RNG abuse, also referred to as RNG manipulation, is a procedure that manipulates the pseudo-random number generator in the main series games to obtain a desired Pokemon. It is commonly used to obtain shiny Pokemon or Pokemon with high Individual Values or IVs.
RNG abuse is a series of techniques that allow you to manipulate the game's internal random number generator in order to obtain the perfect Pokémon. This allows you to get shinies, eggs, or event Pokemon with perfect IVs.

I've been trying to blink azelf for 2 days, with 85/86 delay but I can't seem to understand if I'm messing up the positioning once I get to it or I'm just wrong with the timing.
am I supposed to be perfectly straight with azelf for the 85/86 delay?
If I talk to it to the side, does the delay change ?
I'll try to catch it to check if I'm late or early on the a-press, if so, how should I change it accordingly ?
How come RNGReporter isn’t accurate with IVs in breeding compared to PokéFinder? RNGReporter has been great for everything else to me.
Question. I already saved after I interacted with the tv. So I no longer get the dialogue box saying that there is a roaming Pokémon. Is it still possible to rng manipulate the shiny roaming in ruby/saphire if I no longer get those dialogue boxes?
How does Crystal RNG work on VC (3DS)? Is there any way to manipulate it? Also, does anyone know if the RNG works similar to Emerald where the ring list resets every time you soft reset and counts upwards using the same list?
Do i only need a pomeg berry egg to attempt the glitch that allows you to hatch whatever pokemon you want? Like hatching Kanto starters or something?
Hey, I’m trying to see if there is a way to RNG manipulate on your phone or either through a modded 3ds. Any help is appreciated. Doing this for ultra sun.
I’m going for a shiny Deino 31/0/31/31/31/31 modest nature. I chose the bottom seed because the attack wasn’t inherited (which might not even be necessary thinking about it) and hatched my shiny Deino. I don’t have enough rare candies to see exactly what it’s IVs are but the judge tells me it only has perfect HP, SpA, SpD, and speed while missing the perfect defense. I selected everstone which was held by the father because he had the nature and egg move I wanted, and made sure I selected the ditto parent too. The ditto has 6 IVs and the deino has 5. I don’t remember exactly what its attack was. Any reason why the defense isn’t perfect?
Did this on an Analogue pocket for any of the pocket fans out there. Using I’m a blisys guide.
title, there are like 2 or 3 frames and I don't know which is the one where i should time the clicking
I followed imablisys video but used a different id that was on the proper date I got the id and did the pattern right but still no shiny cyndaquil what am I doing wrong
I was aiming for a Thundurus with perfect HP, SpA, and Speed for my first attempt for rnging a roamer. I didn’t RNG my ID before this or else it would be perfect. For my first attempt I saw where I was landing, adjusted accordingly and couldn’t hit the shiny frame because of sticky frames. So I tried another seed. First encounter was to see about where I would land and hit the shiny frame by complete accident. Turns out my shiny frame was sticky and I landed close enough to it first try!
I started a playthrough of Colosseum already and don't necessarily want to start over again unless there is no other choice. So, I want wondering if it is possible to find out my SID without starting over? Just to make as well, the PID is the ID number displayed in the game right?
When using Pcalc, it was possible to connect it via NTR to 3dsrngtool and TinyFinder. Is there also a way to do that with Pokereader? It seems to be superior in every way but I haven't found a way to connect it which would be a huge disadvantage when trying wild rng.
I've been looking for ways to RNG Manipulate my Trainer ID with my secret id
So I was looking to RNG a specific iv spread for heatran in platnium, but when I rng’d the id, i enter it into rng reporter and it doesnt say the spread I chose was shiny, even though i entered everything into pandora’s box correctly, anyone know what could be wrong?
Hi guys, I’m having some trouble installing a plugin for poke reader for my 3ds. I don’t really understand the problem. I put the plugin in luma/ plugins. But the plugin won’t pop up and will eventually crash my X if I press the home button. Anything I’m doing wrong? Maybe it’s simple and I’m missing it. Should I put it with my titles ? I’m lost here and some help would be appreciated. And if it’s any consolation my 3ds is Japanese but my x copy is English. yes it still plays regardless of the region because it’s homebrew’d
I am playing Pokemon emerald on an everdrive X5 mini. I am having such a hard time looking for a shiny Feebas using poke finder and eon timer. It seems every time I catch something it’s not shown on any of the frames in poke finder. Is there something I could be messing up that can cause this? I got my SID using an online tool since I’m on Mac.
