In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the Shaymin in Flower Paradise (only accessible using glitches or cheating) will not be met in a fateful encounter, so cannot be used to obtain the Gracidea, nor be transferred to future games.


In Pokémon Platinum, the Shaymin caught in the Flower Paradise will be set as a fateful encounter.Any Pokémon obtained in Pokémon XD has the fateful encounter flag set.In Generation III, this flag is set for Mew and Deoxys caught on Birth Island and Faraway Island.However, there are some cases where it is possible to obtain Pokémon met in a fateful encounter in-game. Normally, only Pokémon obtained from event distributions can have the fateful encounter flag. While Pokémon can have both the flag and the met location, many Pokémon have the met location "Fateful Encounter" but not the flag, or have the flag but a different met location.įrom Generation IV onward, "fateful encounter" is written alongside the met location to describe the encounter method.

When migrated via Pal Park, it is the fateful encounter flag that is carried over, not the met location. In Generation III, the fateful encounter flag is entirely invisible to the player, entirely separate to the "Fateful Encounter" met location.
