Route plan

Safari Zone has version splits and area splits. Route for Secret House first if you need Surf, then spend later entries on catches.

Wild Pokemon

Version

Each area below has its own table, split by encounter method. Red/Blue has no time-of-day mechanic, so every method uses a single rate column, and the R/B chips show which version each row applies to. Tall grass, cave, and Surf rates merge every base slot for a species out of the Gen I ten-slot table: 51/256, 51/256, 39/256, 25/256, 25/256, 25/256, 13/256, 13/256, 11/256, and 3/256. Fishing, gift, trade, prize, and static rows keep their own labeled rates.

Completion Checklist

  • Get Gold Teeth in Safari Zone West.
  • Reach Secret House for HM03 Surf.
  • Return Gold Teeth for HM04 Strength.
  • Defeat Koga for Soul Badge.
  • Verify the wild table's version splits before leaving if you are filling the Pokedex.
  • Use the item rows as a visible-item and hidden-item sweep before moving to the next section.

Sources

  • pret/pokered: wild encounters, trainer parties, trainer money, map object events, hidden event items, rods, trades, and prize Pokemon.
  • Encounter odds aggregate the Gen I ten-slot rates: 51/256, 51/256, 39/256, 25/256, 25/256, 25/256, 13/256, 13/256, 11/256, and 3/256.
  • Red/Blue has no day/night encounter column; tables group each area by encounter method with R/B game chips and a single merged Rate column.
