=Repel Trick=

By employing a method known as the Repel trick, the item can also facilitate hunting specifically higher-leveled, potentially rare Pokémon. 

It's usable on any Pokémon within an outlyingly higher level range in the spawnset of a given area. In order to execute it, one needs a Pokémon (fainted or not) positioned in the first slot that is of a higher level than every spawn but the targeted one on the map.

For example, to use the Repel Trick for [[Gible]] on the [[Moon]] where it is within a level range of 31-33, one should use a Repel while the lead Pokémon's level is in the range of 24-31. Because no other Pokémon on the Moon is higher than level 23, the Repel will winnow out every potential spawn except for Gible while the item is in effect. A level-33 lead Pokémon would work in this example as well; however, it’s inadvisable because it’d unnecessarily preclude the level-31 and -32 Gible spawns. Super and Max Repels also work for this trick, affording more steps at higher prices. 

To readily find Pokémon isolatable by this method, refer to the spawn tables in the following subsections. Due to the rarities of some potentially targeted Pokémon, it may take multiple Repels to successfully encounter them.

This trick can be used in conjunction with [[Synchronize_(ability)|Synchronize]]. By placing a '''fainted''' Pokémon with the intended Repel level in one's first slot and an unfainted Synchronize-possessor in the second slot, one can simultaneously repel lower-leveled Pokémon and use the Synchronize ability; this is because the Synchronizer is effectively treated as the lead Pokémon while the actual one is fainted.

==Synchronize==

If a Pokémon with the Synchronize ability encounters a wild Pokémon, there is a 50% chance that the game will force it to have the same Nature as the Pokémon with this Ability. Since this will enable us
to increase or chances of catching a Pokémon with our desired nature, this technique is commonly used when Repel Trick-ing. 

==False Swipe==

[[False Swipe]] is a restrained attack that prevents the target from fainting. The target is left with at least 1 HP. Even if this attack is used repeatedly when the Pokémon is at 1 HP, the Pokémon will not be killed. False Swipe Pokémon with the moves [[Spore]]/[[Sleep Powder]], and [[Thunder Wave]]/[[Stun Spore]] increase our chances of catching since status plays a major role in catching Pokémon.

If your desired Pokémon is a Ghost-Type, then you may get a [[Smeargle]] or a [[Golduck]] with the move Soak.
This will turn the Pokémon into a Water type and will allow you to use False Swipe on the Ghost-type afterwards.
