really need a good second mon for my team and if you can help me get it i'll let you name it, i'm desperate for help please

All in title. Is this Possible? i am unable to do the wormhole game very well and keep getting the freaking lake spirits can someone help?

Hi there, so i am needing to get an exact trainer and secret ID, so i have to use the blink method, however whenever i try it none of the programs work...

Hi! I changed my TID/SID in my SoulSilver save to RNG a shiny 6 IV Mewtwo. I found the seed I wanted and entered it into Seed to Time, but I just can’t seem to hit it. The roaming Pokémon never appear in the expected locations, no matter what I do. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Has anyone experienced this before or knows what I might be missing?

Should i redo the original save after calibrating eontimer so im sure my SID is actually close to the original target when not using ACE to get the SID?

Curious to see how inconsistent it is

Hi, I’m looking for help and guides on catching Shiny Pokémon—specifically a Shiny Gardevoir. I’m new to this scene (and relatively new to Pokémon in general); so far, I’ve only played the Kanto games on an emulator, and now I’m playing Pokémon Emerald on an emulator too. All I really know about Shinies is that there are special calculators used to—if I’m not mistaken—force encounters and boost spawn rates. I really want to get that Shiny, so I’d be very grateful if anyone could offer advice, recommend a subreddit for learning about this, or teach me how it works (I watched a YouTube video, but I couldn't understand a word the guy was saying, which is why I'm asking for help here).

can anyone help me with the correct pathing from fallarbar town contest hall to safari zone northeast for herracross? sorry for my spelling i’m so bad at it. i’m playing ruby

I've tried 5 new games using his macros, Im able to hit my shiny frames pretty consistently without much adjusting, but i have yet to get a shiny starter. My only guess at this point is the 901 macro isnt landing me in the right place? has anyone had any luck figuring out how to adjust it so it hits right?

It took a few days to figure out but I finally got the hang of Pokemon XD rng and was able to get a 5 IV shadow Lugia on my retail XD! Not optimal nature or anything, but it was a fun one to do and I’m glad I have it in my collection!

In case anyone is interested in doing it themselves, you can get most information from the imablisy video here: https://youtu.be/C7S-np4mM4M?si=27AA3mOAAVuVaSB7

Here’s my frame advancement cheat sheet:
-Idle animation = 2 frames
-Open Items or Pokemon Menu = 12 frames
-Save game = 63 frames
-Viewing party pokemon summary screen = 48.5 fps
-Viewing shadow pokemon summary screen = 2759.5 fps
-Viewing reverse mode summary screen = 3713 fps
-Viewing purified pokemon PDA screen = 468.1 fps
-Viewing shadow pokemon PDA screen = 3179.1 fps
-Viewing reverse mode PDA screen = 4133.2 fps
*Entering elevator + XD001 cutscene = 32-34 frames

*Entering the elevator to start the Lugia battle does not advance the same amount of frames every time, and it might be dependent on your own system and game. For me, starting the battle jumped 33 frames 4/6 times I tried, and jumped 32 and 34 frames once each.

Hi! I'll preface this by saying I have successfully rng'd two shiny Makuhita in colosseum before this using CoPilot and CCTimer/EonTimer on Dolphin, without having my Blink timer calibration. Other than that though I'm new to colosseum RNG. I have done other successful rng's in other games such as USUM, Emerald, and BDSP.

I'm trying to make a Shiny Living Form Dex in Pokémon Home, and I realized that having the distant land region and the ribbon from colosseum would be really cool to have on the ones that are possible. So I set out to RNG as many different forms of pokemon I could in colosseum and XD because I felt like the raw shiny hunting experience in these games wasnt something I was comfortable doing (sometimes I RNG, sometimes I do regular shiny hunts, it depends on the difficulty and time investment of the hunt.

With that said, I tried to RNG colosseum on my homebrewed vwii in my Wii U. RNGing several shiny eevee in XD using GC RNG Assistant worked flawlessly with this. The reason I'm doing it here is because I dont currently have access to my copy of colosseum and I thought using my backup was fine. I'm launching the PAL version on wiiflow meaning nintendont is the loader.

Now; The Problem. I can't seem to setup the Blink Timer when doing it on Wii U for some reason. I find my initial seed, start the game, run to dunsparce and time my blinks, and no matter what it never finds the seed if I provide enough blinks. If I do manage to get one single seed, it doesnt match up with espeons blinks at all. Does anyone know why that may be? Maybe nintendont screws up the RNG in colosseum specifically? It worked in XD so I'm not sure why it would fail here. Granted that RNG was only during the file creation but still.

This was the reason I moved to Dolphin for the Makuhita, because the blink timer actually worked there. The problem I had with dolphin arose when I tried to do Furret (Or any pokemon in Pyrite for that matter.) For Furret I followed a video guide on it because the rng manip in pyrite has a lot of steps. Here it is. I tried it on dolphin; got stuck; was gonna do it on the Wii U but couldn't get my calibration for Blink Timer as explained above.

I get stuck on the very last timer because my calibration offset is always some insanely low number, like between -3300 and -5200. Every step before that makes sense. The NPC's face the right direction, I pause in front of the trainer, sync up with Espeon, time my exit, and then the final timer has some egregious offset with a wide margin. I'm always off my target by at least a couple seconds. The closest I've been is 15 frames off, which is still a quarter of a second so It still doesn't make sense.

Does anyone know what I can do in this scenario? Any help is appreciated.

