Pal Park: The wild table changes with the day of the week (by the DS clock). You get in through the Catching Show's Fixed Catch mode at the Pal Park reception ($10,000; bring your own Poké Balls). Sunday's table is the same as Cerulean Cave's, probably by mistake in the hack, so it also has Surf and fishing slots: the park has a pond and a stretch of sea.

Safari Zone: choose the listed area. Area selection unlocks during Baoba’s Sandshrew test, after his Geodude test. Object Arrangement never unlocks in this hack, so block-dependent bonus encounters are excluded. The listed candidates do not have a verified encounter percentage.
