pokemon HGSS rock smash legality

[NinFanBoyFTW]

Hi. I just wanted to let you know that on a few pokemon that I have caught (shuckle, Dunsparce) when I check their legality it says encounter type does not match encounter. For the dunsparce I went into dark cave used rock smash once and a dunsparce appeared. for its encounter it says cave/hall of origin.

Also just to let you know I just caught another dunsparce and it is saying the same exact thing

Is this from rock smash too? if so can you send the pk7? @NinFanBoyFTW

I think encounter type for rock smash encounters should be checked for every possible location with rocks, just like it has been done with headbutt encounters.

I think the encounter type for rock smash is the same as headbutt trees, it depends on the tile the player is standing, that means in a cave location with a rock it will be cave, a rock inside a city will be building, a rock adyacent to a water tile with have one of the previous plus surfing. What i dont know is where is possible to have the encounter type rock smash itself, maybe in routes? headbutt trees in routes have none encounter.

So a byte resource is whats needed for rock smash encounters i assume? Since the exact locations of those are not yet documented?

No, all encounters are there. Some maps just have multiple encounter types possible(?) depending on the tile the player is standing on.

Oh I thought since headbutt needed added byte resources, so would rock smash.

The headbutt byte resources is only for pokemon crystal. In that game the table encounter used by a tree depend on the coordinates of the tree and the trainer ID, that is why a byte resources is needed, for the coordinates.

For HG and SS instead the headbutt encounters use a table of locations, one table with locations with headbutt in caves, another with headbutt in cities, another with headbutt near water and heabutt near grass. One location can be in more than one table for the headbutt (a route with a tree near grass, another tree near non combat tile and another tree near water for example)
