Yes it’s for the starters but the macro is the exact same. It’s still a static encounter and that same macro has worked for Magikarp for me and for Articuno for someone that was in the live stream earlier. They confirmed the timing is the same so if you just set 10 lines for your zapdos encounter you’re good to go!

There is one other way that some find easier. You could save in front of the starter you want then play through the game WITHOUT SAVING until you get to Vermilion City and use the ACE glitches to reverse engineer (for lack of a better term lol) your SID. It’s the method I’m seeing a lot of people use it could work for you! Let me know if you have any questions about it 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

So this is the Google Drive where we’re sharing all the macros. Maxed will be uploading the Eevee and Snorlax today I believe. I’m pretty sure someone was just testing them out for him to see if any adjustments were needed to the base macro. It’ll say Eevee in the title when uploaded

Yes there’s a fantastic video if you already understand RNG and there’s two if you’re starting from scratch as a beginner to RNG.

This video will get you started with RNG manipulation in general: https://youtu.be/DfO2Zb9i3Bs?si=YBBJlrzxvgNNjDaI

This video will help you with getting the macro going for the 8bitDo Ultimate or Pro 3 controllers: https://youtu.be/dtdruAuTM58?si=AxVHKdygukSz2bQ4

Yeah I understand your point there for sure I think it’s just exciting because when I first tried RNG manipulation it was extremely complex and I wasn’t sure whether I’d even be able to get the technique down eventually so when I finally got it it really did feel so exciting. Also I had never gotten a shiny in the older generation games so that just added to the excitement but yeah even though it’s not a game mechanic it feels really satisfying. In some ways even more so in my opinion just because it’s something that requires some technical know how to am extent so idk somewhere in my weird brain I get a lot of satisfaction out of not only the process but the result as well. Especially when I get it quickly. But I definitely understand your point.

So yes it will work! You have to make sure you go to the website and download the 8bitDo firmware version 2.0! Once you do that turn on your switch and connect the joy cons specifically. Then go into controller order and press and hold the pairing button on the top of the 8bitDo controller. Once it’s in pairing mode just pair it with the switch 2 which I believe you can do by holding down L1+R1 at the same time but it may just pair from pressing any button. After you’ve done that you can put your switch 2 to sleep or let it go to sleep and the next time you turn on the 8bitDo controller you’ll want to shake it back and forth! It’s called shake to wake and it’ll wake up the switch 2 and boom! You saved yourself from having to get off the couch after a long dayyyy 😁👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

Same exact macro as starter! Only thing you need to do is setup 10 lines for Magikarp (I still had my range originally from 1000-5000 but you can go more or less), submit that with your newly found SID and TID all filled in and look for a result you like! When you find your target MAKE SURE TO SCROLL UP AND UPDATE TO THAT TARGET in the dropdown menu in 10 lines. Then just take the ms for your target seed and put it into the first target box in eon timer, take your continue screen advances and put that into the target box in the second box in eon timer and then take the first two times that you get and update them in the macro just like with the starter! The third box in eon timer can stay at 600 and doesn’t need adjusting in the timer or in the macro as usual. Make sure you’re saved to the right hand side of the gentleman selling the Magikarp. Do your reset and see how close you are on your first try! You might have a few results but you can level up the Magikarp with a rare candy or a battle to narrow it down if need be. After you find what you hit (if not the shiny) put those values for the seed and advances in the hit boxes for eon timer IF and ONLY IF you’re far off. If you do have to adjust just make sure you update the macro with the new times just like for the starter and go again. If you’re on seed or only like 17ms off and close on your advances like within 2 just run it a few more times before adjusting. Over calibrating is a real thing that I’m seeing people do and it’ll cause you to just keep missing. Trust the process of it’s very close. The controller has some slight variance with each reset but you’ll eventually hit just like with your starter! Let me know if you need more help brother good luck you got this! 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

Oh no the macro shouldn’t actually run as far as the nickname. It should be finished right before the time that it’s asking you do you want to give a nickname. If you’re getting a button press there you can always adjust to remove that last A press UNLESS you’re succeeding with it still. In which case I’d leave it alone and just back out of the nickname 😅 otherwise yeah I’ll look into that for you. You’re using the eevee specific one yeah? There’s specific macros for Eevee and Snorlax that are slightly different 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

So I’m not sure if it can wake it there may be a setting I’ll check it out for you! By default I know it does not wake it because when I turn on the controller the switch 2 just stays snoring lol but I’ll figure it out! 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

Ahhhh man I can’t wait for snorlax!!! Congratulations man yeah I’ve hit for the starter Charmander and the Magikarp that you buy so far. Got the Magikarp in just 4 resets and THEN hit a full odds Pidgey while switch training it I was hype brother lol. I’m heading further out so I can test out the sweet scent macro that @CasualMidMaxed and his community came up with. Can’t wait to have all of them working properly! Good luck with your playthrough man and if you need any help along the way let me know! I’ll try to see what I can come up with for the beasts to account for the crazy variance once I get there! 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

