It looks like Cute Charm forces the PID to be a value between 0-255 (the gender value). That means 24 of of the PID's bits are going to be constant. Since three of the bits don't matter to shininess, that leaves only 5 bits to worry about.

In other words, with the right ID\SID, Cute Charm could force shinies to appear with a 1\32 probability.

EDIT: Seems to be for DPPtHGSS only. In 5th gen, PID generation works like Entralink generation, except the nature comes from a different frame.

Cute Charm in HGSS

Code:
n     - Initial
n + 1 - u16 % 0x64 = ESV
n + 2 - u16 % 0x03 = CuteCharm
n + 3 - u16 % 0x19 = Nature# 
  With Nature# -> Form PID
       Buffer [0x96 for 50/50] 
           (such that Buffer%0x19=0, still above GV) 
       + Nature#
n + 4 - IV
n + 5 - IV
First off, assume that Dark Ray's computer did not have a wonky time. Dark Ray was going to bed shortly, implying the game time would have been night time.

Zubat occurs on night time slots 4/5/8/10, which fits 2 consecutive ESV calc frames from method K. Oh look, the natures are there too! The IVs were from frame 4+5 and 5+6 for the two Zubat via method 1, which meant that all the calcs had to be done within 3 frames. ESV/CuteCharm/Level/Nature calc had to occupy 3 frames.



I was able to get the PIDs with the Gender Buffer method. With the new data following this post, I figured out the image is correct, and the structure in this post is correct for HGSS.

btw, Custom 6/7 don't access the right "Custom" or "Previous". Incorrect reference? Had to paste in the correct values to custom7.
 
8 more PKM for you, Female CC Iggly used for all of them, same seed and stuff as before, these are all from sequential frames (last nights Zubats were from frames 2 and 3, these are 4-11) these were all caught during Daytime ingame.

#1. 2 frames advanced by date rollover.
#2. ^+1 frame advanced by Irwin call.
#3. ^etc.
#4.
#5.
#6.
#7.
#8.

I can catch some more if you still need.
EDIT: From what I can see CC advances the RNG by 1 (activation check?) as even when I got normal pokemon they were 1 frame off from what I should have gotten.
It also looks like when CC activates it uses current method K frame for ES, current method 1 for IVs, next method K for nature and IDK what for PID.
EDIT#2: Proof that cute charm is useful.

Cute Charm in DPPt

Code:
n     - Initial
n + 1 - u16 / 0x290  = ESV
n + 2 - u16 / 0x5556 = Cute Charm check
n + 3 - u16 / 0xA3E  = Nature#
 this + buffer with a value such that %25 = 0 (if male) forms the PID
n + 4 - IV
n + 5 - IV

So basically I forgot that Gen 4 games don't have the level calc for Land Pokemon (no level range in the slots).

Reasoning behind the Buffering of CuteCharm PIDs

Code:
n     - Battle
n + 1 - ESV
n + 2 - CuteCharm (P/F)
n + 3 - Nature 
        Pass -> Buffer Method for PID
        Fail -> Loop Method (J/K) as usual
Code:
Game	CuteCharm	Nature			
DPPt	High16 / 0x5556	High16 / 0xA3E
HGSS	High16 % 0x3	High16 % 0x19
Basically it inserts a calc in between ESV/Nature
(moving resulting nature up one frame, compared to current J/K)

For HGSS (at least), the Buffer method adds a nonbiased buffer, whose %25 = 0.
They can just add the nature value (0-24) to the buffer to get a valid PID within the Gender Range that has the intended Nature.

Logic behind the calculation:
Code:
PID     = Buffer + Nature#
PID%25  = Nature#
PID%256 = Within Specified Gender Range
Code:
Buffer > Threshold
 AND Buffer%25=0

Female Forced CuteCharm would be fine with a 0 buffer, 
  because no matter the ratio, 0-24 will always be below it. 

0/[s]25[/s]/50/75/[s]100/125[/s]/150/[s]175[/s]/200/[s]225/250[/s]
      all %25 = 0, nonbiased buffer numbers
      But what about the Gender Threshold? Gotta be above it!

