In the games, wild Pokémon will appear to the player in a variety of locations, most often when the player is walking through [[tall grass]], but also within [[cave]]s, abandoned buildings, or when {{m|surf}}ing on water. They may appear when walking over [[Sand tile|deep sand]], [[puddle]]s, or [[Snow tile|snow]]. [[Fishing]], interacting with Pokémon in the overworld, smashing [[breakable rock]]s, {{m|headbutt}}ing small trees, using {{m|Sweet Scent}}, and interacting with trees that have been slathered with [[honey]] may also initiate battles with wild Pokémon. Additionally, wild Pokémon sometimes hide within objects such as TVs, trash cans, and roadside bushes, and can be encountered by [[Phenomenon|phenomena]], [[ambush encounter]]s, or [[Soaring in the sky|soaring]]. Depending on the location, the Pokémon may be different species, and are typically at higher [[level]]s in areas only accessible later in the game.