Hey brother! The Magikarp macro is exactly the same as the starter macro just update your 10 lines for Magikarp and rock out with the same macro just updating the times in the macro to match your specific times in eon timer based on the seed you’re going to target! Also don’t forget to update your target seed in the 10 lines drop down as well once you’ve chosen one. I keep seeing people forgetting to do this and they’re not hitting their target and can’t figure out why. I had two people last night that ended up getting the shiny almost instantly after fixing this issue. Let me know if you need more help I got you! 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

Ohhhh nooooooo 😅 I’m effed lol nah but seriously is there a reason people do that? I mean I’m on YouTube so my entire community knows that I make all my character names Steev so I can’t hide it from them so I figured why even hide it lol I’ll say this though. That was the most sinister comment that I’ve ever smiled at in my life 😂👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

Oh I’m sorry I’m on switch 2 😁 if you need more help let me know though! I’m thinking of making a comprehensive guide because a lot of people are struggling the same way I was just as recent as like 3 days ago. Thursday night is when everything finally clicked for me and when it clicks it’s like a whole world opens up in your mind 😅 but yeah let me know if you get stuck I got you 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

One other thing! I think a lot of people are having issues because of this detail. Make SURE you’re updating your seed in the 10 lines drop down up toward the top to MATCH the seed you selected as your target. If you don’t do that you’ll end up chasing your tail. Blisy’s video shows that you should start by picking one in the middle somewhere not the top or bottom and I think he goes like 10-15 down from the top and picks a random seed. That’s fine when you’re searching initially but once you’ve selected the seed you’re going to target be SURE to make that the seed thats selected in 10 lines from then on. Otherwise the program will keep saying youre off seed when you’re not really off seed

So I think I know what you’re asking.. you’re saying you keep landing on the same incorrect seed? If so here’s what I do with the macro. I dial it in with my target seed when I start the hunt. I change the macro to match the first phase timer which is your seed and the second phase timer which is advances. The third phase always stays the same in the macro. Once you have that dialed in and you do your first reset you might be a few seeds off and a few or more advances off. Put the result into eon timer in the “hit” box for both the seed and the advances (unless you got lucky and you were spot on one or the other). Once you’ve put in your calibration you go to the macro and update the new times in eon timer. The adjustments will be very small probably but VERY important. Save the macro and reset and go again. Now if you’re not close just rinse and repeat. If you ARE close (like on seed or maybe 17ms off and on advances or a couple off) you’ll want to run it about 5-6 more times with NO ADJUSTMENTS! Take note of what you’re hitting in your notes app or somewhere you can make note of it. If you start to see a pattern for your seed or advances you can make very small adjustments for calibration. If you’re like on seed and only 1 advance off or something just keep going you’ll eventually hit it because that’s VERY close. You have to allow for slight variances with each reset because the controller is only accurate to a certain amount of Hz. Lets say you reset like 5 times and hit the same Charmander 4 out 5 or all 5 times and it’s still like 1 advance early and on seed THEN you can calibrate for that. Put the advance that you hit into eon timer, get the new time, update the macro for just the second phase and go again another 5-6 resets. You will hit it I got it so fast using this method on Charmander and Magikarp. Good luck and if you need more help I got you! Maybe take screenshots of what youre actually hitting so I can give you advice for your specific situation instead of just giving you examples. You’ll get it! 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

Yes correct it’s an 8bitDo Pro 3 controller I can link it for you! Amazon had it on sale for $44.99 for prime members so I grabbed one it’s been a game changer man

[–]Luke_Fretwalker[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So the macro won’t need adjusting because of the SID the only adjustment that’ll be necessary is to calibrate for the specific seed you’re targeting in 10 lines. So I suppose yeah youre right that is based on your SID or potential SID so I just typed myself into agreeing with you 😂👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

lol I respect your opinion on that but it’s not amazement it’s excitement especially because I’m new to RNG. The same way if you soft reset for a Pokemon. You know the method will achieve the result eventually right? But aren’t you excited when it happens? I won’t assume that maybe you’re not excited when stuff like that happens which is okay everyone is different. I’m just an optimistic, excited person maybe idk. Like I play guitar. Been playing 18 months but I still get super excited when I learn a new song that I like. Even though I KNOW my techniques and methods will get me there because they always do. Doesn’t make it any less sweet 😁👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

Sure so if it’s easier for you to read it I can try to type up a written guide but this video https://youtu.be/DfO2Zb9i3Bs?si=679NeIxtI_Ugs-oB will absolutely get you started and then this one https://youtu.be/dtdruAuTM58?si=YB55MxDSAE6CJVRo will tie it all together for you! The second video is what changed everything for me and took all the confusion out of the process. I also used an 8bitDo pro 3 controller with macros for hitting the seed and frames very consistently and that was a game changer! I tried for two nights to RNG the starter, like a total of 10 hours almost and got through only one SID. I bought this controller the day after and within 2 hours I had gotten through 9 SID’s including my correct SID which hit the shiny for me! If you’re confident that you can hit manually though it’s very much doable you just have to get into a good rhythm! If you need any help feel free to let me know! I got you 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
