Clean up Sword/Shield encounter data: wild Pokemon incorrectly listed as gifts in-progress bug normal 2026-02-14T19:56:12Z 2026-02-14T21:14:38Z

Problem

In the Sword and Shield seed data, wild Pokemon on almost all encounter locations are also duplicated as gift encounters. This appears to be an issue with the PokeDB export process.

Goal

Investigate why the PokeDB export produced duplicate gift entries for wild encounters, then clean up the data so that only genuine gifts are listed as gifts.

Findings

The PokeDB export duplicated walk encounters as gift encounters on 6 locations in each game. The affected locations were: Route 1 (Galar), Galar Mine, Motostoke Outskirts, Route 6 (Galar), Glimwood Tangle, and Route 7 (Galar). Route 6 also had legitimate fossil gifts (Arctovish, Arctozolt, Dracovish, Dracozolt) which were preserved.

Checklist

  • Investigate the PokeDB export logic to understand why wild Pokemon are being duplicated as gifts
  • Identify which encounters are legitimately gifts vs incorrectly tagged
  • Remove erroneous gift entries from Sword seed data (39 removed)
  • Remove erroneous gift entries from Shield seed data (40 removed)
  • Verify remaining gift encounters are accurate
