#023Ekans
POISONCOMMONEkans shows up in the level 10 hunt and averages 12 of loot and 68 XP per kill.
Is Ekans worth hunting?
Among the 31 Pokémon in the level 10 hunt, Ekans ranks 17th for loot per kill, 0% below 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.
51% of all loot comes from a single item: Tooth. If its price changes in game, this hunt's income changes with it.
The rare drop worth waiting for is Snake Tail (78 at the NPC), at 3.00% chance — on average one every 33 kills.
For XP it ranks 4 of 31 at this level — 68 per kill.
