Tips: Keep an eye on the weather in the game! If you're hunting for a specific Pokémon, checking the forecast for Rolling Fields can save you a ton of time. For example, if you really need a Diglett, you'll have the best luck on a dirt path when it's clear, raining, thunderstorming, snowing, or during a sandstorm, as they appear 80% of the time in those conditions. On the flip side, if you're looking for a Ralts, you'll want to wait for Overcast or Heavy Fog conditions, as they only show up in grass patches with a 2% chance normally, but jump to 60% or 25% in those specific weather types. Remember that some Pokémon, like Vulpix and Growlithe, are version exclusive and only appear during Intense Sun!
