For example, a grassland route during a sunny day in spring is filled with Bug, Grass, Fairy, Flying, and Normal Pokémon, all low-level Pokémon. That same route at night during winter is filled with high-level Lycanroc packs. The same thing happens in different areas; higher-level Pokémon appear near beaches, rivers, and lakes when it rains.
The point is to force the player to plan their routes if they want to play it safe, or if they want a challenge, take the path with more obstacles.