Ratio Thresh   Implied Buffers
1F|7M (32)  -> Female Forced = 0, Male Forced =  50 (0x32)
3F|1M (192) -> Female Forced = 0, Male Forced = 200 (0xC8)
1F|1M (128) -> Female Forced = 0, Male Forced = 150 (0x96)
1F|3M (64)  -> Female Forced = 0, Male Forced =  75 (0x4B)
One Gender Only -> 0, or CuteCharm doesn't go off at all (no calc, same J/K)
The image posted in my previous post was correct after all.

For the other encounter types in which level has to be determined (another call needed), the CuteCharm calc would occur before (just like in Emerald).
 
@OmegaDonut : I have made the procedure which is needed to calculate initial seed, with my French DSi and French White.

Here are the Pokémon.

My DSi's MAC adress is EF-E7-51-E9-A3-4B.
I launched my game at December 21st, 10:15:25.

OD's Note to chiizu: C74B7FB378FBE9C9 is the initial seed he got

I hope that will serve ^^ (even if I have neither a retail card of French Pokémon Black nor CycloDS iEvolution).

Method H in the Safari Park in RSE

In the Safari Park of RSE, if you have put a Pokéblock in the feeder where your player is, you'll get in 20 % of cases the Sync check (or directly a Pokémon with a random nature in RS); in the remaining 80 %, you'll get a Pokémon with a nature that likes the Pokéblock (if no nature likes the Pokéblock, goto Sync check).

Here is the Pokéblock structure in RAM :

Code:
typedef struct Pokeblock{
	// In the following order :
	u8 typeID;
	s8 spicyLevel, dryLevel, sweetLevel, bitterLevel, sourLevel; // If a taste != 0, it is present in the Pokéblock
	u8 feel; // If feel > 99, then feel = 99
	u8 unknown;
	// The global level is determined by the unsigned value of the highest taste level
}; Pokeblock
And let the nature's tastes lookup structure (also in RAM) be :

Code:
typedef struct NatureTastes{
	// In this order :
	s8 spicy, dry, sweet, bitter, sour;
	/* A nature's taste value is :
		-1 if the nature dislikes the taste
		 0 if the nature is indifferent to the taste
		 1 if the nature likes the taste
	*/
}; NatureTastes
Now, let the following formula :
All negative Pokéblock tastes (if this would happen) are replaced by 0.
Let :
Code:
const NatureTastes tastesOfNature[25] = // ... ... ... ;  
s32 doesThePokemonLikesTaste(u8 nature, Pokeblock const& pokeblock){
	return pokeblock.spicyLevel * tastesOfNature[nature].spicy + pokeblock.dryLevel * tastesOfNature[nature].dry + pokeblock.sweetLevel * tastesOfNature[nature].sweet + pokeblock.bitterLevel * tastesOfNature[nature].bitter + pokeblock.sourLevel * tastesOfNature[nature].sour;
	/*
	If the result is negative, the Pokémon doesn't like the Pokéblock
	If the result is zero, the Pokémon is indifferent to the Pokéblock. This is always the case for neutral natures (#0, #6, #12, #18, #24)
	If the result is positive, the Pokémon likes the Pokéblock
	*/
}

PokeBlock Success Calc

Emerald Only...

Since PokeBlock Calc happens before PokeBlock Check (which is before sync), we can assume it would be after ESV and Level (those 2 are essentially always one after another) but before Sync/Nature determination.

Code:
0 - Initial
1 - Battle
2 - ESV
3 - Level
4 - PokeBlock
 Fail
  a - Sync/Nature (failed block calc)
    a* - Nature (failed sync)
 Pass
  b - Build / Decide
    c - Sync/Nature (failed table)
       c* - Nature (failed sync)
Code:
PokeBlock

n     - Initial
n + 1 - ESV
n + 2 - Level
n + 3 - PokeBlock
n + 4 - Nature

PokeBlock Success: High16 % 100, if (0-79) pass, 
            check to see if PokeBlock is present. 
                               Else, do sync/nature.
Code:

H1's frame 6 has this spread but slot is normally 1 (8 is previous frame slot)
 
@Reject Monk Poop :
The "80 % calc" is done before checking if a Pokéblock is present (sorry, I forgot to add pseudo-code)

Code:
Fill listNatures[n] with n, for n from 0 to 24 included (increment by 1 every iteration)

Randomization (300 iterations) : 
For i from 0 to 24 excluded (incremented by 1 every iteration)
	For j from i+1 to 24 included (incremented by 1 every iteration)
		If ((rand() AND 1) != 0) // 1/2 chance (if PRNG result is odd)
			Swap listNatures[0] with listNatures[j]
		EndIf 
	EndFor
EndFor

Checking :
For n from 0 to 24 included (increment by 1 every iteration)
	Does nature listNatures[n] likes the Pokéblock in the feeder ? If so, select this nature
EndFor  

If not any nature like the Pokéblock : Sync ...

