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
- Scripted wild battle: Zapdos (Lv. 90) — Power Plant
After the final Hall of Fame entry following Giovanni’s defeat at League HQ. Earlier Zapdos battles are trainer battles and cannot catch it. One encounter; catching, defeating or fleeing removes it.
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.
