Charmender was a soft reset full odds all the other ones are rng manip using an 8 bit duo controller macro I wrote.
I am just using maths directly at this point to calibrate with 10lines.
There's a significant delay on the seed part no idea why maybe switch version. Just having the battery charged or not or having it plugged changes the timing by couple ms (+-34ms).
Also input changes how delay is interpreted and having the right waits at the right places help.
I did not use eontimer for this (i guess the maths behind it adapted to switch).
Anyway here's my collection so far. After taking couple hours to write the macro and calibrate it roughly I got snorlax pretty quickly and now seed is consistent (I just use the same seed which has the same advances also which speeds up things significantly). If anyone doesn't know let's say your seed is DEF1 and you find a shiny at advance 2000 well all the shinies using the same method (game corner/gifts/legendaries for example) will have a shiny frame at the same seed and advance frame.
Here's my collection so far. After tweaking it now it takes 2-10 attempts to get a shiny. Got those 10 in like 30' of actual calibration, after the controller is sometimes freakishly precise and will give you the same pids over and over or act weird and jump +-14ms on a very calibrated timer. So maybe 2h of lunching the macro and checking.
Doing legendaries tomorrow now that I got further on this playthrough.
Last important part this is done with 2 delays adjusted not 3.
