==Terminology== | |||
In the game dialogue, the word "'''wild'''" is written in lowercase, such as in "'''wild Pokémon'''" and "A '''wild Pikachu''' appeared!" | |||
In some early official material, this word has also been occasionally written as "'''Wild'''" with an initial capital letter: | |||
* ''"You will travel North into the grassy area where you will run into many '''Wild Pokémon'''."'' (manual of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, page 16) | |||
* ''"Soon you find [Professor Birch] being attacked by '''Wild Pokémon''' on a road outside town."'' (manual of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, page 4) | |||

In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], there are fixed encounter locations where the same Pokémon always spawns at the same location, even when de-spawned by going off-screen. This includes wild [[Terastal phenomenon|Tera Pokémon]], which always have the same Tera Type when encountered on the overworld. After a fixed encounter is defeated, it will not respawn until the clock rolls over to the next day. | |||

When a Pokémon is nearby, the player's phone vibrates. The player can encounter a nearby Pokémon by tapping it in the Map View. Different kinds of Pokémon will appear in different environments; for example, {{type|Water}} Pokémon are more common near water. [[Weather]] also affects which Pokémon are common. | ||
In a wild encounter, the player attempts to catch a wild Pokémon in a [[Poké Ball]] before it runs away. Unlike in the [[core series]] games, these encounters do not involve battle. At higher levels, the player can use various Berries to make wild Pokémon easier to catch or use more powerful Poké Balls like [[Great Ball]]s and [[Ultra Ball]]s. While pressing and holding a Poké Ball, a ring will appear around the Pokémon. This ring shrinks over time; once it reaches its smallest size, it immediately returns to full size, and the cycle repeats. If the Poké Ball is thrown while the ring is very small, the capture is more likely to be successful. Throwing the ball while the ring is as far out as it can be, or halfway in the outer circle also provides small bonuses. | In a wild encounter, the player attempts to catch a wild Pokémon in a [[Poké Ball]] before it runs away.

In later arcs, wild Pokémon have become more common. In some cases, the possibility of controlling wild Pokémon without catching them has been demonstrated, such as with the {{TP|Brandon|legendary giants}} being controlled by {{Steven}} and the [[Hoenn]] [[Elite Four]] during the climax of the ''Ruby & Sapphire'' arc, or [[Colress]] controlling a wild {{TP|Blake|Genesect}} in the {{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}} due to [[Team Plasma]]'s inability to place it inside a [[Poké Ball]]. Examples of Pokémon that have appeared in the wild outside the chapters they were caught in include {{adv|Mewtwo}}, the legendary giants, and [[Rayler|Pearl's Luxray]]. | ||
