Description

In Gen III RSE games, you can record mix to cause pokemon to appear in areas they weren't before. https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mass_outbreak#Generation_III

Probably needs to be encounters added with a "record mixing" condition type added to account for this.

Research direction

Start by tracing how encounter data and condition types are represented in the PokeAPI repository, then compare the requested Gen III RSE behavior with the linked Bulbapedia reference. Done means the relevant swarm encounters are represented and record mixing is supported as an encounter condition without breaking existing encounter behavior.
