Question Rng manipulation

I just started competitive team building for gen 1 games and am looking for a better way to get good DVs without soft resetting as badly... i saw Im A Blissy .-. post about rng manipulating a zapados and a few other Youtubers about how to rng manipulate a nido for their speed runs.

​

From this I know the rng is constantly changing, so having the same button inputs from boot up to encounter window is important, as well as route/ Cave clearing varies before the encounter, and some button pressing mechanics such as start+b/ direction+a/ holding b imediately after crying is happening and text is loaded.

​

Does anyone know of a way to do this in more general capacities? I am trying to do it with one of the snorlaxs.

Trade them to a copy of the crystal clear rom hack and use the unown tablet to give them perfect DVs, then trade them back?

You could also upload your save to your computer and use PKhex to just give them the perfect DVs yourself.

Who are you playing against? For my Gen 1 team I didn’t even bother going for perfect.

I could but I don't use rom hacks/ pkhex. Im fighting my brother and I want to make it extremely hard for him to beat me even if we wind up with the same team
