Emerald Shiny Remoraid Calculator
2 MethodsBoth methods here share the same odds, about 1 in 8,192 on each try. Pick whichever fits how you play.
Full Odds: Walk through grass, surf, or fish. Every encounter is its own independent shiny roll.
Breeding: Hatch eggs of this line; each egg rolls at the base shiny rate (no Masuda before Gen IV).
How many you have done, or plan to do.
| Chance | Encounters | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 10%lucky few | 864-- | -- |
| 25%one in four | 2,357-- | -- |
| 50%coin flip | 5,678-- | -- |
| 90%very likely | 18,862-- | -- |
Time assumes -- at your pace and does not change your shiny odds.
How is this calculated?
Every encounter has the same shiny chance, the Shiny Odds Per Try shown above. Each one is a separate roll that does not care how many you have already done, so the more you hunt, the higher your overall chance of at least one shiny. The formula below turns your odds and your number of tries into that combined chance.
chance after N tries = 1 − (1 − p)^N, where p = 1 / odds per try
Example at 1 in 8,192 (classic full odds): about 864 encounters for a 10 percent chance, 5,678 for 50 percent, and 18,862 for 90 percent.
The table above flips that around: it shows how many encounters it takes to reach a 10, 25, 50, and 90 percent chance at your current odds. Turning on boosts like the Shiny Charm, sandwiches, or chains improves your odds, so the encounter numbers drop.
These are estimates, not promises. Most games have no pity counter, meaning no guaranteed shiny no matter how many you hunt, so even Very Likely is not guaranteed: some hunters find one early, others go well past that point.

AbilityHustle boosts Attack by 50%% at the cost of accuracy, but Remoraid is too frail to take advantage before evolving. The moveset should run special Water moves while leveling.

Moves List
The natural movepool does the job, but Aurora Beam and Haze from the egg pool give Remoraid something extra. Pair those with Surf and Dive for STAB and coverage across 7 types for reach, and the kit fills out nicely.

Remoraid Emerald Guide
- Where in the Emerald Safari Zone can I find Remoraid?
See the Locations section above for where to find Remoraid in Emerald.
Safari rules: You can only use Safari Balls. No battling. Two tactical items shift the catch/flee trade-off:
- Throw bait to keep Remoraid from fleeing (flee rate cut to 1/4) but it becomes harder to catch (catch factor halved).
- Throw a rock to make Remoraid easier to catch (catch factor doubled) but it flees twice as often.
- Each effect lasts 2-6 random turns; throwing one cancels the other.
For Emerald, you can run Remoraid through the first few routes without issues. 300 BST won't carry you far though. Get it to Octillery as fast as you can.
Game Availability
Available in 17 titles since its debut in Gold & Silver, Remoraid spans 8 generations of Pokemon games. It's accessible through catching or hatching as a base form in most mainline games.
