Wild Pokémon

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: Snorlax (Lv. 35) — Route 12

  Bring Mr. Fuji’s Poké Flute and wake the Snorlax blocking Silence Bridge on Route 12. One encounter; catching, defeating or fleeing removes it.

  See Route 12: wake the Snorlax (Poké Flute), Route 12: Prof. Birch's Torchic (missable), Route 12: the fish-zapper and the shiny Milotic (choose how to stop him)
• Gift: Torchic (Lv. 5) — Route 12

  Rescue Prof. Birch from Poochyena on Route 12, then accept Torchic. Missable: collect it before the Rainbow Badge ceremony hides Birch. Wake the blocking Snorlax to reach him in time. Leave a free party slot.

  See Route 12: Prof. Birch's Torchic (missable)
• Scripted wild battle: Poochyena (Lv. 5) — Route 12

  Before the Rainbow Badge ceremony, stop the Poochyena chasing Prof. Birch on Route 12. Wake the blocking Snorlax to reach it in time. One encounter; catching, defeating or fleeing removes it.

  See Route 12: Prof. Birch's Torchic (missable)
• Scripted wild battle: Milotic (Lv. 40) — Route 12

  Talk to the fisherman about the fish-zapper, then refuse to battle Hugo. When shiny Milotic appears, choose to stop it. Guaranteed shiny. One chance: refusing, catching, defeating, fleeing or losing ends its appearance.

  See Route 12: the fish-zapper and the shiny Milotic (choose how to stop him)

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