Route 2 (south, towards Viridian City)
Where?
Between Viridian City and Pewter City, split by Viridian Forest. The first grass on the Viridian side is just to the right after you enter the route from the town; on the Pewter side, it's on the left shortly above the entrance to Viridian Forest.
How to read this table
The bolded horizontal headings stand for the main condition that affects the following slots; the big cells on the left side describe which circumstances must apply for the rows they span to be active. The percentages tell you the chance of a Pokémon from this slot (row) appearing for any given wild encounter, provided the condition on the left holds. Each condition (i.e. each bolded horizontal heading) always has the same number of slots actually active.
If all this confuses you, and I don't blame you, just set the conditions in the form above to what actually applies for you right now, which will hide all the inactive slots and leave only the Pokémon you're actually going to be seeing. This will also recalculate the statistics at the bottom of the table accordingly.