Okay, so last couple days MMX and I have been doing some testing on how much the rain and thunder Thundurus creates advances the PID. A few things we've been able to establish so far through our trial and error testing of a few different seeds:

-The rain Thundurus creates remains at ~420 PID Advances.

-Number of Lightning strikes may be associated with the number of advances or PID frame you would hit with only 1 strike of lightning.

-Even with multiple numbers of advancements, you still might lead to one frame.

Here is the link to all the data we've recorded for our tests and attempts to RNG Thundurus:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...GVKVWtKWnlFRGE5M1hhalBTbDZjUHc&hl=en_US#gid=0


So pretty much, one thing that I've noticed about that Thundurus that makes it different from Tornadus is the way you can determine if the desired PID frame is reachable or not. For Tornadus, if you hit 1 under or over the frame, you can't hit it. If you hit 2 under or over, you could nearly always hit the frame. For Thundurus, there seems to be an entirely different process for this. As you can see in the notes we have, I hit every possible number of advancements, but due to the amount of lightning on some advancements I couldn't hit the frame.

MMX and I will still be doing some more testing on different seeds to try and find more results. Any help is appreciated, so just feel free to pop in on IRC and help him and I with this. Thanks

PokeBlock to psuedocode!

Code:
n     - Initial
n + 1 - ESV
n + 2 - Level
n + 3 - PokeBlock       U16%100, if less than 80 (80%) pass.
   set b = 0
n + 4 - ???? (something? not related to one taste blocks)

--------------------------
Start PokeBlock Loop

       n + 5 + 3b - Nature#
       n + 6 + 3b - PID1
       n + 7 + 3b - PID2
Code:
if (PID2_PID1)%25 = Nature#
   -Pass -> Check if nature like the block.
         Yes -> Keep PID, generate IVs, break
         No  -> Throw out Nature# and PID, start loop again.
                    b = b + 1
   -Fail
               -> Throw out Nature# and PID, start loop again.
                    b = b + 1

if b = 300
 break loop, do Sync/Nature calc.
Basically the game does sets of 3 calcs (Nature, PID1 PID2), and does checks to see if it's a valid PID. Stops after 300 attempts.

Commentary on this Calculation and its effectiveness:

The chance for a given iteration to work is 
   (4/25) for a proper nature PID, 
     * (1/25) for a PID to match the Nature# the frame before.

25^2/4 = 157 iterations average for a success. 
Given 300 iterations, the cumulative distribution function implies 
        it won't be uncommon to go beyond 300 iterations 
        (and thus fail when it should pass).

Badly designed mechanic in my opinion :P
It's best to use the pure one-flavor PokeBlock, the FlavorDecide calc is always there.

Basically, 2 dummy calcs are added in to the mix for Emerald Safari if no PokeBlock is present. If there is one, it would go through this alternate PID finding method instead of the usual nature->PID loop.

If one were to add a Vital Spirit lead, it would be a gap of 3 (same as a failed sync+2).

I should just mention that Vital Spirit acts as a perma-fail sync.
 
I don't agree with your understandings. In fact, the PID is generated AFTER the nature has been determined. Here is some C++ (pseudo-)code :
Code:
void methodH(){
	buildPkm(chooseNature());
}

u8 chooseNature(){
	if (isPlayerinSafari() && (rand() % 100 <= 79) && isPokeblockSet()){
		//Safari Pokéblock routine
		u8 listOfNatures[25];
		for(u8 n = 0; n <= 24; n++) listOfNatures[n] = n; // Fill the list of natures

		for(u8 i = 0; i < 24; i++) // 300 iteration. Randomize the list
			for(u8 j = i+1; j <= 24; j++)
				if((rand() & 1) == 0){
					exchangeValues(listOfNatures[0], listOfNatures[j]);

		for(u8 m = 0; m <= 24; m++)
			if((doesThePokemonLikesPokeblock(listOfNatures[m]) << 16 /* Sign keeped if >= -32768 */ ) >= 0)
				return listOfNatures[m];
		goto SyncCheck; // If no nature likes the Pokéblock			 
	}
	else goto SyncCheck;

