See, that's the thing. Unless I'm getting ridiculously lucky every single time I have caught my target Heatran (11 so far), then I'm not doing anything wrong.In your post, something is wrong because you say you're at 1647 and did 204 flips, which is 2055. That is not 2065, probably just a typo somewhere.Yes the second was a typo, it should've been 1646 which is what I wrote earlier in the post.
The 1637 + 5 for walking is 1648, so you did something wrong since you're not at 1647.
When SS in cave, I think its 8+ previous monsters method 1 frame, and that number will get you your method J pokemon you would get next if you SS again.
You used the Method J frame, I used the Method 1 frames.
Target 2065.
Current: 1646 +5(sweet scent), +1 (Heatran), +5(128 steps), +408(204 page flips)=2065
I have done the exact same thing every time I've targeted a frame so I'm very confused right now. As I said I've been taking the method 1 frame of my SS pokemon and have advanced from there and still hit my target.
I know for sure (unless this is because I'm using method 1) that SS is +5 in caves because when I have tested initially I have always had +6 (an extra 1 for Heatran) for method J of my SS pokemon.
Again sorry if this is nonsensical.
