From now, this is where I keep and test stuff.

Pokémon probabilities in Brawl
From Poké Ball. I'm translating these relative frequencies into actual probabilities. I'm currently mathing.

Method
Three of the Pokémon (let's call these the "rare") have a relative frequency of 0, which is actually a probability of 1/493. Together their probability is 3/493; all the other Pokémon thus have a combined probability of 1 - 3/493 = 490/493.

The combined relative frequency of the non-rare is 586, so the combined probability can be expressed as (490*586)/(493*586), somewhat trivial but it will be useful later on. 493 and 586 are relatively prime, so the lowest common denominator is 493*586 = 288 898.

A non-rare has a proability of (Relative frequency)*490/288 898, or equally (Relative frequency)*245/144 449. As an example, a relative frequency of 1 gives a probability of 245/144 449, or ~0.17%.