SyncCheck : if(doesTheFistPartyPokemonHaveSync() && ((rand() & 1) == 0) ) return natureOfFirstPartyPokemon; // Not in R/S
	else return (rand() % 25); 
}

void buildPokemon(u8 nature){
	u16 uPID = 0, lPID = 0, tempPID = 0, finalPID = 0;
	//BUILD PID
	while((tempPID % 25) != nature){
		lPID = rand();
		uPID = rand() << 16;
		tempPID = lPID | uPID;
	}
	finalPID = tempPID;
	//BUILD IV
	// ... ... ...
}

Ok that makes a little bit more sense. A few more tries I invalidated what I thought was true. But I do see it your way:

Code:
n     - Initial
n + 1 - ESV
n + 2 - Level
n + 3 - PokeBlock
...?
300x natures generated
...find first nature that likes block, set = nature#
Generate PIDs until %25 = nature#
I still don't understand the if "PRNG is odd, shuffle" part however :(

Code:
Seed	73C498CC
Frame 	324	Naive	425B447C

From the seed, first %25=naive occurs on frame
10
before the hit frame.

This nature is the first nature that likes the block,
     no shuffle required.
Code:
Seed	A855A882
Frame 	340	Hasty	EAA0C357

From the seed, first %25=hasty occurs on frame
6

This nature is the first nature that likes the block,
     no shuffle required.
Code:
Seed	112D68BB
Frame 	352	Jolly	AF3797E3

From the seed, %25=jolly occurs on frames
23

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST LIKING NATURE WITHOUT SHUFFLING.
Code:
Seed	B019BA60
Frame	336	Naive	425B447C

From the seed, first %25=naive occurs on frame
17

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST LIKING NATURE WITHOUT SHUFFLING.
I'm not a programmer, but I do get what's going on most of the time...
Only programming experience is a semester of MATLAB :(

Magnet Pull / Static in Emerald
First, we have to find out how it alters Method H to get the ability to work. We start by just generating random tests with a vBlank free version of Emerald on VBA-RR.

Code:
Seed: 7BE78549
Location: [URL="http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Victory_Road_(Hoenn)"]Victory Road 1F[/URL]
Code:
Advancements	Result		Pass(0)/Fail(1)
N + 0 (Serious)	Frame 2 H1
Slot 8 or 10	PASS		0

N + 1 (Brave)	Frame 3 H1
Slot 8 or 10	PASS		0

N + 2 (Careful)	Frame 4 H1
Slot 1		FAIL		1

N + 3 (Lax)	Frame 5 H1
Slot 0		FAIL		1

N + 4 (Brave)	Frame 6 H1
Slot 8 or 10	PASS		0

N + 5 (Gentle)	Frame 7 H1
Slot 1		FAIL		1

N + 6 (Serious)	Frame 8 H1
Slot 8 or 10	PASS		0
Notice that there's a gap of one frame between the method H frame and what we should have hit. The ones that altered the slots had a different calc then the regular ESV determination. We see that all the fails follow method H, but all the passes have different encounter slots.

By using logic of call placement... this means that there's a total of 1 extra call, with a replacement ESV calc if the first one passes.
From the previous section, we've seen that there's one extra call that doesn't mess up failed attempts. So it has to go before ESV so that the example fails are predicted properly. If the ability passes, the game has to decide which slot to choose. So after this first decision it will branch to 2 different calcs, direction depending on the first result.

Call Order
Code:
n + 0	Initial
n + 1	Decision
         |->Pass => n + 2 v-Slot#
	 \->Fail => n + 2 ESV
n + 3	Level
n + 4	Nature#
But wait! We don't know how these 2 new calcs work! Time to go to Researcher.
  1. We mark the passes 0, and the fails 1. Look back up, I've already done this.
  2. In researcher, we see test various calcs to get a matching string of numbers.
    • The calc that works is "High16 % 2", which is identical to the sync calc!
    • For ease of calculating in game, we'll use High16 & 1, for the same results.
  3. Ok, so now we know how to predict if the ability will activate. But how does the second decide which slot to pick?

