Are there any resources on teams for fast BP farming in B&W 2? Preferably something that's fairly easy to put together (no Hidden Power, nothing obscure like Wish Blissey, etc.) Thank you!

You never know. Maybe in Gen 6, they'll make versions with Slow Start instead.

Is it possible to use the Shiny Egg finder, but not actually restrict it to shinies? I want to be able to put in the parent IVs, nature, ability, etc, and find seeds/PIDs that will yield that. However, I don't need to restrict it to only shiny Pokemon.

Are there any good resources explaining how the Pokemon AI makes decisions? I'm interested in any generation.

If you did create such an App, I think it'd be worth considering putting a two-stage timer designed for RNGing in it.

Yes! I managed to RNG a perfect wild Ditto in the Giant Chasm, without having Sweet Scent! Here's how I did it: First, figure out which PID I started on. I did this by turning in place on a bike, counting the number of turns, and capturing the first and second Pokemon I saw. Note that each...

That's what I've been doing, but it doesn't work as well as you might think, because of the way encounters seem to work. For instance, if I chatter about 1 to 8 times, my wild encounter will always have the same PID (but it'll take fewer steps through grass to hit). It looks like that to move...

My spread is frame 1, thankfully. :) It doesn't look like it would be insurmountable to combine the two. The only thing determined by the PIDRNG that I want to manipulate/predict is encounter slot, so I don't need a particular nature or anything. Right now, I know that frames 56 and 65 do...

Not quite. I'm trying to catch a Ditto, and can't use Sweet Scent to do it. I'm trying to figure out what determines whether or not a given step in a grassy area will trigger a random encounter. It seems to be related to the PIRNG -- if I advance the frame with Chatot, the PID of my encounter...

My understanding is that random encounters are trigger by the PIDRNG. Is there any way to predict which frames will trigger random encounters?

Does anyone have any suggestions for RNGing a Ditto this generation? I'm finding it to be hellish, because it's a random encounter in an area where you can't use Sweet Scent. I tried playing with the PID to manipulate the encounter slots, but because whether or not I get a random encounter is...

Hi Luke! Here are a few things you can do. If you write down your Pokemon's stats at each level (for instance, after feeding them rare candies), and put them in a stat calculator such as this one, you can help narrow down the IVs. Note that you'll also want to put in the Pokemon's phrase...

Fair enough -- thank you very much! I can't wait until Pokemon Gray or a Wii game comes out. It turns out that "storing them all" is almost as much of a challenge as "catching them all". At this point, I'd pay $10 for some sort of WiiWare PokemonBox.

No problem. One of the ideas behind posting the document was an implicit suggestion that I'd be happy to help out with cleaning up the guides as they are.

I'm working on a collection of Syncronizers, and don't have room for all 25. What are the top 6-8 Natures for competitive place? I assume Adamant, Jolly, Modest, and Timid are among them, but I'm not sure what else to go for.
