Headbutt Trees In the original games, Gold & Silver, there were a variety of small trees dotted around Kanto & Johto in which you can use the move Headbutt to shake the tree and a wild Pokémon may come out. This makes a return in HeartGold & SoulSilver. However, it returns with a change. In these games, every single tree is a prospective Headbutt Tree. However, if you headbutt a tree and it does not cause a wild Pokémon to attack, then this tree will never have any Pokémon on it. If the tree does have a Pokémon come out, this tree will always have a wild Pokémon encounter when you headbutt it |

Hoenn & Sinnoh Pokémon In Johto, there are a variety of trees that will also yeild some Hoenn & Sinnoh Pokémon. These trees are always out of the way and usually up a Rock Climb cliff, preventing you from getting to it until you have the National Dex. These Pokémon are restricted to those trees only, making them incredibly rare. In Kanto, the Hoenn & Sinnoh Pokémon are more widespread and can be found on any tree in their respective routes. |
