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

• Gift: Horsea (Lv. 25) — Vermilion City

  Side with the townsfolk in the Vermilion construction-site clash, then have Ryochi ask you for Horsea. Before obtaining the Good Rod, speak to the fisherman by the water without Oak’s Parcel. If the wild Horsea is already gone, he gives you one; otherwise he fishes up the wild encounter. Leave a free party slot.

  See Vermilion City: feed the Wingull and the Horsea, Vermilion City: the Good Rod (show Ryochi a Horsea)
• Scripted wild battle: Horsea (Lv. 25) — Vermilion City

  Feed the waterfront Horsea five Yache Berries, then agree to catch it. Alternatively, the fisherman can fish it up during Ryochi’s Good Rod quest if you sided with the townsfolk. One encounter; catching, defeating or fleeing removes it.

  See Vermilion City: feed the Wingull and the Horsea, Vermilion City: the Good Rod (show Ryochi a Horsea)

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