The species and level of the Pokémon depend on both the location and encounter method. Other methods of encountering wild Pokémon include the following: | ||

There are several ways to alter the wild Pokémon encounter rate. One of these, introduced in Generation I, is the use of {{cat|Repels}}, 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. [[Radio in the Pokémon world|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 [[Generation III]] (many only gaining this effect in {{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 {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, encounters can be prevented by [[Rotom Pokédex|Roto Stealth]]. | There are several ways to alter the wild Pokémon encounter rate.

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}}. Additionally, wild Pokémon [[List of Pokémon by wild held item|can hold an item]], which can be obtained by catching the Pokémon or using a move like {{m|Thief}}. Wild Pokémon can steal the player's Pokémon's item in every generation except {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}. | 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}}.

Typically, wild Pokémon | Typically, wild Pokémon is not a central feature of the {{pkmn|anime}}, which focuses mostly on the Pokémon belonging to {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and other Trainers he encounters. Most of the Pokémon belonging to the group were shown in the wild at some point, but are usually {{pkmn2|caught}} at a later point in the same episode, most often at the end. Despite this, there have been several [[recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|recurring wild Pokémon]] who appear over a length of time and are not caught. Of all of these Pokémon, an {{AP|Aipom}}, a {{AP|Gible}}, a {{AP|Krokorok}}, a {{AP|Froakie}}, a {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}, and a {{AP|Rockruff}} went on to be caught several episodes after they appeared. As demonstrated in a number of occasions, {{MTR}} is also a wild Pokémon. | ||
There are, however, numerous examples of wild Pokémon being featured in the anime in debut episodes that introduce their species, such as Clefairy in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'' and Sudowoodo in ''[[EP162|Type Casting]]''. | There are, however, numerous examples of wild Pokémon being featured in the anime in debut episodes that introduce their species, such as Clefairy in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'' and Sudowoodo in ''[[EP162|Type Casting]]''. | ||
