Starting a battle with a wild Pokemon will make frames advance by 4 instead of 2 (in Omega Ruby). For USUM, standing in the castle in the center of the Festival Plaza is the fastest way to advance frames. Flawless wild shiny frames will always be ridiculously high given the odds of encountering a Pokemon that is both flawless and shiny when there are 0 guaranteed IVs.
Hai hai! Do you have a shiny charm?
I`m guessing it`s because you need to check Same Dex Number box.
Grotto Pokemon can't be shiny, so there's no need for your SID. With that said, if you want to know your SID you can transfer up a Pokemon with your Gen 5 OT to gen 6/7 and use KeyBV (software), or transfer up and ask someone to check it for you...such as me (PM me if you're interested) ;)
Hello! There's no way to RNG the seed on FR/LG iirc so you 're gonna have to soft-reset manually for a decent seed that has your spread on a close frame, I usually try to find one within 20 million frames. You could also just use a lua script that does the soft-resetting for you but I currently don't have acces to it so I can't send it to you :c
Thanks for your answer, well if you happen to have access to that lua script or at least know where I can find it, let me know. Thanks anyway
You can find the original script by admiral_fish here, but I and a few others around have found that it doesn't work as well as you'd hope so I've made a few edited revisions of it to improve it, I think the most recent one is here: https://pastebin.com/Hk1uqG5W
Thanks so much!!
Our guide and this guide on reddit suggest using SpindaPainter to determine which frame you actually hit. Essentially you breed a Spinda then enter its spot pattern into that site to determine its PID. From there you can find what frame you hit, and how to update the eontimer. This is for calibration of the eontimer. Once you go through this process, you should be able to keep all the settings in the eontimer the same until you hit your target frame with the actual Pokemon you're after. Never tried it myself, but it seems like a good place to start.
Hi,
The calibration value to use in reporter will never be 0, I've never used eepid but if it says 0 then it's wrong. afaik the calibration is usually 18 or 19. Easiest way to check without spinda painter is to get an egg on a fairly early frame (with no redraws to make life easier for yourself) and then transfer it up to a Gen where you can get someone to check its PID then (do from here on even if you're using spinda) search for that in reporter with different values (I tend to start at 17 and work my way up 1 at a time) until you find it, then that'll be your calibration value for that save.
The IV's aren't linked to the PID you get in gen 5. Unless you happen to know what exact PID you happened upon, you can't.
The PID is random, right? Is there a way to RNG abuse for it?
Iirc, the method of PID generation for the gible (and dratini/haxorus) can't be abused for in normal means because the PID is modified to always be shiny. I don't believe the RNG reporter supports this method of PID generation for wild Pokemon (which, fun note, may also mean you'd have trouble RNGing for a specific gender/ability). The way in which the PID is forced to always be shiny may preclude the math to determine your SID as well, but I'm not sure since I don't know how the PID is formed. Either way, I think you'd need some external tool/method to check the PID, in which case you could just check your SID.
Gonna preface this with I have no experience :P But I'll take a stab at it anyway.
