#204Pineco
BUGCOMMONPineco shows up in the level 10 hunt and averages 12 of loot and 68 XP per kill.
Is Pineco worth hunting?
Among the 31 Pokémon in the level 10 hunt, Pineco ranks 6th for loot per kill — 6% 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.
96% of all loot comes from a single item: Bug Antenna. If its price changes in game, this hunt's income changes with it.
The rare drop worth waiting for is Cocoon Stone (5,000 at the NPC), at 0.01% chance — on average one every 10,000 kills.
For XP it ranks 28 of 31 at this level — 68 per kill.
