The random encounter group table determines all the possible random battles. Whenever a random encounter starts, a random byte out of the appropriate group of 16 is picked. If it is 0, another byte is picked until a nonzero one is found; in this way there may be fewer than 16 possible battles. The byte refers not to an enemy, but to an enemy group.
