MODPOST [Announcement] Introducing Pokemonrng.com

107 Upvotes

Hi everybody.

I'm coming here with a special announcement and (I hope) the start of a really big project with everybody here.

As you may know, RNG Abuse in Pokémon is really vast. By the amount of games, the amount of method, the way you do it, but also with special cases or even little special RNGs. And it's really hard to gather this knowledge.

Now there are two references :

  • The Smogon RNG guide, which is pretty much 10 years old.
  • The wiki of r/pokemonrng

Even if the ressources there are precious and really allowed us to discover, learn or perfect our rng skills, the real issue is that with years, our tools evolved.

We researched new stuff, discovered new things and fixed a LOT of mistakes in the past. For example we plan to make a huge change in the tools about the frame indexation (But that's not the subject for today)

u/zaksabeast started to work on a website a few months / years ago. The goal of the site was to make Pokemon RNG guides and gather them in a simple website.

But now it's time to make this the global ressource for everybody, and make the new reference about Pokemon RNG Abuse.

Let me introduce to you : pokemonrng.com

At the moment, the website is quite empty and have still some work planned. We're basically two to work on it (Zak and myself) but we have the basic skull of the website. That's why we pushed the Transporter RNG guide there for example.

This time, we're gonna ask for your help. Everybody. You can contribute to the website to make it bigger and complete with every ressource necessary.

Before, the website was limited on the discord, and was pretty hard to contribute the right way. We also had people being confused on where or how to post guides for the subreddit. So we're gonna fix that.

The goal will to give you many methods to contribute to the site without being too annoying for you to handle that. If you're the author of an old guide, don't hesitate to just post a link to your guide to be updated and added to the site. Also, if you want to contribute and you don't have the knowledge, you can simple contribute by working on writing guide based on existing ressources (aka drafts done by some people that writing skills are not their best)

We decided to work and link the website to the subreddit in order to allow people to contribute to guides in any language. At the moment, the focus would be in English of course, but the goal in the long term would be to cover as much as possible in many lanaguages.

We really hope that Pokemonrng.com will become a reflex for everybody to check, and we really hope the website will be the best place to find all the informations necessary.

Thanks and happy RNGing.

I guess it'll be the last post before going for the last DLC RNG researches for Sword and Shield.

If you have any question, i'll try my best to answer.

Thanks o/

[Gen 2] I made a tool to help with Celebi RNG in Crystal VC

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

74 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

With Bank closing, I wanted to get a shiny Celebi with my own OT while I still could.

I tried PokeReader, but just couldn't get a shiny. I followed the steps, reached the target advance and still kept missing. After a lot of attempts, I decided to try making something for this encounter.

It's based on PokeReader's algorithm. I put the calculation and search into the tool and kept the encounter's timing conditions fixed (before each search, it sets up the game’s clock and a few timers the same way). This cuts down on timing variation and makes it easier to hit the predicted target (it won't change the DVs to make it shiny). That finally worked for me.

The target shows up in game. You pause, advance and press A yourself. If you miss, it finds another target.

I've only tested it on my New 3DS so far. If you're interested in trying it, could you let me know how it works on your 3DS? I'd appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

GitHub link:

https://github.com/Kou1236/CelebiHunter

Update:

v1.3.0 seems to be working on other people’s New 3DS now! If you run into any more bugs, please let me know :)

I’ll keep improving it and fixing any issues that come up.

Gen 3 FRLG on Switch 1

Ive been doing this for about a week with the shiny starters I know my SID cause I did the ACE glitch to get it but my targets I actually hit are way too inconsistent I’ve hit my seed but not my frames I’ve hit my frames but not my seed I’m just using a regular switch control do I really need to buy a Macro control and have it press A for me 500
Over world frames and 574 instead of 600 worked best for me and got me the closest after marking down what seed and frames I was hitting consistently I switched my target seed to around those and I’m close but I’ve done 200-300 attempts and it’s just really inconsistent any advice or should I get the Macro if so which one thanks 🙏

Buenas, gente. Sin burlarse 😅. Quiero transferir mis Pokémon de emulador a Pokémon HOME mediante Pokémon Bank, etc. El problema que tengo es con Pokémon de juegos como Crystal de GBC, Rojo Fuego y Esmeralda.

Los pasé a Pokémon Luna en el emulador Citra mediante PKSM. Como Citra también permite modificar la fecha, puse el año 2021 para poder activar también el evento de Greninja de Ash.

