Template:Catch: Difference between revisions

This begins the chart. Two parameters may be entered. The first parameter should be the type of [[Template:locationcolor|terrain the area is]]. For example, a small town like Pallet or Azalea would use "land", while a big city like Goldenrod or Jubilife would use "building". The second parameter determines whether or not to show the morning/day/night headers. For Generation I and Generation III, set this to "no". For all others, set to "yes".

 

Catch/header/8 acts the same as Catch/header, however the parameter that is normally used for the morning/day/night headers is instead used to determine whether or not to show the [[Weather]] headers.

The various catchentry templates begin in the same way, with the Pokémon's [[National Pokédex]] number in the first parameter followed by its name in the second parameter. The third through fifth (third and fourth only for pairs) parameters may be set to "yes" or "no" in order to indicate if a Pokémon is available in that game, with the third as the first game, the fourth as the second, and fifth as the third version. The sixth parameter (fifth for pairs) indicates where the Pokémon is found, and by what method. The seventh (sixth) indicates the levels of the Pokémon. The eighth (seventh) varies among games, being the sole encounter rate for Generation I and Generation III, and indicating the morning encounter rate in other generations except Generation VIII, in tandem with the ninth and tenth (eighth and ninth), which indicate the day and night encounter rates. Named parameters, which are optional and should fall at the end, include "all", which, in time-based generations, indicate a Pokémon's encounter rate is consistent throughout the day, "tradenum" and "tradename", which indicate which Pokémon must be traded by the player to an NPC for the Pokémon in question, the weather effects in Generation VIII, and most importantly, "type1" and "type2", which indicate the type of the Pokémon.