Unfortunately Victory Road only has 2 steel slots (and they are identical level/pokemon). Time to choose a new place from the game's encounter slot table.

Granite Cave B1F has a good set of slots, and it's where we head off to now. Lets use the same seed, but RAM Hack it back in to the seed location so that our results are consistent with the first set we already observed.

Code:
Seed: 7BE78549
Location: [URL="http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Granite_Cave"]Granite Cave B1F[/URL]
Code:
Frame	Result
1	Slot 4 (3rd Valid)	2
2	Slot 3 (2nd Vaild)	1
3	no pass			x
4	no pass			x
5	Slot 3 (2nd Vaild)	1
6	no pass			x
7	Slot 3 (2nd Vaild)	1
8	no pass			x
9	Slot 2 (1st Vaild)	0
If we look left to right on the Encounter Table, we can see that there's 3 slots possible to be picked from.

  1. Let's call the leftmost steel-slot "1st Vaild", and going right we call 'em accordingly. The above list dictates this.
  2. For all the failed frames, let's put a x, because the game does %100 for the ESV (which we observed for a failed first calc in the first test). We can't know those values.
  3. Now we assign "1st Vaild" to "0", "2nd Vaild" to "1", etc.
  4. Now we have to find a calc such that we get the proper numbers.
    • High16 % 3 works!
    • If there's a different amount of valid slots (this example has 3), we'd just replace 3 with the # of Valid Slots for the location.
  5. We've got our 2nd and final calc. Now to post-up the final call structure the game uses!

Call Order
Code:
n + 0	Initial
n + 1	SlotForce
         |->Pass => n + 2 FVSlot
	 \->Fail => n + 2 ESV
n + 3	Level
n + 4	Nature#
Calculations
Code:
SlotForce	High16 & 1	If 0, Pass. Do FVSlot
				If 1, Fail. Do ESV

FVSlot		High16 % (#Valid Slots)
		Left to Right selection, no slot preference!
SlotForce - Force a certain slot with typing according to the ability.
FVSlot - Find Valid Slot, in which left to right valid slot# is used.

@OmegaDonut : I have made the procedure which is needed to calculate initial seed, with my French DSi and French White.

Here are the Pokémon.

My DSi's MAC adress is EF-E7-51-E9-A3-4B.
I launched my game at December 21st, 10:15:25.

OD's Note to chiizu: C74B7FB378FBE9C9 is the initial seed he got

I hope that will serve ^^ (even if I have neither a retail card of French Pokémon Black nor CycloDS iEvolution).
Please verify the above seed details, including date (year of the date is 2011, correct?), start time, MAC address, that there were no button presses, and that the C-Gear was never turned on. I have searched Nazos in the range 0x0275F800 to 0x02761800 for seconds 25 to 33 with no matches. I will have limited time to work directly on this for the next few days so I will set up a larger search range that I can leave running, but if something is indeed not correct in the above information it would be good to know sooner rather than later.

I think we can be assured that the C-Gear was never turned on, because if that had happened, I would most likely not have found an initial seed that matches the IVs AND the starting frame that corresponds with the natures. Tux got Quirky and Naive, in that order, and at the starting frame for C74B7FB378FBE9C9 (49) the first two natures are Quirky and Naive.

Nazo: 0x02760230
Timer0: 115c

And as requested, here is a download link for my Nazo searcher.
Some notes:
  • This program requires OpenCL 1.0, which I believe is available from the major video card manufacturers. On Macs, it can be run on the CPU as well.
  • This program is not user friendly; it requires recompilation in order to search for a new seed, or to adjust the Nazo search range. The parameters are set as variables at the beginning of the DoFullSearch function. The program also expects the OpenCL code file to be located in a particular directory relative to the executable, so change that as appropriate.
  • I took a sample OpenCL program from Apple and adapted it for this, so the code is not particularly clean. Also, it probably won't compile on Windows without some modifications because it makes use of a some Mach functions available in Mac OS X for time measurements. Those are easily removed or replaced with appropriate equivalents.
  • The OpenCL code contains functions for different integer vector sizes because I was testing which size worked best. For running on my CPU (I have a lousy graphics card) it works fastest using uint8 vectors, so that is the version I ended up optimizing (by working in a 16-word buffer rather than an 80-word buffer and unrolling all of the loops in the SHA1 hash code). Switching to use a different vector size requires tweaks in the C++ code that calls the OpenCL code in order to set the work size correctly. Switching to using the GPU requires a change in the device type argument of the first OpenCL call in the main function.
  • Since we know the general range of Timer0 and VCount for DSi now, the search could be made a couple hundred times faster by limiting the Timer0 and VCount search ranges. I prefer the complete coverage (also I couldn't be bothered to do it), since it doesn't generally take all that long to find the result anyway.
  • It's probably safe at this point to start on an odd-numbered 16-byte aligned Nazo value and increment it by 0x20 each time to cut the search time in half.
  • Pretty much none of this code is in PPRNG, except for the optimized SHA1 hashing code. PPRNG uses a similar concept of building the message once and only modifying the bits that change between each seed in order to save on search time, however. (I really am planning to release the PPRNG code soon...)
  • Standard Disclaimer: I make no promises that this won't destroy your computer in some way.

