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: Lugia (Lv. 95) — Whirl Islands B3F Lugia Cave
After the final Hall of Fame, ask Satsuki in the Dance Theater to see Lugia, then start the ceremony in Lugia’s cave. One chance: catching it, knocking it out or fleeing removes it; only losing allows a retry. If you already received Ho-Oh, the shortened Lugia menu takes the wrong branch; talk to Satsuki again and select Lugia from the full menu.
See Whirl Islands: catch Lugia (after the final Hall of Fame)
Some of these depend on your starter, story progress or a choice. See the quests above.