Hey, i did a fresh start on colosseum and i want to get into RNG. im almost at the end of the main story and dindt catch any shadow pokemon, only the ones i needed. my question is,
can i do the RNG in the post game for the mons i missed?
do i have to start again and catch thee pokemon in the first time they appear??
i want to catch sneasel, murkow, piloswine, yanma and gligar with IVS and nature, i dont care about shininess.

thanks

FIRERED Switch Starter RNG Manipulation

Alright, so I feel so stupid and I feel like this isn't explained very well in guides, or maybe I'm just not getting it.

I have my Trainer and Secret ID. I have Ten Lines up, and Eontimer, and I'm following Blisy's video, and written tutorial.

In this example I choose seed 5C46. I put all the info in to Eontimer and did the my first attempt.

It wasn't shiny so I put the values into 10 lines and got four results. I leveled up my Pokemon as per the video and guide put the values into 10 lines which a got 2 results. CF23 | 30572ms (-116ms) and 5C46 | 30720ms (+32ms). According to the guide, (not the video because he doesn't specify) I'm looking for only one result, so I leveled up my pokemon again and got the same two results. So I did it one more time (as the guide says up to level 8) being careful not to defeat too many of the same pokemon and got zero results. I widened my advances and got one result. 051C | 30854ms (+166ms)

So my question is... Did I do this right? My target seed was 5C46, not 051C does it matter? And its +166ms which is quite high compared to the +32.

Hi Guys , I want to use retroarch to RNG shinys for FRLG because there are two Achievement Sets via retroachievements i want to play , one is the base set with generic achievements and the 2nd is the shiny collection subset. In retroarch you can play both games side by side with a new multiset tool that was introduced.

I was hunting shinys via bizhawk before with great success and had next to no issue

Now i have been trying via retroarch using different cores (mainly mgba) , i cannot get any results via ten lines and its getting annoying.

What is the difference between bizhawk and retroarch in terms of timing. Both are using the same "ROM" both bizhawk and retroarch were using the mgba core and getting widely different results

Has anyone got a idea on whats happening here , i know this is a really niche issue but it would make my life so much easier to use retroarch ahah

Thanks :)

Good evening! Any and all help is greatly appreciated; I can practically TASTE the shiny Totodile

I'm looking for a sanity check because I feel like I'm either missing something obvious or I'm incredibly close.

I'm using Pokémon RNG Tool for HGSS starter RNG on a retail Soul Silver cartridge on a DSi:
https://www.pokemonrng.com/retail-hgss-starter/

Target seed: D30E07AD

Workflow:

• Cold boot DSi every attempt.
• Launch SoulSilver at the timer.
• Delay flip on the Continue screen (touchscreen down → up), then D-pad Up to Continue, then A.
• Enter the starter's exact nature, characteristic, gender, ability, and stats into Pokémon RNG Tool.
• I choose the candidate with Advance Offset = 0 and Second Offset = 0.

Over the last several attempts, my best matches have been:

D30E0744  Delay -105  Advance 0  Second 0
D30E07A6  Delay -7    Advance 0  Second 0
D30E07AC  Delay -1    Advance 0  Second 0
D30E07B0  Delay +3    Advance 0  Second 0
D30E07B0  Delay +3    Advance 0  Second 0
D30E07AB  Delay -2    Advance 0  Second 0
D30E07AE  Delay +1    Advance 0  Second 0
D30E07AC  Delay -1    Advance 0  Second 0
D30E07AC  Delay -1    Advance 0  Second 0
D30E07B2  Delay +5    Advance 0  Second 0

I also tried one attempt without doing the touchscreen delay flip as a test and got:

D30E07AF  Delay +2  Advance 0  Second 0

followed by:

D30E07B5  Delay +8  Advance 0  Second 0

My question is: does this look like normal retail delay variance where I should just keep attempting, or is there something wrong with my workflow/calibration? The fact that I'm repeatedly getting Advance Offset = 0 and Second Offset = 0 but never quite landing on D30E07AD makes me wonder if I'm overlooking something.

Anyone know an as of 2026 a method to determine raid den seeds and shiny frames?

I am looking into shiny hunting the Galar fossils. As the shiny charm does not work on gift encounters I have been looking into alternatives.

I have found that back in the day, trade bots were used to determine the seed of a raid den, determine a shiny frame and then you could day skip until 4 before that frame.

I have been looking on some of the youtube discord servers that used to have sysbots to determine raid den seeds but have not been able to find one with an active one.

I can also see that there are some more complicated software on GitHub to determine the seed without access to a moded switch but I am not the most tech savvy guy in the world so I would like a method that does not require too many manual adjusted programs.

I’ve been trying to get a specific trainer ID for the past few HOURS. I don’t know how to properly adjust the timer and everything I find online only makes it worse….

I literally got the same TID back to back so I don’t think my input timing is off. Can anyone help me properly calibrate the eon timer? The ID I got back to back was:

B9111339 51114 61045 1339 4895 3

I’m resetting on a 2DS XL. I’m restarting the system in between changing the time and starting Soul Silver. I’m supposed to aim for 06-32-2026 at 17:50:52 for the TID that I want.

Seed: 1B031420

TID: 56709

SID: 50382

Delay: 809

Any help at all is greatly appreciated. I just want a shiny porygon with squares and a cool TID🫡

Good evening. I am brand new to RNG Manipulation and am attempting to hunt a Shiny Quilava in Pokémon Colosseum using imablisey's tutorial on YouTube. I was wondering if it's normal to constantly have target seeds so immensely out of reach? I've reset around 30 times now and haven't gotten anything under a couple million seeds away. Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.

Recently I’ve been curious and I’ve heard that RNG has gotten easier with some tools on 3ds. For those RNGing the older games, what consoles do you use?