PokéRadar Abuse
trying to be more transparent/verbose with the research process and conclusions so that other people can see how this works

After chatting a bit about the lack of stuff to do, the topic of PokéRadar abuse popped up. We are all now very familiar with how each game likes to handle calcs. OmegaDonut said he had a seed which produced a shiny Radar patch with a count of 39. Seed - 1E3863CE.

We know that DPPt almost exclusively uses the div operation ( / ), so let's take a look at the seed.

In researcher, we see this:
Code:
0	1E3863CE
....
6	0098BB4C	0098	BB4C
I've only shown frame 6, as it is an "Extreme" seed (low/high). Take a look at that High16. It's really low, which would indicate that if this calc was the one that determined shininess; it would likely be 0 after the determination. For now we assume it is a div operation, but what is the calc?!

  • From the onsite article, the chance of a shiny patch at a chain of 39 is 1 in 400.
  • After the div operation, the High16 must be distributed between 1 and 400.
  • Adjust it to RNG numbers, you have (0,399).
  • The High16 ranges from 0 to 65535.
  • 65535 (max value) / div value (rounded down result < 400) ensures (0,399).
    • div value = ~163.838. That's not a round number.
    • To ensure that it is always within (0,399), the div is instead 164 (0xA4)

Ok, so we then do High16 / 0xA4 [HEX], and lo and behold our ShinyPatch determination comes out to 0, being true! We then test similar low-value seeds and we see that this is a valid description of how PokéRadar determines whether a patch will be shiny (for a chain of 39).

Hold on, we have to make sure the probabilities for all of the chain counts are correct. Turns out, they aren't!

====================

Correcting the Onsite Article

The game does operations in steps, flooring between each one. If we take the given probability calc:

Code:
Probability = floor((14747 – 40 × c) ÷ (1640 – 40 × c)) ÷ 65536
Remove the "÷ 65536" and we actually end up with the div the game uses! So what's wrong with the article? The probabilities aren't right.

  • The High16 values the game uses range from 0 to 65535, it's just Hex. (0x0 - 0xFFFF).
  • If we divide the maximum value of the RNG by the div (65535/div) and floor it, we get the maximum value.
  • Do the same for the minimum value (0/div) and you get a max/min distribution of (0,Max).
  • How many numbers occupy this range? Max+1.
    • This is our probability of something being shiny. 1/(Max+1)

Now we re-generate the list of probabilities, and you are left with this:
(Download Spreadsheet)

Code:
Chain	Probability
0	1 in 8192
1	1 in 7282
2	1 in 7282
3	1 in 7282
4	1 in 7282
5	1 in 6554
6	1 in 6554
7	1 in 6554
8	1 in 6554
9	1 in 5958
10	1 in 5958
11	1 in 5958
12	1 in 5462
13	1 in 5462
14	1 in 5042
15	1 in 5042
16	1 in 4682
17	1 in 4682
18	1 in 4370
19	1 in 4370
20	1 in 4096
21	1 in 3856
22	1 in 3641
23	1 in 3450
24	1 in 3277
25	1 in 3121
26	1 in 2979
27	1 in 2731
28	1 in 2521
29	1 in 2341
30	1 in 2185
31	1 in 1986
32	1 in 1772
33	1 in 1599
34	1 in 1395
35	1 in 1192
36	1 in 993
37	1 in 800
38	1 in 596
39	1 in 400
40+	1 in 200
Compare this to the Onsite Article (example: chain=37). The odds are worse by ~1 for a few of the chain values!