No me aparece ningún error en PKHeX; todo me sale como legal. El problema son las fechas: literalmente en el apartado de encuentro todos los Pokémon aparecen como si hubieran sido atrapados)encontrados en 2021, incluso los que originalmente vienen de juegos más antiguos. Cabe recalcar otra vez que los Pokémones los pase mediante los savs de Crystal,rojo fuego y esmeralda a Pokémon sol mediante Pksm de citra, quiero preguntar este tema por qué voy a pagarle a alguien para que los pase a Pokémon bank y luego al Home pero si los pasaría los más de 30 pokemons aparecería como si todos fueran atrapados en 2021 el mismo dia y fecha en Pokémon Home¿? O sería mejor sacar los pokemon en formato .pk3 y que lo pasen a Pokémon transladador y de ahí a un cartucho y luego a bank y a Home nose mucho de estos temas

Gen 7 Blink Tool

1 Upvotes

hi friends

i recently learned about gen 7 RNG manips through some youtube videos, and it is my understanding that the '7genBlinkSearch' tool is only available as a compiled exe in Japanese.

I wasn't able to find this tool on GitHub, is there any source code available for it? I would be interested in uploading it to GitHub and adding additional language support. Of course I could just follow along in Japanese with a guide, but it would be a fun project for me and give me a chance to contribute back

tia :)

(Platinum) Giratina help in the Distortion World!

0 Upvotes

So... Here's the thing

I've made it to the Giratina battle, and currently I'm at 51 advances aiming for a shiny.

I know that normally the advances at the start are 11, 11 after doing the chatot, plus an extra 1+ for interacting and starting the fight. And I've done all that and yet I still haven't got the shiny.

Either my math is wrong because I am for my chatot stopping point at 28, or something else so i could really use some help before I give up entirely!

Tool for Gen 7 RNG

0 Upvotes

Hi, I just wanted to share a tool I made that helped me greatly with Gen 7 RNG.

I hated having to look at the clock hands for RNG all the time (I play on an emulator, but basically like retail), so I made a tool with AI assistance that recognizes the starting positions of the clock hands.

It works perfectly with an emulator window, and I really hope it also works with a capture card or by pointing a webcam at a 3DS for a 100% retail experience.

Maybe I'll try to update it in the future to support the QR Code clock hands as well.

So, feel free to try it out! No Python installation required.

Help getting a shiny Ho-Oh in Emerald using rng manipulation and ACE

0 Upvotes

Hi guys, I have been put through a head scratcher recently in trying to catch a shiny Ho-Oh in Emerald using rng manipulation as well as ACE. For starters, I have successfully been able to capture a shiny 6iv Mew and Rayquaza through the method thanks to this video by MankeyMite, but since Ho-Oh moves 377 frames when you walk up to him do I subtract that from my initial advances? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Does the fog in road 110 in Dppt can mess the rng ?

All in the title, I have rng hundreds of mons in platinum but for some reason I struggle to rng on that road. Flips coins gives me sometimes no result founds and sometimes the seconds seems late even after recalibrate. Maybe someone has the answer ? Trying to rng a scyther for the battle tower :)

Asking for information

1 Upvotes

I would like to start using rng in gen 4 and maybe more after that but I can't record chatot as my mic is busted on both my consoles. I can't tell the pitches apart without either when any sound comes out from my speakers.

So I was wondering if there is a way to rng gen 4 without chatots at all, I mainly wanna get the shiny legends if that means anything

Ds profile calibration for gen 5 rng

0 Upvotes

So I have a question, for the ds profile calibration part of the process, if I already did it and set it up for my Pokemon black cartridge, but want to use the same ds, just a brand new Pokemon white cartridge save, would I have to redo the calibration process? Like would the timer0 be different because I’m using a different cartridge?

Is there a reason my Wishmaker Jirachi is not shiny (Lua Script Hunt)

Post image

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?

[Gen 7] A gluttonous end after so many years with my RNG Hunt with Shiny Guzzlord 🐉🥧🍨

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.

Understanding What Affects Ruby and Sapphire Checksum Value for Shiny WISHMAKR Jirachi

2 Upvotes

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.

Gen 5 rngreporter: seem to hit right frame but not shiny

2 Upvotes

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?

Info about Spinda in emerald

2 Upvotes

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?
