[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Lord Windos]

Catching a Gyarados in the Safari Zone is harder than you might think. You'd be lucky to get its Will down to 5 in opposition to a 2 Seal Safari Ball.

In the wild of course you can faint it and get it in a couple throws.

Question: Could a Pokemon be Teleported out of the Safari Zone, THEN Fainted/captured legally, since you are no longer in the Zone and are subjected to its rules? Similarly, could a person transport a Pokemon out of the Zone via non-capture methods, then Faint/Capture legally? Nathan has double Teleporters AND a Sleeper in Gallade and his Ditto (If its able to Transform freely, anyway), so he could feasibly pull off the combo if he designates a Teleport destination that is nearby TV.

More questions: Can a Pokemon be Grudged/Spite, then captured, since depleting their Will doesn't 'Faint' them per say, but makes it infinitely easier to catch them? Could somebody weaken a Pokemon, Poison/Burn them, then 'leave the area' (IE: Not be around when the Pokemon Faints) and come back to capture them when they Faint legally? What about setting traps for a Pokemon that can't escape them, and offer to them to either be captured and freed from the trap, or be left in it? Bribing Wild Pokemon to attack/Faint another Pokemon you want, and then capture the Fainted foe? Luring a Pokemon outside the Safari Zone, then Fainting/Capturing them? Getting a Pokemon to KO itself, and then capture them, since you didn't Faint them?

I'm asking these questions to cover all bases, as well as possibly give everyone else more leeway in snagging 'mons from the Safari. All the methods are creative, but hey, if it works and is totally legal.....
