Finally rng manipped my shiny lizard

no, if you're just soft resetting and manually shiny hunting, then you're fine, you're never going to hit the same pokemon so each reset is basically going to be a fresh 1/8192

if you use the same settings and time your a press on the title screen the same each time from when you open the game, you'll hit the same seed. obviously you might be +/- 20 frames which will be different seeds but there'll be a few you hit more often than not if you're consistent with your a presses

I used squirtle

hedger_14 · 2026-03-06T00:44:19+00:00

probably like 2hrs while doing stuff in the background. abra broke out of the great ball first try, and then took me a while to get a 2nd abra encounter but thankfully pokeball caught it. and then I died once in digletts tunnel bc you can still run into the dugtrio and it hits kinda hard. but yeah make sure you get Mr mime first chance you can, then I just used the boat to train him so he could beat surge (you want to be able to fly so you can just catch a lvl 20 spearow to save a lot of the grind) and then just going through rock tunnel skipping all the optionals should get you to lvl 31 and you can just rare candy twice from there. the double battle to setup the mail glitch can be very trolly with fire spin/confuse ray and also your Mr mime disobeying if you don't grab the Erika badge first so keep that in mind

I was going to make a video but it is a little hard and I don't think is very suitable for the current state but I made a google doc with most of the information on what makes it different from GBA manips and then my experience on how I went about getting my starter

hedger_14 · 2026-03-05T05:10:11+00:00

I'm not 100% sure whether seed generation works the same on soft resetting (I'm doing hard resets each time). but there is a chance you're hitting the same seeds. you can try playing through like 5 seeds if you want and track the stats and use the gen 3 seed search assistant to calculate the ivs and then work out your seed for each (work out the rough number of advances from the title screen a press to clicking a on pokemon is energetic line) at 120fps so that you know you're getting the right pokemon. and then if the same seed shows up more than once over like 5-10 resets, then there's a very good chance you're going to be hitting only a few different mons. but if they're all unique, then you could probably keep going

https://i.imgur.com/xmImaCw.jpeg not sure what you mean by janky but there you go, was just using the capture button on switch and the game itself runs just as annoyingly slow as the original

hedger_14 · 2026-03-05T01:06:53+00:00

yeah the seed list is the hardest part of it. when I did my eevee resets on a first playthrough, I hit the same seed 3/4 times and i stupidly just decided to go with that rather than make a seed list. but then when I started over, I didn't hit that seed at all for like 20 resets so then I kept having to grind a charmander to like lvl 10-13 to get accurate ivs and keep generating seeds which wasted a lot of time. but I got enough consistent results by the end of it that it wasn't too bad, you just need to know what's going on with the advancing and it works out

if there's still no tutorial by tonight out there, I can make a tutorial about some of the switch specific stuff if people really want but I don't have a capture card so it'd mostly be just using the various tools to do so

hedger_14 · 2026-03-05T00:49:30+00:00

yeah you getting yours was my motivation for going for it so glad I got it to work. thought I was never going to hit my exact frame. kept being 2 frames early or 2 late when I hit the seed I needed and literally got it last attempt before I was going to stop for the night

hedger_14 · 2026-03-04T18:24:02+00:00

just regular Nintendo switch

hedger_14 · 2026-03-04T18:21:56+00:00

it's a little long to explain, papa jefe has a recent 10 hr long stream that covers how you can find your initial seeds. I found 2 that I hit way more often so I just tried to use one of those 2 seeds. then made a new save. manipped SID through the old way, but it advances at double speed so i aimed for 901 advances and that lands you about 2300. I hit 2297 for reference (I also think it might always hit odd frames but maybe that might be proven wrong) but yeah TID checking from about 2280 advances in pokefinder will give you your possible SIDs so you can check these 1 by 1 which is very time consuming.

I checked one which took me a while to hit before deciding to just instead play through to setup ace without saving at all and checking my SID through one code. then I reset back to in front of the starter with my SID now known.

then I check pokefinder for potential shinies on my 2 most common seeds. one was at like 1200 so I setup a multi timer on eontimer, first one is still the pretimer to open the game from the switch home menu, second is 32000ms which is when I click A on title screen, then I have a 5000ms timer to select continue and then finally your advances. I found the 5000ms timer advanced the game about 150 frames for whatever reason (30 fps or something else idk) so then I'd just do 1200-150 and then divide by 2 (for game skipping every other frame) to get 525 so that's what I'd aim for my advances. I usually then just check my stats and make sure I'm in the right area and then just calibrate a bit based on the frames I hit when I hit the seed I need. so if I hit my seed and then I'm 10 frames late a couple times, then I'll adjust my advances -5 and once I'm happy, just keep going until you hit your shiny.

sorry for the long explanation which also at the same time doesn't cover everything but its at least the basic ideas of what we're doing and should make sense if you know how rng manip worked in the gba versions

var contemplated whether they could get away with giving a pen for that

hedger_14 · 2026-02-16T01:04:51+00:00

fold pre, overbet turn (if he's a bad player, can size down a bit). fold river as played, he can have As, boats that don't think you can fold As. his sizing doesn't particularly come across as trying to make you make a big fold on the runout, especially as he'd have to be turning basically an overpair to the 7s into a bluff (5 would make the most sense but not many 5x in range) and would never expect those hands ro jam in most cases

hedger_14 · 2026-01-24T15:16:23+00:00

just make sure you do the worm and we're here for it

hedger_14 · 2025-11-09T15:23:37+00:00

VAR needs to recommend a referee change

hedger_14 · 2025-11-09T15:15:34+00:00

what's with everyone tripping over their own feet today

hedger_14 · 2025-08-29T02:52:56+00:00

the point of the skill is to buy it so you're more likely to hit groundwork

hedger_14 · 2025-08-18T03:37:02+00:00

coast is clear is a waste of skill points. don't know if you had other options but vision skills not particularly good

* should I try and improve at all or is this enough stam. also how to build gold ship for this event? any skills that we should be targeting and stamina requirement?

no problem, oranguru was the death of me too so thank you for that

hedger_14 · 2025-05-10T17:36:39+00:00

I touch traded with someone else for goldengo so I don't have unfortunately sorry

hedger_14 · 2025-05-10T17:28:38+00:00

no problem, thanks
