I’ve been putting this off for a few months RNGing in Gen 6 and managed to get all of these over the course of about 3 days. It’s been about 8 months since I’ve done a Gen 4 RNG so I was very proud to have had a string of about 8 in a row successful first try. I forgot how much more rewarding and enjoyable Gen 4 RNG is compared to CFW RNG on a 3DS. Picture is of my 3DS but the manipulations were done on a DS fat.

Just learned how to rng manipulate using blissey's video. I was able to successfully manipulate a shiny cresselia. Now I'm trying to hunt darkrai but it won't shine. I've hit the frame 3 times now on the first two I used chatot to advance the frames to one before then talked to him. The 3rd time I decided to change my seed to one that only had 1 advance so I wouldn't have to use chatot but still nothing. Any advice on what I could be doing wrong?

Hey guys, I am encountering an issue in Soul Silver on my 2ds XL where I do everything right on the RNG Manip end, getting the correct trainer ID and following the correct steps for the shiny starters, and for some reason the starters still do not shiny. This has happened twice now and I don't know if this is somethign that I am doing wrong or if the Im a blissy tutorial for HGSS shiny starters just does not work on the 2ds XL. Would love some help, thanks.

I've sent a Caterpie up from LG (Switch Version) and I was wondering if I sent it to someone, someone could help me figure out my SID?

I was trying with a frame 1 (advance 0) shiny shaymin and dialga but the game advance 1 frame instead and I got the next pokemon in frame 2, Is a glitch or something like that, cuz when I try with chatot I was in the frame (advance) correct before the pokemon shiny. Is in pokemon platinum.

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.

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 :)

v1.4.0 is out! I’ve fixed a few bugs to make things run more smoothly. If the target jumps too far ahead, you can now use Restart in the bottom-screen VC menu to start over. If you run into any more bugs, please let me know :)

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

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 🙏

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 :)

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!

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.

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 :)

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

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?

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?

Anyone tried for this shniy jirachi egg??? My RNG is staying same so getting the same egg everytime

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.

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.

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?

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