It's almost as shameful as when I did my Decolora Jirachi as 31/31/31/30/31/31

LOL, Dragon 68 just says you don't care about Hidden Power.

Also, I'd rather have 0 Atk than perfect HP with 2 or 3 Atk, because I can receive less confusion and Foul Play damage.

I wouldn't play the tourney if the prize was different.

Speaking of the tourney, I need to RNG some ubers, meh... I want to use Groudon and I don't have any RNG'D atm. I might get one.

I need your help guys. Has anyone here id/sid abused a 4th gen game in a dsi? Does the procedure change in any way? I've been stuck for days trying to id/sid abuse my SS, but oddly enough, RNG reporter won't find any result as if I'm not hitting anything. I need a delay to continue, but I'm sure I'm doing everything right, Iloveeevee can vouch for me. Please halp me! (I know I need a ds lite)

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but can any of the gift pokemon in Black 2 other than the shiny dragon be shiny? I wasted a lot of effort trying to RNG the Castelia Eevee to be female and shiny and apparently, It can't. Just want to make sure before I try to do something like this again.

Yes I can vouch for omi. :p He's doing everything correctly I've checked that for sure, but I don't know about RNGing on a dsi >.<

I'm not sure about shiny, but I know for sure the gift Eevee will always be male. There's also another gift Pokemon that will always be shiny. After you beat Black Tower in B2, you can receive a shiny Gible. For Pokemon that can never be shiny, there's Reshiram, Zekrom, Victini, any Wondercard Pokemon that is not already shiny, the event Zoroark, any Pokemon from the Dream World, and Hidden Grotto Pokemon. That's all I can remember that can't be shiny in 5th gen.

Ok, thanks for the info. Does anyone know if you can RNG an egg in one game and hatch it flawless and shiny in another?

Yes you can. The IVs are set when you pick up the egg anyway. The shinyness is determined by the TID/SID combination of the game you hatch on. Just change your TID/SID in your parameters to match the game you want to hatch it on.

I dunno if it works for anyone else, but I tried doing what mac said and it didn't hatch shiny. :/ I got the exact IVs and nature I wanted but it wasn't shiny. I don't know if I did anything wrong though. >.<

My RNG haul for the day:

Yes those were all RNG'd with the same seed, and yes I did that HP for Larvesta on purpose. It's actually a set on Smogon and I thought it'll be fun to do something different. :P

OMG that happened with me too, but with an Uxie. Lol, the trick is to never give up.

BTW, guys, I've been trying to forget about the incident with my friend and my Black 1 by competing with the VGC format and finishing my White 1.

I've already RNG'd a flawless Zekrom with Naughty nature at the first try and a flawless jolly Ditto for my breeds. Too bad I don't have access to internet compatible to my DS, so I could know my SID, but, as soon as I get home, I should get it.

Nice abuses, except my heart aches for all but marill, absol and drifloon because you can catch them with nice balls and keep their moves *u*


Didn't you abuse the same seed like... 5 times? XD

Yes I did, lazy y'know. I'm going through and finding everything that's good Adamant with the Ability 1 that doesn't need a Hidden Power. Saves a lot of time y'know o 3o I'll start doing captures after I get my emblem and then beat the game.