For example. I caught a level 5 Magikarp using the old rod and a lax kirlia with synchronization. I cannot find a Magikarp that matches the IVs or stats of any of the ones I’ve caught. Same with carvannah and tentacool when using the good rod.
I’ve tried using im a blisey’s method of finding my secret id, but I can’t seem to make it work I wasted so many hours resetting and trying various id’s to find the secret one, but I haven’t found it. I know you can use PKHeX to find it, but I don’t know how. Can someone please me?
If I don’t care about the IVs of my shiny Thundurus and I hit a sticky frame for it’s shiny, then could I just try for another shiny Thundurus frame? And is the sticky frame always the same no matter what the advancement, or is it like a frame that affects just the 3ish frames around it? Thank you for any clarification!
Ok I’m trying to learn how to do this rng manipulation to get a shiny quilava. First issue Iv hit is it takes hours to search for initial seed. Is there something I can do to speed it up?
So just like the title says, I want to try this very specific run for my HG and SS. I want to do a run on both games with the same teams from the manga Pokemon Adventures Gold&Silver. To do that I have to get the exact nature/characteristic/gender for the pokemons that i get on the run.
Now I need help on the use of rng manipulation. I know the sid and tid using pokehex. I got an eon timer and pokefinder but I dont know how it works on gen 4. I did it with gen 3 but never on gen 4. Can someone link me to a video that talks about how to rng manipulate the pokemon I want? Or methods of how im supposed to do it. Thx
I want to have a custom TID and SID to get the cute charm glitch working and generating a square jolly shiny female (any gender ratio) while I'm at it and I actually found a combo I'd like to do:
TID: 65535 SID: 65522 Seed: 89140057
Problem is, the delay is of 65623 and I actually feel pretty confident landing 20+ minute wait times but the "Seed to Time" function in both RNG Reporter and Pokefinder give dates with a delay of 87 in the year 2000 (which makes sense, it's 65623 - 65536 so it has to be rolling over).
Is it possible to hit this seed? How should I configure Eon Timer if it is?
[UPDATE]
IT IS POSSIBLE!
I just hit my target seed! here's what I had to do if you people need to hit a very early seed too:
I found out that dialing back an hour adds 65535 to the necessary delay for the Eon Timer, so taking the date and time the "Seed to Time" function gave me:
02/28/2024 20:58:23 (I chose 23 seconds)
I just needed to take one hour from it and set the full 65623 delay on the Eon Timer, which said I had 19 minutes before my target. With that information I changed my date and time to the following:
02/28/2024 19:39:00
And then proceeded as normal, waiting ~19 minutes on each attempt. It seems you can use this method to hit seeds with any delay as long as you're confident in hitting the timing after waiting 19 minutes as maximum, so I wouldn't recommend this to first timers.
For anyone who has my same issue, good luck! it took me 18 tries!
I have been at this a few hours of frustration. I know that in the distortion world the advances begin at 11 just loading up the game. I learned that from other posts. This means a recommended advances in Pokefinder would be 12 if I have no chatots as that means loading it up and talking to Giratina should be 12 Advances if I understand things right.
I have confirmed through coinflips that I hit the seed and that means I should be good to click on Giratina and have a shiny but Giratina is not shiny. Am I misunderstanding the way the advances work in the distortion world from misunderstanding other posts or is it possible that your journal entry actually changes your advances?
Let me know if I am missing anything. I am able to hit my seed pretty consistently if I could figure out why the seed isn't working.
Quick edit: I am using a DS lite and playing Platinum.
Little confused on how I'm supposed to use the results from the searcher functionality. I know my TID and SID, and search after setting all the filters (method, lead, location, iv's, shiny, etc.), and then get the list with seeds and PIDs.
Been trying to figure out how to use either of those two for the generator, but can't find anything definitive. I've seen some say use the seed in the seed-to-time tool, then get the shortened 4 character seed, but I thought emerald needs to keep seed 0? Also seen using the PID to decide what the TID/SID should be, but the IDs tool doesn't seem to work either? Using the SID it gives me for the PID just tells me 0 advances for the pokemon I'm trying to find.
Any help would be appreciated
Hello everyone, I'm messing around with shaking grass encounters and was wondering if anyone knew the average amount of PID frame advancements per step I take or even every 20 steps?
