Roaming Pokémon

Roaming Pokémon are rare Pokémon that can be found randomly while on routes. Each region has a set of Roaming Pokémon that can be caught. So far, only Mew and Manaphy have no requirements to appear.

Odds
The chance to encounter a roaming Pokémon is 1/8192 for the first route of a region, and increases linearly up to 1/4096 for the last route of a region. "first" and "last" here just being the route number, not necessarily the order you reach the route. This means that a route you can 1-shot will always be at least as efficient as a route you can't, so it is recommended to idle on the highest route number you can 1-shot if you need them. A detailed list of roaming pokémon chances is listed on Route Statistics.
