I'm thinking about doing a shiny only run in one of my Pokemon games, and I've narrowed it down to two, but I don't know which one to play. So, between bdsp and legends(plus swsh,scvl,letsgo) which one should I do a shiny only run in? I'm conflicted because, legends is easier to get shinies in and there's a guaranteed shiny rapidash near the beginning, but bdsp doesn't have shiny locks so I can use both my starter and any legendary or mythical I get. Which one should I choose?

Can someone help me about shiny rnging suicune in fire red? Is it a static or a wild encounter and how does it work? I have some experience in RNGing gen 3 especialy fire red but this one confuses me.

I have my SID and TID already thanks to PKHex access. Does anyone have a specific guide on hunting the starter if I already know both right away? It seems most of the guides seem to focus on finding the SID first and then it gets confusing.

I've been trying to RNG a female Dragonite from the hidden grotto on route 18 for weeks now and I'm starting to lose my mind. I'm using a retail cartridge of Black 2 on a DS Lite. I've successfully done other RNG in this game on this system but I just can't get the grotto to work!

Has anyone had success with hidden grotto RNG who can share some advice?

I have...

• Calibrated multiple times to find my most common timer0's - unfortunately I have a wide range of them but 3 of them show up quite consistently. I've done over 100 calibration tests using the Unova link method.
• Triple checked that I have no pokemon in the day care
• Checked every single other grotto multiple times to ensure they are all populated
• I'm using slot 0, sub slot 0, 1, 2, and 3, gender F, and gender ratio 10% as the settings on RNG reporter. There is an image below of my settings with the seed I've attempted the most highlighted. I've hit this exact seed many times while doing calibration using the Unova link method.
• I've attempted to go for multiple different seeds, each with around 100 attempts before moving on to a new seed just in case a seed was incorrect for whatever reason

Hi. Can I use Blissys hgss gift pokemon rng video to get a shiny tyrogue egg from the dojo master? Or does that use a different method?

It’s PID originally had Run Away as it’s GameCube ability… however, because I was confident in correctly doing the manip, I purposely lost the battle AFTER the trainer sent the Dunsparce out, and immediately saved the game.

The reason for this is because with re-encounters with Shadow Pokémon that already have their Nature + IV’s locked in, if they possess more than 1 ability… the ability can oddly be soft reset for! Thus, after 3 resets from re-encountering my Dunsparce, I finally got it with Serene Grace instead of Run Away.

Hey guys, pretty new to RNG manipulation. As the title says, my battery is dry, how do I account for those extra screens while soft resetting? Is it necessary to adjust?

I am trying to hit a TID for Ruby/Sapphire but I can't find the frame I hit from time to time because either the Eon timer can't calibrate correctly or the Pokefinder can't find the advance I hit. Any advice would be amazing

TIA

And this is what I mean, tried one more time just to get a photo

Each attempt after calibration was between 2-4 hours long, but was ultimately captured after about 20 hours total.

I am trying to set up RunAsDate to run pokemon platinum on the Desmume emulator at a certain time, which will allow me to do the cute charm glitch, among other things. To do this, I have a desmume shortcut set up to open pokemon platinum when it boots. It does this fine. However, when I have RunAsDate run this shortcut, it doesn't boot platinum up automatically. It works if I enter it in manually, it just isn't automatic, so I'd still be losing precious time. If anyone has done this sort of thing before to rng platinum via an emulator, please let me know how you did it.

I feel like any time I see people try and RNG the trainers in Pyrite or the starter in Phenac they always use a timer, but couldn't you just pause in front of the trainer and calibrate your seed with blinks and just unpause and spam A? I feel like I must be missing something, like, I understand that the RNG is still very noisy and it's still going to be inconsistent, but I feel like it has to be more consistent than just leaving a building with a timer and praying to hit the right frame.

Also CoPilot needs an auto blink recorder like we have for BDSP lol

Hi, I hope you are having a good day/night

Recently, I bought a Japanese copy of Pokemon White 1 with the intent of doing RNG manipulation since I had never done it before. I was able to RNG a shiny Tepig quite easily and now my next target is the Zekrom in N's castle. I have a problem with the Chatot I am using however. I have been unable to hear my recorded chatter for it to determine what advance I am on. I have tried recording it on multiple systems and cannot get the recording to audibly record a sound. I understand that frames will advance regardless of what the recorded chatter is but I would still like to hear it to better keep track of where I am. Does anybody know how to resolve this issue? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

The Chatot I currently have is the traded one from Eterna City in dppt. If I need to get a different one that's fine too.

Edit: I got it working I got a different Chatot from another Gen 5 game and recording chatter just worked this time. No idea why

First, I'm getting setup and im about 10 frames late every time so I increased A delay to 123 instead of the 133 from papa jefe. So im working on encountering it.

Can anyone offer some tips? Also can anyone spare a masterball?

Edit: I'm on Brilliant Diamond.

Hey guys

I'm making some genned pokemon and I would like to know how to find out my secret id so that I can put my id on my genned pokemon. My Trainer ID is 638195. Can anyone tell me what my secret id is and how to get it?

Hey,

I'm trying to set up a profile in RNG reporter for pokemon White and I have all the data except SID, which prevent me to create the profile. But most of places I have looked seem to tell that SID is only necessary for shiny generation which doesn't interest me (I want 6 31 IV pokemon). Did I have misunderstood something ? If not, how can I set up a profile in RNG reporter ? Finding the SID seems quite a pain, so I would be glad to not have to do it.

Hi I'm new with RNG manip and I wanted to try a wild shiny in emerald, since it seemed like the easiest method. but ehn I'm looking for a shiny encounter in PKfinder it only shows me 1 result (compared to multiple results in tutorials I've watched) and it shows me a very high "advances" which means I'm waiting like 7 miinutes to actually get a chance to hit the frame AND it shows me the exact same advances on any route if I look for a shiny. Is all this normal? am I stuck with waiting 7 minutes all the time if i want to rng a shiny here??

Is there any way to look up the SID by reverse looking up from a frame number? I accidentally erased the secret ID in Pokefinder and can’t remember it. Thanks.

So I was rng a perfect IV scyther on route 210 south, I was able to align everything but when I used sweet scent a Geodude appeared instead, I used encounter slots 2 & 6 which according to a spreasheet is scyther. I also checked the geodude's IVs and they were the ones I wanted for scyther. What did I do wrong here?

Looking to rng eevee in white two, is it the same a normal rng? Others than switching the encounter type to dark grass, also how do you check to make sure you got the right frame/seed when you get a double encounter

Hey guys was wondering if it is possible to rng manipulate the gen 1 starters the professor gives you after battling him? Trying to get a shiny charmander!

I am doing wild rng in Viridian forrest and have hit my target three times. Unfortunately I keep hitting method 4 so the ivs are wrong. Any advice on if I should adjust my timer, change targets, or just keep grinding until I hit method 1?

My capture card came in today and wanted to start finding my seed i have a gulikit 3 turbo controller and I am trying to figure out how record the attack animations. Detailed guide would be much appreciated I saw papa jefe do it but can’t find the youtube channel jengablocks that showed him the program that lets him record attacks and frame advancements

Searching for a shiny azurill, I think there is npcs near by, I’m in the top right of floccesy ranch. Idk if I’m missing my timer 0 or if the npc are just messing up my frame for the chatot pitch. I was able to get my shiny starter so I don’t think my timer calibration is off. So when npc are near by do you start at a different frame or how do you account for them?
