A fateful encounter (Japanese: 運命的な出会い fateful encounter) is a flag attached to certain event Pokémon and some wild Mythical Pokémon that indicates they were met in a special manner. In Generation III, "fateful encounter" was listed as the encounter location; in Generation IV and on, "fateful encounter" is in the text describing the method of encounter.
However, "fateful encounter" does not always appear in the text of Pokémon with this flag set in Generations III and IV. In Generation III, this flag is set for any Mew and Deoxys received from events, as well as the Deoxys caught on Birth Island and the Mew caught on Faraway Island; without it, it is impossible for these Pokémon to obey the player in Generation III, even if they have obtained all Badges. Moreover, any Pokémon obtained in Pokémon XD will have this special flag set. In Pokémon Platinum, the Shaymin caught in the Flower Paradise will be met in a fateful encounter; while only obtainable using glitches, the Shaymin caught in Flower Paradise in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl will not be met in a fateful encounter, so they cannot be used to obtain the Gracidea, nor can be transferred up to future games.
In Generations IV and V, the presence of this flag, from Pokémon Platinum onward, allows for special events to happen if a certain Pokémon with the "fateful encounter" flag is in the party.
