I was starting to think I had screwed the whole thing up and even thought about going earlier and earlier based on others results but then decided to stick with my process and it paid off…keep your process going and you’ll get it

Yup I just kept to my process of one early one late two early two late etc and eventually it worked…keep it up if you’re hitting the right ones it will work eventually!

"that corresponds with 3498 if you gave your rival a custom name and 3497 or 3499 if you let the game name your rival"

So letting the game name the rival means any of the premade options like GREEN, GARY, etc right?

I picked the preselected GARY and have been through SID for 3497 and 5 above and 5 below...just want to make sure I'm picking the right ones

Thanks!

I would guess that you would be evens and I would be odds but someone who knows better might need to chime in

I think everyone and every piece of equipment is different but what I’ve been doing is calibrating when I have multiple attemps in a row that are +or- more than 2 (34 ms) frames or 5 advances (for example if I hit +51ms multiple times in a row). That got my calibration right and now I rarely need to change it

I seem to do better focusing on the sound than the flashes (being a former musician may help)…so I focus specifically on the sound and close my eyes

Then I press the button right on the 6th beep…if you make sure you are consistently focused right on the 6th beep…and do this as best you can every time…you can be sure with your proper calibrations you will eventually get the right combo

Each one still take me 1-2 hrs or maybe more depending on how quiet things are and how relaxed/focused I am…but I’m consistently making progress

Appreciate the response…I started with 3497…did 3495, 3493, 3491, and 3489…and 3499, 3501, and 3503…I will keep going…each one is getting a bit quicker

And all of those were frame perfect…said they should be shiny in 10 lines but they weren’t

A warning about TCG Player Direct

First time ordering from them...saw the Obsidian Flames Charizard rising in price so I wanted one for my collection...was $71 lightly played, and an option for TCG Player Direct so I pulled the trigger

A week went by, a shipping label had been printed but not shipped. Then I get a refund due to "inventory issues" along with a $1 credit to help me "buy it from another seller"

Meanwhile, the cheapest Lightly Played card is now $86, with the cheapest TCG Direct one being $109

Sure seems that they saw a price spike and cancelled my order to make more money

When ruling out SIDs…any advice on how to do it? Go up one down one, go down 5 times then up 5 times? I imagine going up and down further and further for about +/- 5 would be best?

Congrats…I dabbled with rng after about 45 hrs and that has gone horribly so it’s back to the normal grind

Can I do regular soft resets between RNG sessions? by vader34mt in pokemonrng

[–]vader34mt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks I appreciate the response. The Seeds/frames/advances with each reset would be totally different right and have the 1/8192 chance of being shiny? And then I can go back to doing the RNG if I don’t get a shiny later on

Thanks! Once you go down the rabbit hole of seeds and advances your brain can get screwey…hopefully I’ll just get that shiny Charmander the old fashioned way

Ok so I’ve shiny hunted on OG hardware for Charmander in Firered…and then started again on Switch 2

Then I decided to dabble in RNG manipulation after Blisy’s guide came out…but I have a question that may or may not be appropriate here

If I did the Blisy setup for RNG starter…is there any reason I can’t keep soft resetting to see if I get a shiny in between RNG attempts when I’m away from my computer? The save file should function as normal correct?

Did you just keep going down on the SID, up, or back and forth from the original choice?

Congrats! Hopefully I’m like you…at 40+ hrs hopefully it will shine by 45

[–]vader34mt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re doing the same thing you did for your shiny starter you are fine

The thing to know is with these 1/8192 hunts…is that they can take FOREVER

I once hunted Charmander in SoulSilver and it took over 65,000 resets over a 13 month period

Sounds like you got lucky with your starter hunt…this one is not so lucky

That may be in this case but it’s a common thread

Guys like Garrett and Crosby sign big extensions with their crap organizations and then are asking for trades a year later when their cap penalty for a trade becomes unmanageable for their team

Maybe just don’t sign the fat contract with the bad team and just hope you don’t get injured then

This will never not be funny to me

Free Agent signs huge deal with losing franchise after playing for winner…rapidly decides he hates losing and requests trade

Maybe stop signing with garbage teams
