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: Charmander (Lv. 10) — Pewter Pokémon Center

    Pikachu starter only. After the Viridian Forest Rocket scene, hear the Pewter Pokémon Center Trainer brag, rescue the abandoned Charmander on Route 2 East, and defeat its former Trainer. Missable: rescue it before the Cascade Badge. Once in the Pokémon Center, Charmander waits for you. Leave a free party slot.

    See Route 2, north of Viridian Forest: the abandoned Charmander (Pikachu starters only)
  • Trade: Beedrill for Onix ("Orochimaru")

    Trade a Beedrill in the Pewter Pokémon Center. One trade per game.

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