+title: Improve encounter method input in route encounter form
+status: todo
+type: feature
+created_at: 2026-02-08T19:06:10Z
+updated_at: 2026-02-08T19:06:10Z
+parent: nuzlocke-tracker-iu5b
+---
+
+Replace the free-text encounter method input in the route encounter form (RouteEncounterFormModal) with a smarter selector that leverages the known encounter methods already defined in the codebase.
+
+## Current behavior
+- The encounter method field in RouteEncounterFormModal is a plain `<input type="text">` with a placeholder "e.g. Walking, Surfing, Fishing"
+- Easy to introduce typos or inconsistent naming (e.g. "walking" vs "walk" vs "Grass")
+- The app already has a well-defined set of encounter methods in `EncounterMethodBadge.tsx` with METHOD_CONFIG and METHOD_ORDER (starter, gift, fossil, trade, walk, headbutt, surf, rock-smash, old-rod, good-rod, super-rod)
+- The backend stores this as a `String(30)` column, so it's not strictly enum-constrained
+
+## Desired behavior
+- Replace the free-text input with a dropdown/select that lists the known encounter methods from METHOD_ORDER, using the human-readable labels from getMethodLabel()
+- Include an "Other" option that reveals a text input for custom methods not in the predefined list
+- When editing an existing encounter, pre-select the correct method
+- Consider showing the colored badge preview next to each option for visual consistency with how methods appear elsewhere in the app
+
+## Files
+- `frontend/src/components/admin/RouteEncounterFormModal.tsx` — replace the text input with new selector
+- `frontend/src/components/EncounterMethodBadge.tsx` — export METHOD_CONFIG or add a helper to get the list of known methods
