A '''fateful encounter''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|運命的|うんめいてき}} {{tt|出会|であ}}い''' ''fateful encounter'') is a flag attached to certain [[event Pokémon]] and some event-exclusive {{pkmn2|wild}} [[legendary Pokémon]] that indicates they were met in a special manner. In Generation III, "fateful encounter" was listed as the encounter location; in Generation IV and on, "fateful encounter" is in the text describing the method of encounter. | |||
However, "fateful encounter" does not always appear in the text of Pokémon with this flag set in Generations III and IV. In Generation III, this flag is set for any {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Deoxys}} received from events, as well as the Deoxys caught on [[Birth Island]] and the Mew caught on [[Faraway Island]]; without it, it is impossible for these Pokémon to [[Obedience|obey]] the player in Generation III, even if he or she has obtained all [[Badge]]s. Moreover, any Pokémon obtained in {{Pokémon XD}} will have this special flag set. In {{game|Platinum}}, the Shaymin caught in the [[Flower Paradise]] will be met in a fateful encounter; while only obtainable using [[glitch]]es, the Shaymin caught in Flower Paradise in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} will not be met in a fateful encounter, so cannot be used to obtain the [[Gracidea]]. | |||
In Generation IV, the presence of this flag, from {{game|Platinum}} onward, allows for special events to happen if the Pokémon with the "fateful encounter" flag is in the party. | |||

* It was once believed that a fateful encounter flag was needed to be set on a {{p|Jirachi}} in order to activate the {{pw|Night Sky's Edge}} [[Pokéwalker]] route; indeed, events where such Jirachi were distributed advertised such an unlockable. However, it was later discovered that all Jirachi are capable of unlocking the route even without the fateful encounter flag. | |||
* It was once believed that a fateful encounter flag was needed to be set on an {{p|Arceus}} in order to activate the {{tc|Hiker}} who both gives a {{DL|Plate|Flame Plate}} to the player in [[Oreburgh Mine]] and a book to the [[Canalave Library]] containing inscriptions of all the plates. However, it was later discovered that all Arceus are capable of unlocking the event even without the fateful encounter flag. | |||
