Encounters

Random battles start after you have taken a few steps in an area (see Combat). Which monster you meet depends on where you are.

Overland

On the world map, the monsters depend on your level. As you grow stronger, weaker monsters drop out and tougher ones join in. Each percentage is the share of battles at that level.
