How to use the workbook
17
• Start with Pick a Hunt to compare encounter rate, held item and Thief odds for each Pokémon and time.
18
• Use Held Items for one row per wild species, including Pokémon with no held item.
19
• Use Item Hunts to filter by the item you want, then compare the best regular location and combined table odds.
20
• Combined table odds multiply the species appearance rate by its item rate. They apply after the encounter method produces a battle.
21
• For Thief to take an item in Generation II, the Pokémon using Thief should not already be holding an item. Remove each stolen item before hunting the next target.

Important encounter notes
24
• Headbutt has common and rare tree sets; the workbook keeps those conditions separate.
25
• Swarms replace the normal encounter table while active and are listed separately from regular hunts.
26
• The Bug-Catching Contest occurs in National Park on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
27
• Fishing species percentages apply after the rod's bite check succeeds.
28
• Static encounters, gifts, trades, eggs and evolution-only Pokémon are outside this wild-encounter guide.
