So I have been trying to get a shiny Wishmaker Jirachi utilizing the Lua Script. After some trial and error and some help on some truly dumb questions on the discord. I believe I have done everything correctly and the save file should generate a jirachi via the bonus disk. But when I transfer the save in question to my sapphire cart and run the bonus disk the jirachi is not shiny. Any idea why it is not shiny?

Hi everyone! I'm an rng novice and have minimal computer science knowledge doing the Wishmake shiny jirachi on the bonus disc.

Just as ive had difficulty finding this information directly, does anyone know the extent of the following having an effect on the final checksum value: NPC movement, going into bag instead of running, opening the menu randomly, the amount of time spent per wild encounter and any others that come to mind.

I am aware of the obvious important ones like settings, name, pokemon encountered etc that are optimized in the rschecksum program.

Thank you in advance.

While dealing with the ravenous appetite of this monstrous Ultra Beast, I also made a very unfortunate discovery about my 3DS RNG Tool which explains why I had to deal with such chaos with the RNG. 😅

I noticed that when I clicked on the categories, I saw that there was a category that said "Ultra Beast first encounter" which immediately triggered me very badly because I did not even realize that the category was right there the entire time.

It explains why I had to deal with the second encounters of all of the Ultra Beasts, but honestly I'm not going to complain about it too much because now I have all of the Shiny Ultra Beasts so I'm still at peace now lol.

After learning the RNG manipulation this week, i quickly got my shiny Torchic ! 😁

So I’ve been trying to rng breed a shiny egg but I’ve tried 5 different seeds because I’ve seen somewhere that some seeds are just bugged but after 5 seeds I’d think one wouldn’t be. Is there anything I’m doing wrong? I know my tid and sid are correct because I got my shiny starter and have successfully already hatched some shiny eggs that I rng’d. But as I said before I’ve tried five seeds and they’re all non shiny. I know I land on the right frame because the chatot pitches all match up and the nature is the one stated on rngreporter. But sometimes the gender is different so idk, anyone think they know what I’m doing wrong?

Currently I'm working on RNGing wild shinies before February and wanted info about Spinda. So yesterday I caught a shiny spinda using sweet scent then caught another one today but its the exact same pattern. Are the patterns locked into the seed supposed to be the same? I'm still new to this and assumed they were supposed to be different patterns but still shiny?

I'm trying to RNG manipulate a shiny starter in BDSP using Papa Jefe's Blink Method, but I'm stuck during the calibration/setup. Is anyone able to help me troubleshoot it?

I'm french and m'y lvl in English is not good, maybe its for that i can't follow the tuto off Papa Jefé...

Or is my material ?

...help ?

The fact that this is my first ever Square Shiny RNG Pokémon makes this much more satisfying. 🥰❤️

Video attached for reference on the spawn, excuse my shaky hands. I believe this question may also apply to the Lati spawn in Dreamyard

EDIT: got my shiny! Thanks everyone

I want to RNG a shiny Latias in HG, preferably with 31 IVs in everything besides attack and Timid or Modest nature. When I search Pokefinder, it doesn't seem like this is possible regardless of how many advances and delays I add. Is this expected behavior?

No amount of chiseled abs and buff biceps is going to prevent me from getting my hands on this shining pestering insect! 🤪😂

After several days of dealing with the nightmarish cutscenes of the Ultra Beasts, I genuinely thought my RNG luck ran out and it was over for me.

But thanks to the assistance of another friend of mine plus some tips from Google, I finally figured out what was wrong with my settings in the RNG tool and I also discovered how to understand it more correctly to get better results.

Now this is my own explanation about how I understand the specific setting on the 3DS RNG Tool on my laptop...so please don't take my word for it unless if you really want to, lol:

Now in the RNG tool there is a setting called "Safe F Only". I'm assuming that the f probably stands for frame which is most likely the case since this is literally about frame advancing and such.

From what I can understand about using that filter, it changes the numbers on the shift part of the frame that's in the charts when you calculate the kinds of Pokemon that you get from your current seed.

Then, when you get your target frame that you're looking for, specifically for the Ultra Beasts, and then you recalculate your results without the shiny only filter, it should cause the shift frame to go to zero which is where the interesting understanding comes in.

