- Morning: 04:00-09:59. Day: 10:00-19:59. Night: 20:00-03:59.
- Grass slots total 100%; time, swarm, Radar, GBA insertion, Marsh, and Trophy Garden systems replace designated slots rather than adding extra probability.
- Honey uses four save-specific eligible Munchlax trees. Great Marsh rolls one 32-entry daily index per area. Trophy Garden retains today's and yesterday's report.
- Static, gift, trade, fossil, roamer, Pal Park, event, and Frontier access rows are labeled separately from ordinary wild encounters.
Major Trainers
All 105 Platinum trainer classes have an 80×80 web asset and manifest entry. Regular tables use small class sprites; boss cards scale the same source frame.
