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: Seviper (Lv. 30) — Route 42

  Choose “I’ll save it” when Seviper threatens Blissey’s Egg on Route 42. Choosing “Let nature be” permanently skips the battle. One chance: catching it, knocking it out or fleeing removes it; only losing allows a retry.

  See Route 42: small extras

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