Pokemon Orange Version

Reader mode
Right now we can't actually hurt Duskull. Still want to catch it though, because Dusknoir is a beast, and even Duskull is a tanky little thing.

Given that Pokemon can understand humans why not try to persuade Duskull to come with us? If it is wily it certainly wouldn't expect us treating it with respect.

Offer both the choice to leave with you.
-Duskull can travel around with you and learn more tricks.
Also evolving into Duskoir might be useful for it, and a trainer is the faster option to do so

We worked hard to catch him!

[X] Ignore Duskull for Now

We have no way of actually fighting a ghost.

Its gonna be a heck of a roll, but I want this duskull, I don't really care about the bidoof

-[X] Introduce yourself to Bidoof when they're awake and offer to catch them with Pokeball.0
[X] Try to Catch Duskull
-[X] Try convincing Dusky to join us so they can travel and trick more people and get stronger
--[X] If persuasion doesn't work then try to have Totodile attack Dusky with Leer into Scratch! If for some weird reason that doesn't affect the ghost Pokémon, then just throw poke balls at it and hope to get lucky, use up to 3 pokeballs before giving up and apologizing for bothering it.

There is now a box to fill out your strategy with in the vote.

Do note that Auerlia has never battled a ghost pokemon. If she sees normal attacks don't work on them, she'll know for next time.

Capture odds against pokemon are as follows: (bs = bonus successes)
-2 bs - auto fail
-1 bs - 1/16 (6.25%) catch rate
0 bs (full health) - 5/16 (31.25%) catch rate
1 bs - 11/16 (68.75%) catch rate
2 bs - 15/16 (93.75%) catch rate
3 bs - auto success

Higher rank pokemon essentially have their own bs that counters our own point for point, and so require better balls or setups to catch.

We have no way to inflict conditions nor even injure Duskull until Todo learns bite. We have no bs available to us. We can come back for it then (we know it haunts the tutorial guy and so can be encountered more-or-less at will), but at this time trying to catch it is mostly a way to end up with no balls.

EDIT: with three pokeballs, we have a 75.6% chance to catch the spook. I would prefer to come back with a way to do damage because even a single source of bs would improve those odds to 96.95%

@Kingster @Rah13 there's a 0 on the second line that needs to be deleted.
