Route Notes
- The Tower Rival is optional before the Silph Scope but useful for experience.
Wild Pokemon
Version
Each area below has its own table, split by encounter method. Standard wild rows merge every slot for a species into one line with a combined rate, and FireRed/LeafGreen exclusives are marked with FR/LG game chips; there is no time-of-day split in these remakes. Underlying slot odds: grass and cave 20/20/10/10/10/10/5/5/4/4/1/1; Surf and Rock Smash 60/30/5/4/1; Old Rod 70/30; Good Rod 60/20/20; Super Rod 40/40/15/4/1. Gift, static, trade, and prize Pokemon keep their own labeled rows.
