Phenomena are a game mechanic introduced in Generation V. It is a different means of encountering wild Pokémon, and in some cases items. There are four types of phenomenon: rustling grass, dust clouds, flying Pokémon's shadows, and rippling water. Some Pokémon can only be obtained via this method. Phenomena will only appear after the player has the Trio Badge.

Phenomena will continue to exist off-screen and when the player accesses their game menus. They do not vanish until they are entered into, if the player enters into a battle before reaching it, if the player picks up an item off of the ground, if the player interacts with an NPC, or if the player exits the field entirely. Saving before entering a phenomenon will not preserve the phenomenon upon reset.

Rustling grass

Rustling grass is a phenomenon that only occurs in tall grass. Rustling grass allows the encounter of a wild Pokémon. Audino can be found in any patch of rustling grass. Various other Pokémon, such as the elemental monkeys in Pinwheel Forest, can be found in rustling grass, but usually at a lower encounter rate than Audino.
