Talk:Wild Pokémon

I recently made the edit about Smeargle's learning Sketch and not being able to use it prior to the battle with the player, and after a question asked by Martonimos during a correction, I was wondering if anyone could think of another with an ability or move like that, and if they could mention it on either this talk or the article? I will also look into it. Theininen 00:48, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Mimic, perhaps? And Ditto with Transform? Sorry if I've missed where you're going with this :/ — THE TROM — 10:23, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Pokémon who know Thief, Trick, or Switcheroo aren't more likely to hold items, or hold items from other wild Pokémon nearby they might have fought. You don't find already transformed Dittos outside of Snap, and Skill Swap users always start the fight with their own skills, although these 2 reset between battles normally.Spriteless 14:43, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Losing money?

Why do we lose money when we loose to any legendarie like azelf?--Maii 21:07, 25 October 2009 (UTC)Maii

Because you panic and drop some. Or at least that's what it said in FRLG (I ran a test the other night). 梅子^❀_✿ 22:16, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Actually, I just tried it out, and it's not just legendaries that cause you to lose money.

Again, this is FRLG, not sure if it's different in other games. (So, to keep this relevant to the article... should we add a note about money loss into there?) 梅子^❀_✿ 22:25, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

It's a nice touch, but I don't know if it's really necessary, especially cause it doesn't look like it's that great quality. PichuMaster 20:28, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Triggered encounters

Would there be any merit to having a section in this page/a new page that lists all the Pokémon that are encountered (in a battle where it can be caught) through interacting with them in the wild in some manner (as opposed to random encounters in grass, etc.)? Roaming Pokémon should not be included here, because they're just a modification to standard grass encounters, not a forceful trigger of an encounter.

Such Pokémon are: all the legendaries and Snorlax in Gen 1; Lugia/Ho-Oh and some Electrode in Gen 2; Kecleon, the golems, Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza in Gen 3, etc. Obviously I've missed several out here. Each Pokémon in the lists (one/two per Generation) is listed with their encounter levels and locations, as well as notes on how to trigger it if necessary (e.g. need the Devon Scope for Kecleon). ~ Serial Colour 03:07, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Gen V Change

You can find double battle wild Pokémon on Route 16 by yourself, in a grassy area where single battle wild pokemon can be found. --+ Joeshie + (is Mæ!) 22:00, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Dream World

Are Pokémon befriended from the Pokémon Dream World wild Pokémon? --Enervation 20:14, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

I believe they are considered so, considering you have to catch them in dream balls to really capture them. It's Turtwig A! My talk or wiki edits 20:19, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

While capturing a wild Pokémon in Entree Forest, the in-game description was: "Nidoran♀ seems to want to join [player name]'s party...Would you like to add the Pokémon to your party? (yes)(battle screen) The Nidoran♀ you saw in your dream appeared!"* No mention of wildness... --Enervation 20:44, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

The term wild is pretty loose to be quite honest. The Pokémon in the dream world are technically nonexistent, so I guess they could be considered wild without being said to be so. It's Turtwig A! My talk or wiki edits 02:45, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Are they nonexistent? I always assumed that they were real wild Pokémon who were dreaming. --Andy^P_K^M_N (talk) 15:15, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Dr. Footstep

Some of the trained Pokémon's thoughts on wild Pokémon could somehow fit onto this page, such as:

• "Some wild Pokémon frown upon others for traveling with humans. They jeer that the caught Pokémon have "forgotten" the wild. But that view is mistaken. They have just never met a Trainer who could be a great partner. A great partner like (player), in other words..."
• "Not for a moment did I think I would be traveling with a human... If my Pokémon friends were to see me now, they would be shocked. Or would they be envious of me...?"
• "Trainer is... A remarkable human and Trainer. That I can always perform the best any Pokémon possibly can...I attribute that entirely to my partner Trainer. When we travel I can see wild Pokémon eyeing us enviously..." --Enervation 21:02, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Probability

Wild Pokémon select a move randomly, right? So is the probability of choosing [move] based on how many moves it knows, or is it based on power points? ~Enervation 14:29, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
