Excepting Marill, and those Pokemon which only have one gender, everything is 3 males to 1 female.

What is the percentage for Pokemon like Houndour, Drowzee, etc. As in encounter rates? All I run into is Meowth, Meditite, Mawile, Shuppet, and Duskull usually. :<

Luck? I've run into about 6 male Houndour and never a female one ;.;

How odd that they made it hard to get female Marill of all things.

Really? I've never had an issue running into female Marill. O_o

I have hardly found a Gastly... and still haven't seen pokemon like Miltank =( GF should really make the encounter rate known... and make females more common

DW Marill is confusing.
You unlock the Male Marill at 7500 points, but Female Marill don't get unlocked until you reach 10000 points. Male Marill can ask to play two games, but Female Marill only ever one.
And while the hard figure 6:1 may make it seem that Female Marill would be rarer than any other 3:1 Pokemon, that figure only takes into account encounters of *Marills*, not other Pokemon. Factoring in others it's actually rather more that (past 10000 points) Male Marill are just more common than other Males, with Female Marill being roughly the same rarity as other females. (Females however are not all equally rare, so to say it's 'exactly' as rare as other females would be wrong.)

Most times GameFreak never make the encounter rates known, they're only found out by hacking into the games, which... can't really be done with the Dream World. Even official guidebooks just state things like 'Common' and 'Rare'. Though I do agree about females.

Why are famles so rare? and whats the point of giving a SW abilit to an all male Pokemon? They can't pass it on!

Females are so rare precisely for the fact that they can pass it on.

Also, the only non-legendary, male-only Pokémon that you can't breed their DW abilities onto are:
Tauros
Rufflet/Braviary
Tyrogue/Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan/Hitmontop
Throh
Sawk

So there's not that many.

Still... why give male only pokemon DW abilities if they can't pass it on?

Because they could still be useful to the Pokémon, even if it's offspring won't have the ability?

still it's quite annoying since they can't pass it on, you're gunna have to SR them to make sure they're somewhat decent, and Entree Forest SR'ing is a pain in the neck >:T

Anyway just figured out something handy about those new DW berries :D
I'll quote myself so you guys can read along :3

So where do the new Bluk/Razz/Nanab berries lie with this? Does she pay the uncommon or very rare price? Also does she pay the same amount for all three types?

I haven't brought home any of the berries yet because i want to grow more of the ones she pays most for (if its worth it that is)

EDIT: nevermind, she only pays $500 for all of them (;-;) Though if you grow all 15 plots worth of berries (10 berries per plot, 3 rows of 5 plots) that's about $75,000 just from berries, no?

10 berries x 5 plots = 50 berries

50 berries x 3 rows = 150 berries

150 berries x $500 per berry = $75,000

Though who would want to stand there and mash the A button ~10-12 times per berry? D: i guess it's a good thing you can only take home 20 berries at any one time then...
So you can still get about..

60 berries (bluk/nanab/razz) x $500 per berry = $30,000 a day

If my math is off, by all means, correct me :)
I just think it's pretty awesome to get so much money for berries, especially for those of us (like myself) playing White and naturally earn leass money in-game due to only people with Black earning a bunch of extra money from Black City.

Is there a Berry planting guide somewhere which has tips?
I am growing for a Manor House, and would like to know how many days it takes to grow those berries.

Bluk/Nanab/Razz Berries all take 1 day to grow, and give 10 berries per plant (if proper watering is done) and Lum berries take 3 days to grow giving out 5 berries per plant.
And i believe bulbapedia says something about berry growing...here --> CLICK!
And here --> By Growth Time though idk if it takes gen V growth times into account.

i know it's been a very long time since you posted this but i remembered your post and i just stumbled across the answer (which i'm sure you've found on your own by now...)
Leppa berries aren't available in the DW yet but they are found on wild Clefairy about 50% of the time in Giant Chasm :)
