When encountered, a wild Pokémon's moveset will generally consist of the most recent four moves its species would know by leveling-up; that is to say, a level 8 {{p|Yanma}} will know {{m|Tackle}}, {{m|Foresight}}, and {{m|Quick Attack}} when encountered in the wild in {{game|Platinum}}, while one encountered at level 19 will have Quick Attack, {{m|Double Team}}, {{m|Sonic Boom}}, and {{m|Detect}}. This is true even for evolved species, such as {{p|Raichu}}, which, if it were able to be encountered in the wild in Pokémon Platinum, would always know {{m|Thunder Shock}}, {{m|Tail Whip}}, {{m|Quick Attack}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}. | When encountered, a wild Pokémon's moveset will generally consist of the most recent four moves its species would know by leveling-up; that is to say, a level 8 {{p|Yanma}} will know {{m|Tackle}}, {{m|Foresight}}, and {{m|Quick Attack}} when encountered in the wild in {{game|Platinum}}, while one encountered at level 19 will have Quick Attack, {{m|Double Team}}, {{m|Sonic Boom}}, and {{m|Detect}}.

There are several ways to alter the wild Pokémon encounter rate. One of these, introduced in Generation I, is the use of [[Repel]], which will avoid encounters with any Pokémon of a lower level than the [[party]]'s lead Pokémon.

One of these, introduced in Generation I, is the use of [[Repel]], which will avoid encounters with any Pokémon of a lower level than the [[party]]'s lead Pokémon. The [[Cleanse Tag]] was introduced in [[Generation II]], which lowers the encounter rate. Pokémon March and Pokémon Lullaby in [[Generation II]], played on the [[Pokégear]], will raise or lower the encounter rate respectively, while {{cat|Abilities that affect appearance of wild Pokémon|certain Abilities}} do the same since {{v2|Emerald}}. The White and Black [[Flute]]s can be used for this in [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]]. In [[Generation V]], two types of [[Entralink#List of Pass Powers|Pass Powers]] (Encounter Power ↑ and Encounter Power ↓ ) take over this function, while in [[Generation VI]], two [[O-Power]]s (Encounter Power and Stealth Power) inherit the same properties. | ||
In some instances, two wild Pokémon will appear at once. From Generation IV onward, if the player is accompanied by another Pokémon Trainer they can encounter [[Double Battle]]s in the wild. In Generation V, there is the chance of two Pokémon appearing at once in {{DL|Tall grass|dark grass}}. In [[Generation VII]], a wild Pokémon can [[SOS Battle|call for an ally]], turning the battle into a 2-on-1 scenario. In all instances, one of the Pokémon will have to be defeated before the other can be caught. | In some instances, two wild Pokémon will appear at once.
