Populate encounter data for Gen 8+ stub games todo task 2026-02-10T08:59:02Z 2026-02-10T08:59:02Z nuzlocke-tracker-rzu4

Fill in encounter data for games that currently have null/stub seed files. These games are not covered by PokeAPI and require manual curation or an alternative data source.

Games with null/stub data:

  • Sword (null)
  • Shield (null)
  • Brilliant Diamond (null)
  • Shining Pearl (null)
  • Scarlet (null)
  • Violet (null)
  • Legends Arceus (null)

Format requirements:

Each game's JSON file must follow the existing structure: ```json [ { "name": "Route Name", "order": 1, "encounters": [ { "pokeapi_id": 25, "pokemon_name": "pikachu", "method": "walk", "encounter_rate": 10, "min_level": 5, "max_level": 8 } ], "children": [] } ] ```

Notes:

  • This is likely the largest manual task unless the "explore automated sources" task finds a viable alternative
  • Depends on findings from the automated data sources task — if automation is viable, this becomes much easier
  • Sword/Shield and Scarlet/Violet use open-world/Wild Area mechanics that may need special handling
  • Legends Arceus has a fundamentally different encounter system (overworld encounters, alpha Pokémon, space-time distortions)
  • BD/SP are remakes of Diamond/Pearl — existing D/P data could serve as a starting point
