okay I still need help on encountering shinies so it would be nice if anyone could help. ^^
I generated a seed then then right clicked and selected calculate encounter slots.
I'm gonna use the one thats says "sweet scent grass/cave" and I got the number 7.
So the thing is that I don't know my next step!! xD
I'm guessing I have to pick that seed, and if I hit it, do I use sweet scent 7 times and I will encounter the shiny pkm?
anyone please help. ^^
Encounter slot just means which Pokemon you are going to encounter, on that window that pops up, there will be links at the bottom displaying the different games. Choose the one you're using, CRTL + F and type in the route/cave you're going to be abusing it. Find what the slot 7 says, and that will be the Pokemon you encounter.
Encounter slots do not mean you need to Sweet Scent 7 times. It is just a way to determine who you are going to see when you sweet scent.
So when you hit your seed (verified by Elm Calls), you than advance the frame with Elm Calls.
Just as an example I'm going to say you're desired frame is 30.
You're going to call 10 times to see if you hit the seed. So 10 frames advanced already. You are than going to call 18 more times to make it frame 28, than sweet scent right after the 18th call. As sweet scent advances the frame by 2 when it's used (sometimes it's 1, it's different for each save. You will have to see what it advances by, but you're probably going to have luck with the 2), so that means the Pokemon on frame 30's encounter slot will have the spread of that frame.
You can only get a shiny encounter if your Trainer ID and Secret ID matches up with the PID of that spread. So you are going to have to see if your ID/SID will be able to make it shiny.
Finding random ID/SID's with good spreads are rare, you might have to ID/SID abuse to get that special shiny capture.
And sorry for not replying to your PM.
