Wild Pokémon often do not know the best moveset for their level, but instead know the moves that were the most recently obtainable. Some wild Pokémon who can learn almost any move by way of an ability or special move (such as {{p|Smeargle}}) won't use this ability before being captured. | Wild Pokémon often do not know the best moveset for their level, but instead know the moves that were the most recently obtainable.

Wild Pokémon are encountered by walking in [[tall grass]] or caves, traveling with {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Headbutt|headbutting}} trees ([[Generation II]] | Wild Pokémon are encountered by walking in [[tall grass]] or caves, traveling with {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Headbutt|headbutting}} trees (in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]]), breaking open rocks with {{m|Rock Smash}} (in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|III}}), by fishing, or by slathering [[Honey]] on Honey Trees and checking back later ([[Generation IV]] only). Wild Pokémon can also appear when using {{m|Sweet Scent}} or Honey whilst standing stationary in grass. Also, in [[Generation II]], listening to Pokémon March on the radio increases the probability of encountering wild Pokémon when walking through the grass, in caves or surfing, and listening to Pokémon Lullaby will decrease the probability. In Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, several Pokémon [[Ability|abilities]] have the same effects when those Pokémon are in the lead spot. | ||
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, wild [[double battle]]s were introduced. The player will encounter another character that needs help getting through the said location. When the Trainer encounters a Pokémon with this person, it will be a wild double battle. When this wild double battle occurs, the player cannot capture a Pokémon until one of them has fainted. After the protagonist goes through the area the first time, the wild Pokémon will only appear in single battles. | In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, wild [[double battle]]s were introduced.
