Talk:Ambush encounter

Alright guys, I have started to work on this page, but I have some questions:

1. In some location pages, the clouds that Alolan Diglett and other Pokémon appear in are called "dust clouds", while in others they are called "dirt clouds". Which one should be used in this page?

2. The Pokémon that dart out of dens in Verdant Cavern aren't identified as being ambush encounters in the Verdant Cavern page, however aren't they the same thing as the dust/dirt clouds except they happen at specific locations?

3. In the Haina Desert page, the ambush encounters are identified as "sand clouds", however, they work the same way as the dust/dirt clouds and the name "sand clouds" is also given to the encounters in Hano Beach, which work differently. What should be done in this case?

4. Should the bubbling fishing spots be included in this page? They aren't ambushes, but they work similiarly to the rippling water from Gen. V and I don't think they deserve their own page.

I'd like to hear your opinion on these before I include them in the page. TepiGreninja (talk) 18:43, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

To answer your questions:

1. Does the official guide book give a proper name for it? If so, we should use that name. For now, we can list it under dirt, as that makes more sense to me.

2. They should be classed as ambush encounters. They stop you and attack you without fail when walking past.

3. Again, official guide book should help clear this up.

4. As for this, nope. The bubbling should be listed on the Fishing page under Generation 7.

Other suggestions I have: Separate Gen 6 and 7. Also, missing several Gen 7 encounters, from Lush Jungle comes to mind. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 18:23, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