By working it out with knowledge of how the game computes, we see that the onsite probabilities are wrong. The Onsite Article did not do the flooring when calculating the probability; it instead rounded so that the c=40 chain was 200 instead of 199 (to make it line up with actual data, wrong thing to do!).

Improper Rounding was done like this: =ROUND((1/(FLOOR((14747-40*c)/(1640-40*c),1)/65536)),0). It should have been floored and +1. All the numbers that rounded down caused the discrepancy of 1.

How would the game decide what is in a (would be) shiny patch if the chain was 0? Nothing is chained! We still have to make sure that this is actually how the game acts!


====================

So now that that's cleared up, we are now left with the actual div values the game uses to determine if the shaking spot is shiny or not.

Code:
Chain	DivDec	DivHex
0	8	8
1	9	9
2	9	9
3	9	9
4	9	9
5	10	A
6	10	A
7	10	A
8	10	A
9	11	B
10	11	B
11	11	B
12	12	C
13	12	C
14	13	D
15	13	D
16	14	E
17	14	E
18	15	F
19	15	F
20	16	10
21	17	11
22	18	12
23	19	13
24	20	14
25	21	15
26	22	16
27	24	18
28	26	1A
29	28	1C
30	30	1E
31	33	21
32	37	25
33	41	29
34	47	2F
35	55	37
36	66	42
37	82	52
38	110	6E
39	164	A4
40+	328	148
But what's the overall call order that happens when the PokéRadar is activated?

  • There are confirmed cases of double shiny patches, thus it doesn't prevent multiple patches.
  • Shifting the example seed forward or backward 2 frames causes a different patch to appear shiny.
  • The game doesn't waste frames for no reason. All are used.
  • Certain low value seeds should create shiny patches, but don't.
    • The Pokemon of the patch doesn't match the chain.
    • The Pokemon of a patch is determined before the patch's shiny determination.
So what we're dealing with is a set of 2 calc for each spot.
Even frames determine Shiny. One would think that GrassType(Slot)->Shiny is the most logical answer. But how is the placement determined?

We are now a little ahead of ourselves -- the overall structure of the PokéRadar calls has yet to be ironed out!

WORK IN PROGRESS

just so we can see what happens and make sense of any debugging if needed

Calls following an Activated PokéRadar

First we must chain something. If we don't have a chain, we can't have any shiny patches.

By noting the current seed BEFORE and AFTER activating the PokéRadar, we can find out how many calls happen if we activate it. If we try it a few times with different seed, we can see that the current seed after activating is 12 frames after the initial. So, 12 random numbers are used to calculate how the PokéRadar gives patches.

We know that each patch requires 2 calls (for ESV and Shiny). That leaves us with 4 position calls, and 4x2 calls for ESV/Shiny. Perfect!

Upon further observation (first 4 call debugging courtesy of Bond697), we see that the game calculates position with 4 different divisions - 0x20, x18, 0x10, 0x8. After the 4 positions, slot and shiny are determined. But how does the game position?

Code:
Div values the game uses to determine position: 
High16/(position div)
0x20, 0x18, 0x10, 0x8     -> 

Possible Range: 
0x20	0x0000-0x07FF
0x18	0x0000-0x0AAB
0x10	0x0000-0x0FFF
0x8	0x0000-0x1FFF

3x3 perimiter = 8 (3 bits)

Code:
0    - Initial
1    - Position1
2    - Position2
3    - Position3
4    - Position4

56   - ESV1/Shiny1
78   - ESV2/Shiny2
910  - ESV3/Shiny3
1112 - ESV4/Shiny4

However, we can't assume that it will allow for shiny-notchain Pokemon.
The game doesn't allow for shiny patches with a non-started chain (c=0)

The patch farther away gives you a better chance of seeing the same kind of Pokemon in a row. That's the feeling I get, anyways.

conversation arose in IRC about hitting funny keypresses. Since we didn't have a list of every single one (1506 different ones!) I decided to permute all possible theoretical keypress states the game can have (some may not register?)

