I have a few questions about RNG'ing a Hidden Grotto encounter. I'm trying to get a Vulpix from the Abundant Shrine. I started out by reading this guide:
http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3473442
Everything in there makes sense, except at the end he mentions "RNG'ing the actual encounter."
-What does he mean by that?
Also, by the looks of it, doing it the way he says doesn't allow for selecting the IVs, so it would only be good for breeding purposes. So, I figured I'd just do it on the main screen of the Time Finder.
-Does that work?
I would use Hidden Grotto encounter type. That brings up more questions.
-What encounter slot am I supposed to use?
-Is there a table I can look at?
In that guide for the other screen, he mentions needing to know which grottos are empty.
-There's nowhere to put it in on the main screen of the time finder, so does it matter? If so, where do I put that information in.
-Once I have all the info in, is this the right steps to RNG the encounter?
-Load up the game with the right time/date/keypresses, in the empty grotto.
-If, for example, my starting PID frame is 50 and my target PID frame is 100, I listen to Chatot 50 times.
-Then, I run 256 (or more) steps inside the grotto to make the grotto regenerate.
-Leave and re-enter, catch Vulpix.
