In the second generation of games, Headbutt can be used in the field to shake small trees, sometimes causing a wild Pokémon to drop out. Depending on the time of day, the Pokémon which falls out may be asleep. Some Pokémon can only be caught by this method (e.g Pineco, Heracross) as well as being found in trees in certain areas.
In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the ability to headbutt trees outside of battle to find wild Pokémon returned, although certain wild Pokémon being asleep depending on the time of day did not. After the National Pokédex is acquired non-regional Pokémon from Hoenn or Sinnoh can also be found using this method.
