Most Generation PRNG Help / Information

Since Ditto's starting frame is 2, it's possible that you are hitting Frame 92 instead of 93. Sweet scent doesn't advance the RNG from my experience RNGing my flawless Timid Ditto.
 
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Would anyone mind pointing it out?

I'm trying to RNG my first caught Pokemon (Modest Trophy Garden Ditto from Plat). My coin flips are 100% spot-on, I've got the correct date/time, and I've been hitting the correct delay.. but it's not working.

The seed I found corresponds to Encounter Slot 6, which should have the daily Garden Pokemon. Instead of Ditto, though, I always run into the same Adamant Roselia. There're a couple of things I think I might be doing wrong:

1) I might be hitting the wrong frame. Ditto's on frame 93, so I flip the journal 45 times and use Sweet Scent. Is this correct?

2) I might be trying to RNG abuse the incorrect Encounter Slot. The Daily Pokemon only becomes yesterday's if you talk to the mansion's owner and replace it with a new Pokemon, right? I've had Ditto for a while, but I haven't changed the Trophy Garden Pokemon.


Your off by one frame :(
Flipping the journal 45 times would advance it by 90 and then one sweet scent would advance it by 2...
So you keep hitting a frame of 92 not 93
so turn ONCE before sweet scenting and you should have your ditto :)
And as long as the clock hasnt passed 23:59 the trophy garden pokemon of the day should saty the same
But if your unsure of that id check to see if it is still :)
 
too bad i already caught sudowoodo. thanks nexus, that pretty much clears up everything for me. ive been asking for days but couldn't get a straight answer like yours.
 
You do the frame advancements before battling Lance?

The act of saving doesn't change the seed? And I guess it just means I have to make sure I count my frames/steps accurately since there wouldn't be a way to redo it. Unless Raikou/Entei keep respawning each time I beat the E4?

Not sure on Kyogre but I don't believe Cune is considered a roamer for RNG advancement purposes.

Well I've heard people go to Mt.Silver to catch a high level pokemon, get the seed, beat the Elite 4, then do the frame advancements.

Anyone else have a response on these questions?

Is Kyogre frame 1?

Is Kyogre Method K?

Does Suicune count as a roamer?
 
method k isn't it? not many things are method 1 in my experiences. EDIT: whoops, didn't read it right. yes i think its frame 1 too. again, not too many things start on an off frame.

Forgot to ask since I'm not there yet, but can you just leave the Extremespeed Dratini for later on and just continue on with the story or do you have to answer those questions as part of the game?
 
One question here :D

Is it possible to RNG for a pokemon that is shiny AND has flawless stats at the same time?

More will come in the (near) future :naughty:

look at the post above yours

you cvan leave dratini but you must answer the questions. The elder gives you dratini after you answer the questions, leave Dragon's Den, and get TM dragon pulse form clair. The you cna pick it up at your leisure from the elder. The IVs will be generated once he gives it to you then NOT when you answer the questions (the questions only determine whether it will have extremespeed or not.

you can wait to get him.... but you DO have to answer the questions... he wont give you Dratini until you leave, talk to Clair, and then go back

If your ID/SID combination makes that flawless spread shiny, then yes. If you have your heart set on it, you can take the PID of that Pokémon and use a program posted earlier in this thread to find an ID/SID combo that will make it shiny, and then RNG for your ID/SID at the start of a new game.
 
Yes you can.
Including breeding?

Edit: Thank you Misdreavus. Btw, does RNG for a specific ID/SID combo at the beginning of the game affect only one particular pokemon? Or, does it make any pokemon you encounter/hatch onward shiny also? (Sry, I don't quite get a hang on this RNG stuff yet; tried it the first time this past Sunday and got one shiny Scyther w/ bad IVs)
 
Has anyone else had trouble advancing the frame in HG/SS by walking in an area where wild pokemon are? I tried it with the floor under where Ho-oh was in the Bell Tower, but my turns never advanced it. Maybe because I wasn't walking? Just wanted to see if I'm not the only one, so I can plan better for Entei and Raikou. Do we know their starting frames yet?

Wanna make sure I am reading you right, but fyi, I noticed a few things when I was RNGing my Ho-oh.

1. The zone Ho-oh is in has no wild poke's
2. There is one square above the ladder after you go down FROM Ho-oh's area that has no wild poke's

Hope this might help.
 
I just reread the secret ID guide and read you need a non-bred non-chained shiny. Damn, does this mean I need to find a damn random shiny in the wild before trying to RNG abuse for the dogs in HG/SS? I can't use the masuda method to hatch a shiny and use its IVs to find my secret ID? (I already caught sudowoodo, the last SRable pokemon...)

no... there are certain people who can help you find it without that stuff... just ask over at the requests/questions thread
 
What monster frame is Lati@s? Their IVs are set after you leave the PokefanClub, is that correct? Also, if you faint it, will it respawn after you defeat the E4 again?
