A swarm lasts for the day of the phone call. Register the trainer’s number after battling them.

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

• Tangela (up to 30%) and Lickitung (Lv 24 to 26, up to 15%) are worth catching here at any time of day.
• Get Fisher Wilton's phone number; he calls when Remoraid are swarming here, which is the easiest way to catch one.
• The Max Revive and a hidden Elixer are on the grassy patch in the middle of the lake, so bring Surf.
• Fish with the Super Rod for Remoraid even outside a swarm; surfing turns up Poliwag and Poliwhirl.
• Pick the Burnt Berry tree each day; Burnt Berries thaw a frozen Pokémon, which is handy before the Ice Path.
