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. | 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, 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]]. | ||
