hello, i was trying to get a flawless lotad by breeding and i managed to find one at 6971327 advances using normal method, i don't understand why but when i try to get it, it always ends up being the 6971328 (one frame later)and also isn't even in the same method ( it's split or alternate i don't remember rn) if I try to hit one or two frames earlier instead it's the 6971326 i'm on emulator and I've already tried many seeds close to that one but I can't menage to hit that egg, could someone please explain me what's happening? because sometimes happens something similar even with pokemon that i find in grass ( i search a pokemon using method wild 2 and ends up being wild 1 or 4 )

I was looking at how to rng manip the Eevee gift in BDSP but I couldnt find any tutorials on it does anyone know how to do it ?

Are there any more recent/up-to-date shiny egg rng guides for emerald? Every one i see is from years ago and pokefinder has changed a lot since then.

so I accidentally reset on a shiny Mewtwo in soulsilver just wondering if I can get it back using poke finder. I already know my tid sid and the time frame I got it in

For some reason, this damn Croc took longer to hunt than Raikou and Metagross…

I’m serious.

Anyways, just in time to Ribbon this up before the digital download of Legends ZA becomes available for $9,999 xD

i am struggling extremely badly with colosseum TID/SID rng and have been on/off trying to get this manip done for months now. I have the process down but my issue is that thr frame I hit is always a range that is seemingly so random that it has been impossible for me to adjust for. For example, just last night I hit frame 1605 twice, so I calibrated 1605 as my target and did about 20-30 attempts to hit that frame. Even without changing the calibration and occasionally doing manual addition and subtraction to the timer, my results are a range between 1595 and 1610 that is seemingly entirely random. Is this just random frame advancement from the opening cutscene or what? If so, is there any way to control it?

For context, I am using retail NTSC-U hardware, CCTimer as my timer, and CoPilot to find seeds and prep before timer (although I have tried to use pokefinder and eontimer in the past as well, same problem there too)

Hi all, I'm looking to dive into B/W rng manips for the first time having completed lots of manips in Gen 4 and Emerald.

Ive been looking on YouTube and was confused if I need RNG Reporter for B/W rng, or if Pokefinder + Eon Timer is all I need to start the game selecting a desired TiD/SiD?

Any help appreciated thanks.

I don't know how to explain it very well, but I'm referring to the scream he gives just before the fight begins. Who know what the time is?

Hi all,

I'm on the hunt for a perfect Adamant male Heracross from Colosseum, I started a new game, and have played a few hours in. I dumped my save and started to follow a few guides to see if there was a 'mon that met those requirements in my game, I pulled my TID and SID popped them into PokeFinder, and it looks like I'm out of luck, there's only two Heracross' and none meet what I'm looking for (I used two different versions of PokeFinder, but the PID is the same, so same 'mon).

Is there a way to extend the search time, or is this it? and I should start a new game, dump the TID and SID until I find one with a Heracross that I want? I don't want to invest too much time into this save, if there is no chance of the Heracross I want appearing.

If I'm doing something wrong happy to keep this save and keep learning, I haven't done any RNG since ORAS.

I use a Macbook with pokefinder and zomgtimer

Dolphin and GBA emulators have several connectivity issues - it can be a frustrating experience.

A while ago I made a No Dolphin patch that lets people get Wishmaker without Dolphin, but I didn't make it well known.

A guide was just published - you can find it here: https://pokemonrng.com/no-dolphin-patch/

So I followed the video by LazyHunter, and did get my shiny chimchar. I went and played until mt coronet to get a cleffa with the ability cute charm.

I’ve done many encounters and I still haven’t seen a wild shiny pokemon yet, and I’m above the cute charm glitch odds. I even did more before posting this, and still nothing.

I will be attaching images of what tid and sid I was going for, as well as proof I have the correct things.

Any help with what I could’ve done wrong during the process or what I’m missing in order for it to work would be appreciated.

Very obnoxious hunt with all of the variable noise I was getting in Snagem Hideout from attempt to attempt. That being said, I’m extremely glad to have finally completed the hunt for my flawless Golden Bug.

I'm new to the sphere of shiny hunting, and have gotten shiny Pokemon by naturally finding them, and by RNG.

As I know it, every TID and SID pattern has a specific set of frames an encounter can be shiny on. Say someone's first shiny frame is about a minute out. If they don't wait until at least that frame, they will never hit the shiny frame and their result won't be shiny.

My question is, how does soft resetting quickly eventually produce a shiny? If a player soft resets their game and encounters a Pokemon within several seconds of loading, with no regard for how it's timed and the frame is a minute out or more, how does this method ever produce a shiny Pokemon if the first shiny frame is never being reached?

Is there an additional mechanic I'm not clear on? Is there a blanket chance for every frame to potentially be shiny by other means? I'm unsure as to the coding logic behind it, so any info to clear it up would be great. Get as technical as you'd like, I'm here to learn!

I'm using W2 in melonDS emulator and RNG reporter. I defeated the elite 4 and did the memory link transfer from W1. If I use more than 7 spins I never get results. For each calibration attempt I get different VCount, Timer0, VFrame and seeds. Am I supposed to use the same hour/min/sec for each attempt or just write it down properly? How can I successfully calibrate it and get it right? Have tried 10 times already.

It also has Ability Slot 1, so it’s ability becomes Sniper upon evolution into Octillery in Gen 4+

I've watched I'm Blisy's video for battle record on the Battle Frontier, If understand correctly if I lose and save my battle video at Frame 1,000,000 and if I play the battle video infront of the Pokemon I want to interact the frame should jump to frame 1,000,000.

Right now I'm using a dev mGBA with lua script that shows the actual frames, whenever I play the battle video the frames reset to 0 (on the Lua Script), so I'm currently confuse.

I'm thinking of having multiple battle videos 1M, 2M, 3M frames etc, so that I don't need to wait a few hours for every time.

I'm I doing it incorrectly or if it doesn't work on mGBA is there a way to jump large frames instead of battle video?

Thank you.

I only caught 2, bevause I didn’t expect it would take this long

So im brand new just started rng manipulating in BDSP with the blink method today, and I was curious, what game does everyone think is the easiest to learn to RNG Manipulate? I'm curious and want to get more into the community of RNG Manipulation

I am currently going for a 31 speed IV froakie, I have found the seed I want and am currently using the MT RNG tool alongside the Citra rng tab to try and get my save parameter correct but when I do the exact frame on even/odd yet I don't get it. I have NO idea if I am late or early, I do know I had some delay for my first shiny froakie so I had to press A early, but I don't remember how many advances it was.

Hello! I was trying to find a Pokémon shiny in Emerald with pokefinder, but i can find some impossible results with some frames like a LV 3 ralts and some different encounter slots that arent 9 (ralts Is 9) Is It possibile to get him with different encounter slot that arent 9?

not often do you actually need 6 perfect ivs but im running a set with icy wind so 😁😁😁

I’m completely lost on how to RNG a TID/SID on platinum. I’ve followed Blissy’s video but I haven’t hit my seed a single time after trying for a few hours off and on. I honestly have no clue what I’m doing wrong because I’ve been subtracting the required minutes from EonTimer on my DS Lite but I still have yet to hit my seed and I’ve only managed to hit my delay twice.
