Most Generation PRNG Help / Information

I've read over mingot's guide to DP and omega's Hs notes and even looked at bear's videos, but what kind of adjustments do I need to make in order to capture a good Lugia? (I play Soulsilver)

I can't make calls to Elm because I can't get to Kanto yet.
KO Lugia then come back to it later after beating the E4 and going to Kanto.

I advise you to ko lugia and come back after you beat the e4 and went to kanto.

When you do that, go back to lugia cave and save 1 step before you enter the room lugia is. When trying to hit your seed, the first couple of seed that you hit that isnt your target frame, input that seed in the rngreporter and capture lugia. Match the IV of the lugia with the current seed. Doing this will tell you how much the frame advance between entering the cave and encountering lugia. IMO it is best to kept lugia frame including in the calculation

It best to do this 2 or 3 times. When you sure you know how much your frame advance, try to hit your seed, but keep in mind of the frame advance.


[if you did this 3 times and all 3 result showed the frame had advance to frame 6 from lugia frame(which is frame 1) + the amount of frame from entering the cave(which would be 5 in this case) then your formula should be:

target frame - 9 (for elm calls) - 6(for lugia frame + frame advancement) - ( # of the frame advancment via radio or elm)
 
Is there an alternative method than sweet scent in the snow?

I am trying to get a snover with a specific spread but the sweet scent does not work because of hail.
 
Shadowhunter you can only abuse in snow if you are using pokeradar. see the post on the 1st page for more details. also i am 99,9% sure that you can abuse a snover in Lake Acuity where there is no hailstorm

I thought bulbapedia was reliable.... It missed Lake Acuity on Snover's Location!
I thought there were only sneasels and wobuffett, thanks!
 
i calculate my delay for id/sid abuse.
i had 8 results:

5667, 14s
5859, 18s
5623, 14s
5581, 13s
5587, 13s
5539, 13s
5849, 17s
5675, 16s

which delay should i use?

which delay should i use?

is this for Pt or HG/SS?

cuz one is the shutting down TV and the other is the "shrinking", which takes 3 seconds.

i usually recommend a higher delay so u get a bit of leeway.
 
An easier way to abuse ID is to start out aiming for a time than a delay. Go through a trial run to find out how long it takes. Then add about 10 seconds to that time for some room incase of slowing down. That should give you a more reliable delay.

EDIT: Can someone give me the link to download the Seed Verifier?

Thanks, I didn't know it would respawn.

So legendaries respawn every time I beat the E4 or just once?
 
I'm breeding in plat. I've got shinyness, I get my frame. go for IV's and it says my frame is 1 low. I re-save, same thing happens. I re-save again same thing happens! What's going on? What can lower the frame? (Even if I find a new spread with 1 frame lower it says I'm a frame low!)
 
For breeding? The cowgirls can change your frame. Try saving when they aren't moving and while the bunny is in the box or just finished turning.
 
^Buneary doesn't effect frame rate at all since it has a set path it follows, so nothing is random with it. @Despotar: Pretty much just save, calibrate, and repeat if needed until you get as low as you want.
 
When using sweet scent for method J,
using it doesn't change your frame, right? And your supposed to save in the grass, correct?
EDIT: Will this work?
I have a 71 frame. If I save 1 step from the grass, start the game, hit my seed, walk 1 step onto the grass, do my 354 (coorect?) flips, sweeet scent, catch, and it will be my spread?
And-if they are 2 caught pokemon in one page of the journal, doe sthat page raise the frame by 2 or 4?
 
Okay, I'm not really sure how to answer your question. If your target frame is 71, you first need to subtract 2 for using sweet scent. So you're at 69, and by taking 1 step into a patch of grass (assuming you that isn't step 128 which increases the frame by the number of pokemon in your party) you are at 68. This is how many frames you need to advance with the journal. Then everytime you flip to/open a page that has something about a caught/defeated you need to subtract 2. So 68/2=34. So you will need to hit the seed, walk into the grass, do 34 journal flips to pages with caught/defeated, and then sweet scented and it should be your target.

One thing to note, make sure you know how many roamers are out when you do the abuse. For each one out is another frame advancement.
 
I fail to see how this could help him...

Some guy said it was 5, but didn't prove anything so... you'd better try it by yourself
