ELECTRICRAREAmpharos shows up in the level 80 hunt and averages 93 of loot and 3,848 XP per kill.
Is Ampharos worth hunting?
Among the 43 Pokémon in the level 80 hunt, Ampharos ranks 20th for loot per kill — 1% above the level's median.
Its loot-to-XP ratio sits close to the level median — neither a money hunt nor a pure XP hunt, it serves both at a similar pace.
89% of all loot comes from a single item: Wool Ball. If its price changes in game, this hunt's income changes with it.
The rare drop worth waiting for is Thunder Stone (5,000 at the NPC), at 0.12% chance — on average one every 862 kills.
For XP it ranks 35 of 43 at this level — 3,848 per kill.
