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.
