Wild Pokémon

This subarea has no random wild table or source-scripted Pokémon encounter. Gifts and event access are listed when applicable.

Trainers

Route order follows event-object order, then source-script order. Teams show held items and moves only where Platinum explicitly defines them. Rewards use the engine formula: highest party level × 4 × trainer-class multiplier.
