 *Contrary to popular belief, cutting out potential spawns by intentionally not obtaining Ribbons does not increase your chances of getting a specific Pokémon, and in actuality, lowers your chances of encountering higher rarities the fewer Ribbons you have.
 ==Encounters==
-Wild encounters can provide useful information before battling such as rarity''(Based on Pokémon Level)'' and if it's a grass or water encounter''(Based on the Background they are standing on)''.</br>''The list below is sorted from least to most rare''.

 '''''Notes:'''''
 *Some Pokémon are classified as ''Paradox'' but do not have the same rarity as such.
-*Trainers may find Lv5 Pokémon through [[PokéBay]] and [[Trades]] as well. These are Legacy Pokémon caught before V4 and is no longer obtainable.

 ==Catch Rate & Threshold==
 Keep in mind, reducing their health to the requirements only grants you the ''possibility'' to capture and would not guarantee your catch. ''Catch Rates with scaling only starts on the threshold and not the opponent's max hp''.

+==Catching Tips==
+See [[Moves with secondary effects|Moves with Secondary Effects]].
+Whether you are a new trainer, old-fashioned, or one currently facing a dilemma, this guide will prove useful. Any Pokémon can be a catching Pokémon as long as you remember their damage. This guide serves as a recommendation and is not considered absolute.
+While throwing Master Ball or Vortex Ball is the safest option, it is not exactly the cheapest, especially for starting players. It is recommended to weaken a Pokémon using non-lethal moves like '''''False Swipe''''' and/or '''''Super Fang''''', which many Pokémon can learn, and then catch it with a Poké Ball.

+*Use ''Dark'' Variants to weaken opponent faster, and ''Mystic''/''Metallic'' as an extra defense.
+*Super Fang, Nature's Madness and Ruination does not benefit from extra damage as it deals fixed damage based on opponent's current HP.
+*Although Farfetch'd does not have Super Fang, a False Swipe with '''STAB''' and ''Dark'' Variant's effect would deal higher damage, unless it is ineffective to the opponent.
+*While Mawile does not benefit from '''STAB''', its Dual-Type combination makes it one of the most durable Pokémon.
+*Chien-Pao and Taku Koko has both False Swipe and Ruination/Nature's Madness, respectively, which can hit Ghost-type Pokémon.
+Before v6, players use low power [[Attackdex|Attack Moves]]. If you are currently in battle and do not have the previously mentioned moves, refer to [[Battling#Damage Calculation|Damage Calculation]].
