guys how much frames higher do i need to get a seed for rnging at floccecy ranch...there are mareep and 2-3 moving npcs ....and does the frame still advance even during the sweet scent cut scene (cuz they still move during that)
please help
thank you
First off, yes, the frame still advance even during the sweet scent cut scene.
Unfortunately, you can't tell exactly how many frames higher unless you calibrate the number of frames that the PIDRNG will advance. What you have to do is rng and catch pokemon without changing the frame for the seed you want. Take a look at what the frame the PIDRNG ends up as. Use your best guess based on the initial PIDRNG from the Reporter if it's not all that clear. Then, based on what you get, you subtract that "calibrated" initial frame from the actual frame you want. You'll then need to RNG and catch to see if you hit the seed correctly and then what frame did you hit if it's not the correct pokemon, gender, ability, and nature.
Note that while the way the PIDRNG advances from NPC is mostly consistent, sometimes, they don't advance consistently. What I mean is that, say you advance the frames by 27. The NPCs will mostly move in the same way every time when you are sweet scenting. Sometimes however, you might advance 26 frames and you end up at the same frame as if you had advance 27 frames. So, basically, what I'm trying to say is, some frames you probably will never hit because of the NPCs movements.
For the record, I did RNG a Riolu at the Ranch. It just took me a while. I forgot how many frames the NPCs advanced it though.
