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 capture 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 {{ball|Great}}s and {{ball|Ultra}}s. While holding a press on 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. Capturing while the ring is as far out as it can be, or halfway in the outer circle also provides small bonuses.

====Legendary and Mythical Pokémon====
[[Legendary Pokémon]] have only been released for strictly limited periods in [[Raid Battle]]s. Several have had repeat appearances in later raids or as [[Field Research#Research Breakthrough|Research Breakthrough]] encounters. {{p|Deoxys}} (and {{p|Mewtwo}} prior to September 2018) only appears in special EX Raids. EX Passes grant players the ability to participate in an EX Raid and are distributed on a semi-random basis to players who have recently completed a Raid at the Gym where the EX Raid will take place.

The Mythical Pokémon {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Celebi}} have been made available as rewards for completing their respective [[Special Research]] tasks. {{p|Meltan}}, which can be evolved into {{p|Melmetal}}, can be spawned using the [[Mystery Box]].

Certain species will never be obtainable through any method involving capture. [[Baby Pokémon]] can only be obtained by hatching {{pkmn|Egg}}s, and Pokémon that are evolved into using an item can only be obtained via [[evolution]]. {{alo|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Meowth}}, and {{p|Grimer}} can only be obtained from hatching 7 km Eggs.
Some species, while obtainable by capturing, neither appear normally in the wild nor evolve from Pokémon that do. Instead, these Pokémon can only be encountered through other methods.
