If the player enters a patch of tall grass, they may randomly enter a wild Pokémon battle. People are warned to stay out of tall grass if they don't own a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, due to the possibility of being attacked by wild Pokémon. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, as wild Pokémon are encountered out in the open, moving through tall grass instead serves to make the player less visible to wild Pokémon. [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] is the only core series game in which tall grass has no gameplay effect whatsoever. | ||
In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], using {{m|Cut}} causes the tall grass tile directly in front of the player to be cut down. In [[Generation III]], this instead cuts down a 3 by 3 area around the player; in {{game|Emerald}} only, a Pokémon with {{a|Hyper Cutter}} will cut down a 5 by 5 area by using Cut. In [[Generation II]], {{DL|Tall grass|long grass}}, such as that in the [[National Park]], requires multiple uses to be cut down; in [[Generation III]], it is instantaneous. From [[Generation IV]] onward, Cut has no effect on tall grass. | In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], using {{m|Cut}} causes the tall grass tile directly in front of the player to be cut down.
