Ambush encounters are a means of encountering wild Pokémon introduced in Pokémon X and Y. Most of them involve the wild Pokémon chasing the player, or jumping at them from a hiding place. In Pokémon Sun and Moon, Pokémon encountered by this method may drop items after they are defeated or captured.
Dropping from the ceiling
In X and Y, some caves have shadows inside. If the player walks on them, a wild Pokémon will drop from the ceiling and attack.
Possible encounters | |||||

Noibat | Terminus Cave, Victory Road |
Shaking trash cans
In X and Y, there are special trash cans in Lost Hotel and Pokémon Village. Occasionally, trash cans contain an item rather than a wild Pokémon.
There are five trash cans in the Lost Hotel. Their locations are:
- Route 15 side:
- In the first hallway by the Punk Guy
- West of the Punk Couple
- Just right of the Twirling Whirlwind
- Route 16 side:
- On the east side of the room north of the south hall
- In the far southwestern corner
If one of these trash cans is shaking, a Pokémon or an item can be found inside it.
The trash can west of the Punk Couple will contain a Pokémon or item every day, while the remaining four trash cans may only contain a Pokémon or item once a week, on Tuesdays. On Tuesdays, only three of those four trash cans will shake, while the last will remain empty. Both types of trash cans also contain different Pokémon and items (meaning, even on Tuesdays, the daily trash can will contain the same types of Pokémon and items as it does every other day).
There are five trash cans among the field of yellow flowers in Pokémon Village. Their locations are:
- Three along the south edge of the village, ranging between the tire and the river
- One west of the tire
- One northwest of the empty western canopy
If one of these trash cans is shaking, a Pokémon or an item can be found inside it.
The middle trash can along the south edge of the village will contain a Pokémon or item every day, while the remaining four trash cans may only contain a Pokémon or item once a week, on Thursdays. On Thursdays, only three of those four trash cans will shake, while the last will remain empty. Both types of trash cans also contain different Pokémon and items (meaning, even on Thursdays, the daily trash can will contain the same types of Pokémon and items as it does every other day).
In both locations, once a Pokémon or item has been found in a trash can, that trash can will not shake again for the rest of the day. The contents of trash cans are generated upon interaction (so soft resetting may yield different Pokémon or items).
