Xatu

PSYCHICFLYINGUNCOMMON

Xatu shows up in the level 80 hunt and averages 100 of loot and 3,848 XP per kill.

Is Xatu worth hunting?

Among the 43 Pokémon in the level 80 hunt, Xatu ranks 3th for loot per kill — 9% 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.

52% of all loot comes from a single item: Psychic Spoon. If its price changes in game, this hunt's income changes with it.

The rare drop worth waiting for is Enigma Stone (5,000 at the NPC), at 0.32% chance — on average one every 311 kills.

For XP it ranks 34 of 43 at this level — 3,848 per kill.

Drop chance, count and NPC price for every item. Expected value already accounts for the chance and the average count.
