Does the level of your lead Pokémon affect what Pokémon you encounter?
On Pokémon White, when I was first in the Desert Resort, I encountered mainly Sandile and Darumaka. However, after training up my lead Pokémon, a Servine, from about level 20 or so to about level 30, I noticed that I was encountering many more Maracti and Sigilyph, and hardly any Sandile or Darumaka. When I first started training in the location, I rarely encountered Maracti or Sigilph, but at one point, when the level of my lead Pokémon was higher, I encountered six Maracti in a row, along with many Sigiliphs. Did my luck just take a turn for the better, or is there an explanation for this?

How does Pokemon encounter rate work?
The encounter rate is the probability of meeting specific pokemon types. The types are categorized in: common, uncommon, rare, very rare, extremely rare, legendary and shiny. The chances for meeting uncommon+ pokemon are 50% higher with Gold Membership. 25% higher with Honey.What level are wild Pokemon?
Wild Pok\xe9mon (except from raids and research tasks) can appear at any Power Up level up to the player's Trainer level, capped at level 30. If they are weather-boosted, they can instead appear at any Power Up level up to the player's Trainer level + 5, up to level 35.How do you deter wild Pokemon?
Attach a Cleanse Tag to your Lead Pok\xe9mon (The Pok\xe9mon in the front of your party). Cleanse Tags act as permanent Repels, stopping wild Pok\xe9mon that are a lower level than your Lead from appearing. If you don't have a Cleanse Tag, stock up on Repels, Super Repels or Max Repels.MISTAKES YOU SHOULD BE AVOIDING WHEN LANING IN POKEMON UNITE!! IMPROVE YOUR EARLY GAME
