r/Probability

Hey guys, PokéNerd here. I’m looking for a specific item (highlighted yellow) in the game, and the only way to find one is by having a Pokemon in your party with the ability ”Pickup” ability randomly pick one up post-battle

It’s a 1% chance they find that specific item, and there’s two in the 1% slot

I’m wondering what the probability of one of my six pokemon to find that specific item?

Also, I’m only using pkmn level 51-60, because I’m guessing it makes no difference due to the item still being only 1% in both 51-60 & 61-70 tiers? Would it be smart to have let’s say 3 in the lower tier, and then the other 3 in the higher tier?

Thanks guys hopefully this isn’t worded too confusingly
