As you all know, today is Thursday, which means the Bug Catching contest is on. I managed to get 2nd place again today (with a Scyther mind you), but I still didn't win. Is anyone else having trouble winning this? Every time I get something good, Cool Trainer Nick one-up's me with a highest level Scyther. I can't freaking win that damn Sun Stone. Any suggestions on how to win easier?

Hmmm, I caught Scyther this morning, and only got 3rd. Barry and Nick one-upped me with Butterfree and Pinsir...

My advice is to catch a Pinsir. Either that, or use GameShark and try to catch something you don't have...Scizor, Sunflora, Bellossom are good choices. I won with an Espeon last week...^_^

Try high level Butterfree/Beedrill? Or, I see high Kakunas (L 17?!) Sunkerns are relatively rare as well.

lv 15 pinsir dint win
lv 16 sunkern dint win
lv 19 kakuna dint win
lv 12 butterfree dint win
lv 17 caterpie dint win

that's what ive cought so far, i thought fot sure the pinsir or kakuna would win, and the butterfree is by far hardest to catch, and strong early in the game, so i figured it had a chance. does anyone know what they actually judge on?

I have only won once, with a level 14 male pinsir. Most of the time I always get second place, w/Butterfrees or Female Pinsirs. (Damn...I HATE Everstones!)

If you catch a level 15 Butterfree like I've done twice now, you practically can't lose.

I got first place with a level 13 female Pinsir. The only other time I participated I got second place with a female Sycther at about level 13 or 14. Not sure how the values are arrived at for ranking.

The more health it has when you catch it, the more points you get

Oh thats why I always win.... I send in my Lapras and knock em out with sing then snatch them up before then can awake.... they usually have half life left.... My stupid pokes are too high so I can't really use offensive attacks other then confuse ray, or else I'd knock em out.... Anyways thanks I never knew that!!! ^_^

I finally won, with a level 14 female Scyther, with about half HP left. I think the fact that Cooltrainer Nick obviously wasn't participating(if so, he wasn't even placed, which is unlikely) might also have helped.
