 * Only enemies on the field will drop items; the player can use the First, Spin and Bump Attack badges to automatically defeat them and still get items from them.
 * If the enemy only appears in special battles that cannot yield coins or items (such as bosses), or it is never present outside of battle, then this category will be listed as "N/A". If the enemy doesn't give items, but still appears in battles that can yield coins, then "None" will be listed.
 * Run: The number of button presses required with to get a guaranteed run from the enemy.
 * If an enemy is asleep, dizzy, paralyzed or immobilized, the player does not need to press and will always flee from them successfully.
 * With multiple enemies on the field, the amount of button presses for a guaranteed flee is the average of all enemies' run rates.

Note: Some of these enemies are variations of a single enemy, were fought in a grouped battle, or had several battles where the enemy had a different stat-spread or form. For convenience, these variations are listed as separate enemies.
