How to read these tables

Morning is 4:00–9:59, day 10:00–19:59 and night 20:00–3:59 on the game clock; a table marked "any time" is the same all day. Swarms, Hoenn/Sinnoh Sound encounters, and special night-fishing replacements are not active in this hack and are excluded. "—" means the table stores no level or chance for that entry. The encounter rate is how often you meet wild Pokémon on that map (higher means more often).

These are the ordinary encounter tables. Calendar encounters can replace specific land slots. Visible spawns and capture-chain bonuses use additional rules; table weights are not shiny odds.

Gifts, trades and scripted encounters

Gift Egg: Treecko — Cinnabar Island
Complete the Cinnabar lava-edge Egg scene and pick up the Egg with a free party slot. Do this before the League HQ round-1 Power Plant scene removes the man and Egg permanently.
See Cinnabar Island: the Egg in the lava (Treecko Egg; missable)
Scripted wild battle: Moltres (Lv. 90) — Cinnabar Island
After the final Hall of Fame, examine the lava’s edge where the Egg man stood. One chance: catching it, knocking it out or fleeing removes it; only losing allows a retry.
See Power Plant: Zapdos and the ecologist, Cinnabar Island: the Egg in the lava (Treecko Egg; missable), Cinnabar Island: Lawrence and Moltres (League HQ investigation), and catching Moltres

Some of these depend on your starter, story progress or a choice. See the quests above.
