I clicked that link, clicked around for a bit, and found a brief explanation for how metronome works in gen 3. Do you have any idea how it works in other games?

Doesn't know how to attack
Sorry but no. I'd guess it works about the same way.
I doubt anyone looked into it too much because competitive players don't care about Metronome and people that make TASs only care about what can help them and the best Pokemon to use in other games can't learn Metronome. Speedrunners would care enough to learn how if it wasn't completely unpredictable without inhuman levels of RNG manipulation. There's not many people outside those groups that are interested in dissecting the game to see how random the most random thing is. Maybe try asking ROM hackers? There's some pretty impressive Pokemon hacks, so those guys have to know tons about how the games work. Then again, most of the impressive hacks are Gen 3, so...
Edit: Edited my post at the top of the page to ask for a Lure Ball Rotom, Dusk Ball Spiritomb, and a Defense Curl Pikachu. (lol)

I RNG'd a shiny Genesect a while back, i can give it to you if you're fine with receiving a clone
That's fine. We would have to link trade. My IGN is Kainoa, so look for me on Ultra Sun.
Hello. I was wondering if anyone has either of the Vivillon event patterns: Pokeball or Fancy. I'm willing to trade something good for them. Also, if someone has an Own Tempo Rockruff. I'll trade them as well.
My IGN is Kainoa on Pokemon Ultra Sun.
Edit: The Vivillon and Dusk Form Lycanroc have been traded and recieved.
Mod edit : Please do not double post. If you forgot to add something, please edit your previous post.

I have a pair of those Vivillons you can have for free. Idt the stats are anything amazing (iirc the IVs on the Pokeball are fixed) but you're welcome to copies if you'd like. PM/VM/HL me on here or discord. Just gonna reset my save so send me whatever.
Hi there.
I am currently looking for (Gen 7):
-Dream Ball Vullaby (preferably HA but not necessary)
-Dream Ball Skorupi
-Net Ball Tirtouga
Natures and EVs don't matter at all. Since these are pretty hard to come by nowadays, I would greatly appreciate any help.
In return I can offer a few somewhat fancy Ball/Mon combinations if someone's interested.
Gligar - Jolly
Magby - Modest
Aipom - Jolly
Gothita - Sassy
Mareep - Quiet
Edit:
Thanks to HVT and BH for the quick correction. My bad, I looked at the wrong page.
Trade completed thanks to BlizzardHero.

Just so you're aware but Vullaby isn't possible in a Dreamball prior to Gen 8 as it was never available in Gen 5's Dreamworld.Hi there.

HVT beat me to it, but yeah, DB Vullaby is an illegal ball combination.Hi there.

Regardless, I more or less have what you're looking for. I have DB Skorupi and NB Tirtouga, and if you want it, Heal Ball Vullaby (though it's not HA). I'll be available for a little while longer, otherwise I can give you them latter today. I only offer clones of my breedables atm, if that's okay with you. MSG me if you want them/when you're ready.
Haven't played in a while and been looking to get back into collecting a bit. Looks like rng in gen 8 is just for raid dens and tsv hatching no longer works the way it used to. Is the only way to breed shinys just by breeding hatching a bunch? Maybe use like masuda method to improve chances? Or is there a new gen 8 mechanic for this? Thanks in advance!
Masuda + shiny charm are your only options for breeding in G8.
Anyone has an RNG'd Vivillon with Poke ball pattern in gen 6?
I really need that one to finish my collection of competitive Vivillon.

If you're fine with an injected one, I can probably rng one for you sometime next week. Dm if you'd like.
I'm looking for a brave stakataka flawless 0ivs speed, ditto 5ivs 31, 0ivs atk for breeding and some Pokémon events of the period legends 2018 in gen7. For the trade i have competitive Pokémon, two ditto one 6ivs and one with 0ivs speed and some event of gen7. If u can help me contact me in private

Cool. Are you on Discord? We can chat there.
Yes, send me your dscord ID in private message. I don't Know if in this forum esiste private message but i think yes
Anyone has one of those Magikarp with Happy Hour in gen 6?
RNG with a good nature would be great.

