Wild Encounters & Rate Calculations

Encounter Rates

The rate column represents the percentage chance that this specific Pokémon species appears when an encounter is triggered in that habitat. In game data, slots with 100% rate represent gifts, in-game trades, stationary legendaries, or single-spawn wanderers.

Meeting Methods

Different encounter methods apply in the same route: walking through tall grass, surfing on water bodies, fishing with Old Rod, Good Rod, or Super Rod, smashing rocks, or triggering SOS calls.

Level Variations

Wild levels vary by game progression and route difficulty. The levels column shows the exact minimum and maximum level bounds coded into the encounter slot tables for that game.
