Pokémon locations

Each area below has its own table, split by encounter method. Rates merge every slot for a species and are shown per season; a single centered rate means all four seasons match. Time of day never changes Black 2/White 2 wild slots. Identical Black 2 and White 2 slots share one row with both game markers.
