  A.                              Introduction                                 
===============================================================================

Hello Everybody, and welcome to another one of my FAQs. This FAQ will tell you
everything you could possibly need to know about Poke Spots. It will tell you
which pokemon you can catch at each spot, what events occur, and how to catch
Pokemon at Poke Spots for those of you new to them. I hope you enjoy this FAQ
and if you have any questions please email me using the email address provided
at the end of the FAQ. If there is a certain section of the FAQ you would like
to look at, press Ctrl + F on the keyboard and search for the section you want
provided in the Table Of Contents. Thank you for reading and enjoy!

  B.                              About Poke Spots 
===============================================================================

Unlike Pokemon Collosuem, XD allows you to actually catch pokemon! While there
isn't very many pokemon that can be cauht, it is a nice change from Collosuem.
The places where you can catch Pokemon are called Poke Spots. There is three
Poke Spots. Rock Poke Spot, Oasis Poke Spot, and Cave Poke Spot. They were
discovered by Duking. (Thank you Duking, for these wonderful little places!)

===============================================================================
  C.                              Rock Poke Spot 
===============================================================================
(Item Checklist: 10 Poke Snacks, Spot Monitor)

When you first arrive here at the Rock Poke Spot, you'll see Duking in an
interview with a Reporter. Duking will ask you to join the interview and hand
you 10 Poke Snacks to demonstrate how they work. Set a few of them on the stone
circle behind you. Once you do that Duking will give you the PDA attachment
Spot Monior. Before Duking leaves, he will mark the Oasis Poke Spot on your
map.

To cath Pokemon at the Poke Spots, you will need to leave Poke Snacks on the
tray in the center of a Poke Spot. The Spot Monitor allows you to keep tabs on 
each Poke Spot as you continue along your journey. The monitor will alert
you when a Pokemon shows up at a Poke Spot. If the signal is slow, it means a
common Pokemon has shown up. If it's faster, it means a rare Pokemon has shown
up. How many Snacks you left for the Pokemon will determine how long it will
wait for you, so you'd best hurry! 

The list below shows each Pokemon that can be caught at the Rock Poke Spot.
Including their Type,(Normal, Ground etc.) and their Rarity, evolved forms
which they change into after gaining levels, by using stones on them,(Water
Stone, Fire Stone etc.) or by leveling up when friendly to the trainer or
holding certain held items when leveling up:

If you run out of Poke Snacks, don't worry about it. You can always buy more
of them at any Poke Mart in the Orre Region.

+--------------+--------------+--------------+-------------+-------------+

When you first enter the Cave Poke Spot, you'll see Trudly and Folly. 
Shortly afterwards, Miror B will show up, and it's time to fight!

+============================================+===========================+
|  BOSS BATTLE: WANDERER MIROR B/Pokemon: Three Lombres at Lvl 17, Shadow|
|  PokemoN: Voltorb, Lvl 20.                                             |
+==============+==============+==============+===========================+
| One notable thing about Miror B is that he has 3 Lombres, which are    |
| Grass-and-Water-type. They have Rain Dance, a Water-type move to power |
| their Water-type moves, and Mega Drain, a Grass-type move to absorb    |
| their opponents HP and heal themselves. You can use a Grass-type Poke- |
| yourself to absorb their Grass-and-Water-type moves. Or you can use a  |
| or a Flying type Pokemon and they're both strong Defensively and Of-   |
| fensesively against Grass Pokemon. Don't forget to snag his Shadow     |
| Pokemon Voltorb, which will be a very nice addition to your team!      |
==========================================================================

After you beat Miror B, Folly and Trudly will run away and drop their Miror
Radar. This device works pretty much like the Shadow Monitor, except it
alerts you when Miror B has been spotted in a certain area! When the Miror B
symbol appears, go to Key Items in your inventory and see where Miror B's
locaton is!

He normally visits places or battles. So when you enter the location it
says he's at, head for the Collosuem. If Fudly and Trolly are there, you
are at the right place.

===============================================================================
 F.                       The Munchlax Encounter!        
===============================================================================
(Item Checklist: Herbal-type Medicine, 10 Poke Snacks)

Sometimes when your Spot Monitor goes off, you'll head to the Poke Spot and En-
counter Munchlax.(whom my girlfriend says is adorably cute) You can't catch
Munchlax, but keep it busy until it's owner appears. Once the owner appears,
you'll find out it's the Herbal Shop Owner's Pokemon. She'll apologize for
Munchlax eating up your Poke Snacks and give you 10 Poke Snacks and a free
sample of Herbal medicine. Her shop is now-open in Gateon Port! And yes,
you guessed it, Munchlax is the pre-evovled form of Snorlax.(Snorlax has gotta
be the most boring damn Pokemon ever)

===============================================================================
 G.                       The Bonsly Encounter        
===============================================================================
(Item Checklist: Leftovers, Bonsly Card)

When on the S.S. Libra, you'll encounter Bonsly, the pre-evovled form of
Bonsly. You'll want to approach it slowly by applying little pressure to the
control stick very slowly and sneak up behind it. But just when you are about
to catch it your PDA will sound and scare it off, but it will leave behind
Leftovers.

After you encounter it at S.S. Libra there is a chance you'll encounter it
again at a Poke Spot like you did with Munchlax. Once you've encountered it
again, you'll have to approach it slowly like you did on the S.S. Libra. Once
you've caught it, it's owner will appear and reward you with the Bonsly Card
which can be used for Battle Bingo in Realgam Tower!
