Fixed [0.31.1] Cave Surfing Encounters

[Ashnazgul15]

I noticed this while surfing in both Union Cave and Dark Cave. While surfing in the water, you can encounter pokemon from the land while on the water, such as Geodudes and the like.

You can still encounter pokemon exclusive to surfing, so its not like the encounter tables are the same.

In addition, the battle background is that of the normal cave interior while battle on water in caves. I'm not sure if this is really a bug or intended, buts its a little weird seeing a Magikarp fight out of water.

the battle locations are set up on a different map seperate from the overworld, i believe this is just the battle map for all cave encounters. in time they'll differentiate the maps for land and water, but for now you'll have to see magikarp splash around.

Actually, I don't think this is strictly true.

While on Route 35, I was surfing and encountered a Golduck. The battle map used the water location similar to encounters on Route 40 and 41 instead of the standard land battle maps for that route.

Unless I didn't quite understand what you meant, which tends to happen a lot

what i meant is that the battles don't exist in the overworld per se, but exist in small maps created just for battling in, with each new update increasing the Map, there might not have been time put in to creating the smaller battle maps for each location, so they call to previously created maps for battles instead.

again i can't confirm this so i'll ask Darkfire

There is a default map for land battles and a default battle for surfing battles
the surfing battle stuff is new so not all of the defaults got switched over including trainer battles and cave battles
there is only one surfing battle map
