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.
Route 3
Encounter rate: grass/cave 20
trees: Route 3
4 normal trees. Whether a tree is "common" or "rare" depends on your Trainer ID.

Gifts, trades and scripted encounters
- Scripted wild battle: Ralts (Lv. 15) — Route 3
After the Cascade Badge, if you did not accept the painter’s gift, read the letter beside Ralts and agree to take it. One encounter; catching, defeating or fleeing removes it.
See Route 3: the old painter's Ralts (Fresh Water errand; before the Cascade Badge) - Gift: Ralts (Lv. 15) — Route 3
Before the Cascade Badge, give the Route 3 painter one Fresh Water, then accept his Ralts. Leave a free party slot.
See Route 3: the old painter's Ralts (Fresh Water errand; before the Cascade Badge) - Scripted wild battle: Scyther (Lv. 15) — Route 3
Charmander starter only. Talk to Bug Catcher Kenji to reveal the Scyther on the ledge, then challenge it. One encounter; catching, defeating or fleeing removes it.
See Route 3: the Scyther chase (Charmander starters) / Bug Catcher Kenji (others)
Some of these depend on your starter, story progress or a choice. See the quests above.
