A '''fateful encounter''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|運命的|うんめいてき}}な{{tt|出会|であ}}い''' ''fateful encounter'') is a flag attached to certain [[event Pokémon]] and some {{pkmn2|wild}} [[Mythical 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}}な{{tt|出会|であ}}い''' ''fateful encounter'') is a flag attached to certain [[event Pokémon]] and some {{pkmn2|wild}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] that indicates they were met in a special manner.

However, "fateful encounter" does not always appear in the text of Pokémon with this flag set in Generations III and IV. 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 they have 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]]. | However, "fateful encounter" does not always appear in the text of Pokémon with this flag set in Generations III and IV.
