Okay, I need some basic help on RNG captures. (i can RNG hatching no problem [ for IVs and Shinyness] ). What Method do I use, how do i figure out what frame i'm on?
I can help you more indepthly through either PM's or VM's if you'd like. But to start you off.
Firstly, what game are you capturing on determines what method you use. Method J is DPPt, K is HGSS. Method 1 is for either.
Frame works the same as the Egg IV's part, just call so many times to advance your frame. Just a bit different with captures, but mainly depends on where you're capturing at, or who you are capturing.
For instance standing legends usually have a frame of 1. Meaning you call 1 frame behind your target, but the roamers have different frames.
With wild poke captures, you're going to need a Synchronize Poke, such as Ralts or Mew, having the nature you're going to want to capture the wild poke for. Also a Poke with Sweet Scent, nature doesn't matter, level doesn't either just has to know Sweet Scent.
Also an important note to think about, captures are a lot more difficult to find shinies with good IV spreads as you only use 1 seed rather than 2 like with breeding. So you must have a good ID/SID combo for good nature + IV's + Shiniess. As your ID/SID determine shiny.
If you have any further questions, you can PM or VM as stated above, I can capture both in DPPt and HGSS, so I'd be glad to lend you some help.
