The Poké Seer (Japanese: おみとおし Seer) is an elderly woman who sees information about a Pokémon. She is exclusively found in Pokémon Crystal, where she resides in a small house in the north of Cianwood City.
She appears with the same overworld sprite as the Medium, except with pink clothes (instead of gray).
She has been also referred to as Pokémon Seer.[1]
Mechanics
She can tell where, when, and at which level a Pokémon in the Trainer's party was met. In the case of outsider Pokémon, she will ask if it was received in a trade from its Original Trainer; in the Japanese versions, she will use the honorific ~くん -kun or ~ちゃん -chan depending on the OT's gender. She will also comment on the Pokémon's strength, based on its current level.
The Poké Seer is the only way to see this data in Pokémon Crystal, though this data can also be viewed in Pokémon Stadium 2. From Generation III onwards, this data was made available via the summary instead.
Whether meeting data (OT gender, area, time, and level) is present depends on the game it originated from and which games it has visited.
- In Pokémon Crystal, the meeting data is recorded for all Pokémon caught or obtained in-game.
- For Pokémon received from in-game trades or as a gift with a different OT, the OT gender and location is recorded, but no time or level.
- For Pokémon received from an event, the OT gender, time, and level is recorded, but no location.
- In Pokémon Gold and Silver, alongside Generation I games, this data is not recorded for any Pokémon. However, caught data from Pokémon traded from Crystal is preserved in Gold and Silver, but permanently lost if the Pokémon is transferred to Generation I.
- In Pokémon Stadium 2, this data is preserved while moving Pokémon with the PC, but permanently lost if the Pokémon is left in the party or the GB Boxes in a Generation I game once changes are saved.
Part of the data (time and level met) is stored as one byte. The upper two bits represent the time it was met, and the lower six bits represent the level it was met, which means the data can only be interpreted correctly for Pokémon met at or below level 63. For example, a level 70 Pokémon met in the morning will be reported as a level 6 Pokémon met in the day by the Poké Seer. Since the highest level a wild Pokémon can be encountered at in Pokémon Crystal is 60, and all event Pokémon in Generation II have their met level set to 5, this bug cannot be seen legitimately.
