Pokemon Farming: Aipom
January 31, 2008
Today, we present a Farmers Market Special: Aipom, the long tail Pokemon.

The Aipom for this event are unique, I did not breed them for fighting. I bred them to be item hungry fiends, using that hand for whatever item grabbing they can! I’ve bred up a “Field-Kit” Aipom, a Poke you can carry with you while EV training, chaining for shinys or just leveling up that can double as an item grabber.
First of all, these Aipom I have whipped up all have the ability Pickup. A Pokemon with this ability of having a 10% chance of picking up an item after a battle. The items you pick up vary with the level of your Poke, higher the level, more rare the item. They do not have to be in front of the party and you can have as many Pickup Pokes as you please in your party. In low levels, you can pick up escape ropes, potions, and antidotes. Higher levels can yield rare candies, some evolution stones like dawn and shiny stones, TMs, and on really rare occasions, Leftovers! An entire list is here.
On top of this random, item snatching ability, it has the in-battle moves like Thief and Covet to grab up the goods as well, which is really great for stealing those certain wild-held items, like Chanseys Lucky Egg, Kings rock, Magmar/Electabuzz evolution item, etc. No more tedium of having to catch a bunch of Pokes for an item and then hoping they even have it.
So here is the “Field Kit” move set:
- Thief- Attack 40 Accuracy 100% 10PP has a chance of stealing an item
- Covet-Attack 40 Accuracy 100% 40PP cutely begs to steal an item
- Fling-Attack ?? Accuracy 100% 10PP “Flings” held item, if any. Power depends on held item. Good for when you have something you don’t want!
- Double Hit-Attack 35 Accuracy 90% 10PP Strikes twice (Aipom will evolve to Ambipom upon learning this move, so it will evolve right away)
To make this the ultimate in “field use,” I would recommend teaching it one of the HMs it can learn, Cut, Strength, or Rock Smash. (To replace Double Hit once you’ve used to evolve Aipom perhaps?) I decided to not breed it with HM moves because they are readily available to everyone and so that you can choose which one you need more.
These non-battle “Feild Kit” Aipom will all be named after fictitious monkeys!
Would you like to get your hands on one of the “Feild Kit” Aipoms? Here how:
- Comment with your Name and Friend Code
- Even if we have traded before, I need your information again!
- Get a Pokemon to trade (preferably non-Sinnoh, though I will take anything, items are always appreciated.)
- Be in the Wi-Fi zone between 12pm (Noon) ET (New York Time) on February 2 (Saturday)
- Make yourself available to Trade (Invite–>Trade) I will come to you when I’m ready.
- If you are new to our site, your first comment will be moderated. Don’t worry if your post doesn’t show, we will get to it in time, and you will not miss out!

Alright, I will be on for a few more minutes and then I must be off :) Again, thanks to everyone for all the great Pokes and items!
I did miss quite a few of you, however. If you still would like one of the little monkeys, you can head down to our forums
http://forum.pokefarm.com
And check out “Missed Farming Events” and we can arrange for you to get one. Our forums also have general trades and battles all of the time, along with the forum farms and gym battles. Lots to do there, our forum rocks so much!
Thanks again everyone, and see you all next time!
Thx so much for the aipom and yay i made the event =)