(13*9*13) - soft resetting combos = 1506

Stepping into ANY patch at ANY chain length:

Code:
n     initial
n + 1 ??
n + 2 ??
n + 3 nature
      pid
      iv
m + 1 ??
m + 2 ??
m + 3 ??
m + 4 ??
m + 5 ??
*m + 6 ?
*m + 7 ?

five calls after PIDIV generated, 2 calls before nature.
unrelated calls below?
then there's another single one when the battle shifts start.
and another when you start throwing your pokemon out
--------------

If I move to make certain shaking patches outside of the area, they simply won't spawn. The game only does 4 position calcs, and based on the valid positions it does 2*valid calls. It compares between the two sets of calls (position and ESV/Shiny) to determine type somehow. Instead of finishing this it was decided to finish up Chatot confirmation for gen 4 (High16 & 0x1FF * pitch >> 13, essentially %8192/AAB) and for gen 5 too. It's gonna be displayed in a 0-99 pitch scale because it's not 3 distinct levels.
 
Hi, I'm new to smogon; is there any chance I could jump on board with this research? I've studied and done research in cryptography/PRNGs/Hashing algos at multiple Ivy leagues and I think I could help...

I tried to make the Lua easily readable, and made the onscreen HUD a little prettier by making +/- numbers spaced proper.

edit: pretty sure everything is tidied up

There's another flag that determines if the chain is continued (at least I think that's what it does). It's between the Enabler and Shiny Flags. Too lazy to get pointers for the table and player position, so that's gotta be manually edited as a setup stage.

RNG Abusing the Pickup ability

This seems to be the best place to mention this. It occurred to me just yesterday that a very useful application of RNG abuse (one which non-hacking players like myself would find highly appealing) would be to abuse the Pickup ability, specifically the non-battle effect of the Pickup ability.

What drove me to look into this was the simple yet stupid way that Game Freak made the wifi room battle rules this gen. Forcing us to train every Pokemon to level 100 for 6v6 singles was a huge slap in the face of every non-hacking competitive battler out there.

So as nice as it is to have good old RNG reporter level the playing field in terms of IV's and Hidden Powers, there is still no way to quickly level up those perfect Pokemon, and so many will turn to AR or some other hacking device, just for the sake of hacking those hard-to-get Rare Candies.

But for us bold few who want to resist that temptation, there is still another way to save up those Rare Candies, and all it involves is beginner-level RNG abuse.

From some simple experiments that anyone could do, I have discovered that you CAN abuse the Pickup ability, and it is very easy.

What I know so far can be summed up as follows:

Let's say your team of six (Pickup ability) Pokemon consists of Pokemon A thru F, with A being the lead and F being the sixth member. You hit some random seed, immeadiately (Frame 1) encounter and defeat a wild Pokemon, and by happy coincidence, you discover after the battle:
1. Pokemon A is holding a Rare Candy <<<< Just an example
2. Pokemon F is holding a Max Revive

If you hit this same seed again (you can remove the items and save first), and have a well-behaved Timer0, the SAME POSITIONS in your team (the 1st and 6th members in my example) will be holding items again, as long as they have Pickup of course, and are not already holding something.

But that's not all!

The items being held can be changed by thinking of them as being analogous to Encounter slots. In this case, we have "Item slots." The SEED is what determines the item SLOT for a particular team position (and whether there will be one at all; remember, Pickup only grants an item 10% of the time). What determines the specific item is the Pokemon's LEVEL. So by replacing the 6th member of my example team with a much lower or higher-level Pickup user, we can change that Max Revive into almost a dozen different items if we so desire.

So let's say that positions A and F on my example team each have a Lv92 Aipom. In another position, say, position E, I have a Lv42 Lillipup. By looking up the item slot tables via Wikipedia, Serebii, etc we see that Aipom F picked up the item in the last column of the "Uncommon" Pickup items. That column represents the ITEM SLOT for that team position. We also see that, in this same column, there is a Rare Candy in the Lv41-50 range. By switching my Lv42 Lillipup with Aipom F, saving, and hitting the seed again, I check my result....
....and find positions A and F now BOTH have Rare Candies!

I hope the above paragraphs are clear. Let me know if there are issues. Ideally, the best thing to find would be a seed that yields 3 or 4 items after the first battle. The logic is all there, all that's missing is the computer program ("P-UpRNG Reporter" ??) to allow users to find ultra-rare 5 or 6 item seeds with the Item Slots they want. Rare Candies, PP Ups, Nuggets, and more. As many as 6 every two minutes.

It's almost as fast as hacking. And the best part.... it's not hacking.
