Headbutt trees
Teach a Pokémon Headbutt (TM02 from Ilex Forest) and use it on trees. Whether a tree is common, rare or empty depends on the tree and your Trainer ID.
Chances are the game’s encounter slots for each time of day: morning 4:00–9:59, day 10:00–17:59, night 18:00–3:59 (grass and caves 30/30/20/10/5/4/1, surfing 60/30/10, Old Rod 70/15/15, Good Rod 35/35/20/10, Super Rod 40/30/20/10). Where Gold and Silver differ, a cell shows both (G and S); a version tag means the Pokémon only appears in that version here. Version exclusives · Where to find every Pokémon.

Tips
- Talk to the farmer in the farmhouse first, then feed the sick Miltank in the barn seven Berries. Only plain Berries count.
- Once the Miltank is healthy, the farmer's wife gives you TM13 Snore and the farmer sells MooMoo Milk for ₽500, one bottle at a time.
- Pick the Mint Berry from the tree each day; it wakes a sleeping Pokémon.
- Tauros and Miltank (both Lv15) are rare in the grass at any time of day.
- Use the Itemfinder to find the hidden Nugget.
