Encounter notes

National Park: During the Bug-Catching Contest, the wild Pokémon come from the contest sets listed below, not from the park's normal table.
Safari Zone: choose the listed area. Area selection unlocks during Baoba’s Sandshrew test, after his Geodude test. Object Arrangement never unlocks in this hack, so block-dependent bonus encounters are excluded. The listed candidates do not have a verified encounter percentage.