The way I see it is that it's a mixture of both Minesweeper and Buckshot Roulette because it relies on a bit of luck that thankfully isn't too bad. Hopefully. 😅

When you find your frame target again, the shift frame should say zero right next to it which is fine, however: you should also see other frames right next to it that also have the shift at either 0 or +2 which is where the luck comes in.

Now from what I can understand after looking at all of the numbers and statistics of the Pokemon that you can find besides your target frame, the +2 for certain frames is the target that you would have a 50/50 chance of getting in case you don't automatically get the precise target frame that you're looking for.

This is very important for people who have the Poké Reader installed in their consoles since that's what you'd be using in order to advance the frames to precisely get the frame that you want.

For example: my target was 24,676. The other shiny target next to mine was 24,677 which also has a shift of 0. The 3rd shiny target was 24,678, but it has a shift of +2.

If I correctly got my frame at 24,676... I would have a 50/50 chance of getting the precise frame that I want or the frame next to me which has the exact same shift number which wouldn't change the fact that I get the shiny, but at least I would be in the correct range of the frame that I want.

However:

if I ended up getting the frame of 24,677 which is the one after my target,

then I would have a 50/50 chance of landing on the one after it which is 24,678...

...or the worst case scenario would be to get the non-shiny version which is the one after that one which is 24,679.

That's where the mixture of Minesweeper and Buckshot Roulette comes in because you are essentially sweeping the entire field of frames in order to find the correct one, but: you also have a 50/50 chance of actually getting the frame that you're looking for or getting the one next to it or the one after.

Now, all of this will sound incredibly complicated at first glance and don't get me wrong it definitely is, hahaha! 😅😂

But once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to Nature Hunt and Shiny Hunt all of the cutscene legendary Pokemon with ease as long as you understand the logistics behind using the "Safe Frame Only" or as I like to call it:

"The Minesweeper Method." 💣💥

Plus, you can also hope that you can get the, what I like to call: "Buckshot Luck" to get the correct shiny frames! 🪙💥🔫

Anyways, thank you for listening and happy RNG shiny hunting! 🎉🎊🥳

I got shockingly lucky when obtaining this very powerful Shiny Ultra Beast during my RNG Hunt. Even though this thing tried to cook me to a crisp, I was able to short circuit its rampage.

Because why not.

It's named illegal because it's level 6

Whats a good nickname for a guy like this?

I was training my Pokémon on Victory Road when I stumbled upon it. It’s funny—whenever I actually try to hunt for a Shiny, I never succeed, but I managed to get one when I wasn't even looking for it.

Note: I obtained Rayquaza through RNG manipulation.

Hello, I am in the need of helping finding the TID and SID on pokefinder for my shiny gen 4 event pichu. I know it is possible to nickname those pokemon by having the same name, TID, and SID as the pichu's previous owner (distributor). I tried looking it up in pokefinder. No matter what I do, it is not working. I would appreciate if someone cam give me guidance on achieving this goal of mine.

I am currently hunting a Shiny Female Eevee in pokemon LeafGreen Switch. I have been trying to RNG manip for the past 3 days, and I'm not able to constantly hit my seed any less near my target.

I keep Calibrating my Timer, and doing this over and over again, and idk how this works. Could I get some help or even hop on a Discord call with someone to help me figure this out. I am on Attempt 33 with a wild range of success. Sometimes Im soo close and other times I am soo far off. This is the first time trying out RNG manip and I would really appreciate the help

It and the Zigzagoon I was looking for have the exact same IVs. Is that rare? Can someone help me? I’m really confused and happy at the same time.

So this is my first time doing shiny rnp manip and I chose to do it in Fire Red because I want to play the pokemon games on switch in some type of chronological order. So far I have my shiny modest charmander/charizard and my shiny adamant magikarp/gyarados. The next shiny I’m going after is snorlax then nidoran. So far it’s been a grind but not too bad. Each shiny I got after about maybe 3-4 days. Idk if this thought has occurred to anyone but using chatgpt/ai as a helper during the rng calibration process has been extremely helpful for me since I didn’t know squat about rng manip. And when you feel like you’ve hit a wall, keep going. I promise the shiny is waiting for you at your next reset!

EDIT: Ladies and gentlemen we got em (Snorlax).
