In the games, wild Pokémon will appear to the player in a variety of locations, most often by walking through [[tall grass]], but also within caves, abandoned buildings, {{m|surf}}ing on water, [[fishing]], {{m|Rock Smash|smashing rocks}}, {{m|headbutt}}ing small trees, using {{m|Sweet Scent}}, or by slathering [[honey]] on certain trees. Depending on the location, the Pokémon may be different species, and are typically at higher [[level]]s in areas only accessible later in the game.

When encountered, a wild Pokémon's moveset will consist of the most recent four moves its species learns by level-up: that is to say, a level 8 {{p|Yanma}} will know {{m|Tackle}}, {{m|Foresight}}, and {{m|Quick Attack}} when encountered in the wild in {{game|Platinum}}, while one encountered at level 19 will have Quick Attack, {{m|Double Team}}, {{m|SonicBoom}}, and {{m|Detect}}. This is true for even evolved species, such as {{p|Raichu}}, which, if it were able to be encountered in the wild, would ''always'' know {{m|ThunderShock}}, {{m|Tail Whip}}, {{m|Quick Attack}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
