing). The wind is annoying mostly when you're leveling or trying to catch a randomly moving pokemon on the floor(such as a fleeing thief or lost one in need of rescue...it's AWFUL when they can float or swim and move over water/lava and you have to wait forever to complete the mission)

    Great video. Of course, 7:52 serves as a reminder that it's also important to have a plan to get to the exit without being killed after finally recruiting your precious Kecleon. Personally I used a Pure Seed to warp to the stairs.

  • @Dukstless
    @Dukstless 2 роки тому +830

    Kecleon's level is actually not hardcoded, but part of dungeon floor data. This is why your Kecleon is Lv. 42, as that's the level it spawns at in Marine Resort. It's like Lv. 90 by the end of Zero Isle North (not that you can recruit things there, but still). I recruited mine in Mt. Horn where it spawns at Lv. 48.
    Other excellent user is Altaria. Swablu has what is perhaps the best exclusive item for Kecleon (and pretty good on its own). Tuft Bow prevents stat drops to Swablu and Altaria as a passive effect. You know all these Defense boosts from Acupressure? What if the Kecleon couldn't just Screech them away?
    There's no need to hide them if Kecleon can't kill you. I consistently hit the wind warnings without ever dying, because at 255 +10 Defense even Kecleon stats aren't enough (and no crits because group H has Critical Dodger), while without buffs it was like 60 per hit at Lv. 100 capped stats.

    Hey Freezai, I'm a big fan of the content and it's really cool to see PMD on this channel. I come from this game's speedrunning community and have done a lot of work on routing out the Recruit 'Em All No Wondermail (REA No WM) category, this is definitely one of the more accurate videos I've seen from someone outside of the community, but there are still a few problems imo. First, when you steal stat boosting items still work as normal so you can just use a violent seed and get to +10 (yes PMD state stages go to +10) the acupressure stuff is pretty unnecessary. Second, not every kecleon comes at level 42, and actually you got a relatively low level one that has 254 in its attacks and defenses instead of the usual 255, also even when you recruit kecleon despite it normally having 255 to all stats other than HP it still gets +1 to HP every level. And third (mostly for the viewers), you don't need jumpluff and any pokemon with the fast friend IQ skill at level 99+ with a golden mask can do it. Jumpluff's kinda a bad choice to recruit kecleon with because its natural stats are bad so it takes longer to get to a point where it can make all the ranges you need, it's pretty bad for if you want to recruit anything other than kecleon (if you're gonna sink all these resources to get kecleon why not sink them into a pokemon that is good at traditional recruiting as well), and chlorophyll while cool is pretty slow and annoying to use (just set stuff up so you can OHKO kecleons), in the vid you can see that despite having maxed attacking stats on jumpluff with +10 on both of them wide slash still needed to crit to OHKO. To OHKO kecleons you can either use moves that get STAB or get boosted by weather, but if you want wide slash to OHKO (you definitely do) then probably the easiest way is to do some shenanigans with skill swap and get guts on whatever pokemon you choose to use (this makes it so instead of absolutely needing a crit to OHKO at 255 attack you just need to get 172 or higher base attack stat with +10 and guts active, this might sound like more work for little reward at first but trust me saving as much time as you do by OHKOing is definitely worth it even casually). Still a great video and a fun showcase of some odd PMD mechanics.
    P.S. The PMD speedrunning discord (you can find it pretty easily if you just go to the speedrun. com profile for PMD sky and click on the little discord icon) has a lot of people and resources with more knowledge than bulbapedia or serebii that are always willing to help.

    Reminds me of maplestory where major bosses' defenses ignore 300% of your damage, so you need the ignore-defense stat to exceed 66.6% to start dealing 1% of your damage. But sources of that stat are decimal & multiply with each other for diminishing returns, so stacking 40%-ignore lines nets you 64% with 2, 78.4% with 3, 87% with 4, & 92.2% with 5, which gets ~76% of your damage through a 300% def boss. Most sources that big have opportunity costs that cut into your actual damage, so most of your sources that don't compromise damage will be 5,10,15,20%.

    The only game when you'll reasonably get Keckleon is in Super Mystery Dungeon. It does requires you to have 750 Pokemon (out of 779) and finished the game, so it's not exactly easy, but it's way better.
    It's still pretty strong iirc.

    B. In Super Mystery Dungeon, I'd equip that gem that revive fallen allies and go to town against their army while they either cover me for my escape or just fight endlessly until we can eventually leave with our loot. I'd also have the gem that allows me to see enemies or the map or something. Now if we had the Kecleon policy in real life we'd probably be a little safer, just a little. Note: I'm never going to stop stealing from him as long as he's got good loot, the team of thieves inspired me as a kid. The Weavile, Arbok and the Scorpion fella. (Never liked gen 4 so I don't remember it's name)

    I never recruited kecleon as a kid, but I was able to the most recent time I played through blue rescue team. I spent about a month grinding a new save file from the start of the game until level 96. My strategy, as Cubone, was to hold friend bow, learn earthquake, and keep going through Wyvern Hill with my inventory consisting of: a trawl orb, one-room orb, escape orb, then fill the rest wit reviver seeds. I walk around until I find a kecleon shop, then I use the one-room orb, walk to the steps so I can quickly leave the floor and escape orb out of the dungeon if I need to, then steal kecleons items using trawl orb by the steps. Walk around until kecleons surround me, then earthquake all of them until I recruit one. I recruited one in an absurdly short amount of time (2 trips to wyvern Hill + KOing a total of maybe 15 kecleons) but this isnt normal and anyone who tries this will most likely have to kill WAY more kecleons. If you attempt this be ready to prepare and grind up for a good while for this and be prepared to repeat these steps over and over for a while.

    I did it with a Meganium spamming solar beam on sunny weather.
    I used Cresselia with her special item and double team to boost Meganium's evasiveness. Cresselia also knew lunar dance, which refilled PP, and I had a Smeargle sketch the move so I had infinite PP. I ran out of violent seeds after a couple of attempts (I didn't have many to begin with) so I started bringing a pokemon with helping hand to raise Meganium's attack to maximum whenever needed. Took me a good while but I guess it was worth it just for bragging rights
