View source for Vespertine Pokémon

Some {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are '''{{wp|vespertine (biology)|vespertine}}''', which means they appear more frequently in the wild during the [[time|evening]], or do not appear at all unless it is evening. This only applies to [[Generation IX]]; while this transitory period between daytime and night was introduced in [[Generation IV]] and used for certain other mechanics such as [[evolution]] or [[location preview]], only in Generation IX is it counted as separate for the purpose of spawning Pokémon.

A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in that location in the specified game. A white background with colored text means that the Pokémon cannot be found there.

==Generation IX==