Check out Anubis's VGC Giveaway.
LF: Pokémon events legit and stakataka brave nature 0ivs speed in gen7.
Let's say I used PKHeX to fill the Pokedex. I then go and talk to the NPC that gives the shiny charm to obtain it instead of hacking it in directly. Am I allowed to trade shinies I've caught on the save I've altered? I only did this because 1. I'm impatient and 2. These are older games.
Check out the section of the rules under "On Cloning, Hacking, and Glitches", it covers cases such as this.

If it isn't crossed out, I still need help.
I need help transferring 10 Pokemon from Gen 7 to Gen 8. (I'd trade them to your game, you'd transfer them, then you'd trade them to me on Home)
Asking for the following Pokemon in these Balls in Gen 7.
Spiritomb
Rotom
Spheal (I finally remembered to use Island Scan on the right day.)
Gligar with Immunity
Nidoran-F
Tympole
I can offer these Pokemon. I only have a 31/0/31/31/31/31 Dittos in Ultra Moon, but I'll make sure the Pokemon I give you have at least 4 31s. (or 3 31s and 0 Speed) I can also offer Gold Bottlecaps if you want them. (I know Eisen is giving away 6 IV Dittos but I don't want one. That giveaway is how I got the Ditto I'm using.)
Beldum - Jolly
Bagon - Adamant Moxie
Skrelp - Modest Adaptability
Snivy - Modest Contrary
Corphish - Brave Adaptability 0 Speed
Mimikyu - Brave 0 Speed
Slowpoke - Calm Regenerator
Charmander - Adamant
Oranguru - Relaxed 0 Speed or Calm
Swablu - Careful or Calm
Chansey - Bold or Calm
Porygon - Bold, Calm, or Modest
Pinsir - Jolly
Houndour - Timid
Mareanie - Calm Regenerator
Pyukumuku - Calm Unaware 0 Attack
Sandygast - Bold/Calm
Magnemite - Calm (Sorry for a "bad" nature)
I'm also looking for a few Pokemon that can't be breed for in Gen 7. Shinies aren't special to me unless I find them, so please don't offer shinies. I don't care about the Nature because Mints can fix those and Bottlecaps can fix most IVs, but I want Atk to suck because of confusion and Foul Play, so a 0 IV in Atk would be really nice if possible.
I can offer a clone of a Luxury Ball Softboiled Clefairy with a 0 Atk IV and Neutral Nature. Speaking of, if anyone wants to clone and share it, please ask. I'd like such an annoying to get Pokemon to be given away to anyone that wants one. I also have an Adamant Master Ball Sword Dance Shedinja named Shed Soul if anyone wants a clone of it.
Edit: If I haven't had help transferring them yet, I can have a 0 IV Atk Ultra Ball Zapdos or 0 IV Atk Dive Ball Regice cloned. The other IVs suck because I just wanted the 0 Atk.
Tornadus
Fenniken (Injected Wondercards are okay. It's only from a one week Japanese only Gen 6 Event and is locked into a Neutral Nature, so I don't expect many people to have one laying around.)
// 
Pikachu with Defense Curl (Gen 2 TM and Emerald Tutor. I'll gladly take any Pokeball because of how unlikely this is, but please give me a Safari Ball one if you have only Emerald. It's more special than Normal Pokeballs)
Honestly, I have no hope for the Pikachu, especially an Ultra Ball one because you have to catch it in FR/LG then trade it to Emerald. I'm just hoping that someone laughs at a request that stupid. Defense Curl/Charge/Rest/Recycle Leppa Berry Alolan Riachu is a terrible idea and I know it. I'd be better off being forced to "settle" for Magnezone, which can't boost its SpD.
