♠ The Art of RNG ♠ | RNG Guides [OLD]

Hurrah my entry. I'm a bold and daring heroine, right? :^)

Gardevoir ♀
Bold | Telepathy
Psychic | Focus Blast | Will-O-Wisp | Shadow Sneak
31 | 0 | 31 | 31 | 31 | 31​

Oohhh yeah I would love to have psychic powers! I would really like being able to see the future too, haha. I can use my powers to protect those important to me... I kept the egg moves too because I can't forget my roots now! With great power comes great responsibility, yup yup. Gardevoir also has a nice costume/dress. ;)

Very interesting challenge. Ill do this as soon as i wake up tomorrow :)

And owner's choice for challenge #18 is...

Aww thanks blade :3 you da bess!

Entry :3

Nuuu, Sydders, you aren't allowed to go have fun without us :(

The beginnings of Project Clair!

Project Clair will be me RNGing every Dragon-type there is (pre-evo, fully evolved, and legendary) and training them for competitive use.

Onto the goods:

More to come!

EDIT: Like this one!



As for the discussion topic, I will do whatever is easiest if I can. However, I recently did runs through Platinum and HeartGold RNGing every gift/stationary Pokemon I could (HG: starters, red Gyarados, Ho-oh, etc; Plat: Eevee, Porygon, starter, etc) and I didn't have the tools to do it the best way early on. For example, in Plat, when RNGing... pretty much everything (Eevee, Porygon, Chimchar, Rotom, Drifloon, Riolu, Togepi), I hadn't gotten to the point where I had the coin flip app yet. So I had to catch/receive/hatch the Pokemon, check its IVs, and from that, find out what delay I had hit. It was pretty brutal, but it got done.

EDIT 2: Here's another one

EDIT 3: Last legendary dragon (that I need, anyway)!

Hey guys, I know it's been a hell of a long time since I've been here.. But I've been learning a lot more stuff and I RNG abused this lovely sea creature <3

Now, before I get into what I RNG abused.. I want to tell you the state that I live in. I live in the state of florida, the state of sunshine and sea life. Florida has a plentiful amount of marine life, and for a good reason! A peninsula would naturally have many places for aquatic animals to live, along with beautiful homes for them in the sea. And so, I present to you,

Okay.
AngelZodiac.
That is an amazing RNG.
Whether you win or not, my sincere kudos to you.

Thanks Wiilio, it took me a bit to accomplish. I'm so bad at hitting my delays xD I'm pretty much a noob, this is like.. My seventh or eighth RNG abused Pokemon.

I really appreciate your kind words =)


Edit: I might as well add in my thoughts on the discussion. For me, I've always understood everything incredibly easy.. I don't want to sound full of myself but that's how I've been since a long while ago. From the moment I started RNG abusing I was constantly trying to find new ways to do everything, learn about everything. That's the type of person I am, I LOVE to learn about every possible little detail about everything. So, I guess I started out simple and learned more complex RNG abuse such as that manaphy, and have come to understand things such as the %6 mod of the PID which is used for Tornadus/Thundurus capture. I still have to catch Tornadus in my Black.. It's been three restarts so far because I'm a complete failure and I under-predicted the SSF =p

For my challenge, I decided to RNG a Honchkrow to represent South Australia. One of South Australia's AFL teams, and the one I (and Nica) support is the Adelaide Crows. At first I thought of the generic Kangaskhan for Australia idea but it occurred to me that no one here really talks about kangaroos, no do we actually see them in the city. The Adelaide Crows are the more popular of the two AFL teams in South Australia and their logo is seen all over the place. I decided against a shiny Honchkrow because the Adelaide Crows's team colours are red, yellow and blue, which I think Honchkrow matches pretty well. I decided to hatch her in Nimbasa City, or the Big Stadium to be more exact because of obvious reasons and I gave her the egg move Brave Bird because a lot of people look up to footy players for their bravery.

@AngelZodiac: Your Manaphy is very lovely, perfect for representing Florida! -high fives-

@Discussion topic: Do you prefer to RNG in the simplest way possible, or do you use more convoluted methods because that's how you originally learned? Please explain how you RNG when you answer.
I'm all trial and error, bby. So, I come up with all sorts of quirky 'short cuts' um. I've asked around and apparently I am the rare one who listens to Chatot pitches. I match Chatot pitches to verify that I hit my seed and will advance to the frame. It hasn't failed me yet (assuming I'm not high on caffeine). For example, I set up my Chatot's cry by blowing air into the mic. The sound is just static/snow stuff, but I can accurately distinguish between very high pitch and very low pitch. If I hear three high pitches in a row, I check my table to see if I get a pattern. I don't know the shifted frame but I look for these Mid-High or (better) Highs in a row. I can follow along down the rest of the table to see if Lows and Mids match too. They do, lol. UHH

For HGSS, I use 2 roamers (I found them effective in finding the delay, without the need to check the 3rd roamer). Also, I RNG abused with the AR in and starting at 00 seconds, so my calibrated second would be very high, like 34-35 instead of say, 15 seconds. I had to let go of the AR to get a standard calibrated second, and to better use EonTimer. Thanks, teech!

I am really stubborn and think my way is best because I know what works for me... -.- I have unnecessarily given myself a headache because I am not abusing "by the book" or whatever. I am trying different methods, as per Gonzo's and Mac's love and encouragement. I just prefer RNG abusing my way, which I already believe to be the simplest way... because I understand it and it got me results, haha. When I was drafting the gen 5 guide, I was surprised there were several approaches to finding the shifting frame in eggs. Who knew something so umm 'direct' as RNG could have branching approaches...

tl;dr I am nuts and I still attempt to teach people my convoluted ways.

@Challenge:

Wingull ♀
Modest | Rain Dish
Water Gun | Rain Dance | Hurricane | Knock Off
31 | 31 | 31 | 31 | 31 | 31
Hatched at Undella Bay​

My entry is totally surpassed but... Here's Wingull! I also live in Florida, which is known for its beaches. There's always tons of seagulls around. However, Florida isn't 100% heaven on earth. We often get tropical storms and hurricanes hitting our shores. I leveled up the parents so the baby would inherit Hurricane. I've never experienced a truly horrible hurricane but... As long as I'm in Florida, there's a chance. :'( Knock Off is there because it is a cool egg move, but my city has a very high crime rate. :/

Notably, an elderly NPC named Mr. Briney owns a Wingull named Peeko. Florida is well known for having lots of old people, haha. Cheers.

There's many water and flying types entered in this challenge! :)

*Gladly accepts and gives high five* ;o Next I'm going for a flawless shiny Mew in japanese emerald.. I think SID abuse is going to be the biggest part.. Then I just have to hit frame 176 million Ohohohoho!

Gonzo and I listen to Chatot pitches as well, blade (Or at least, I think it was Gonzo that did). It's very useful indeed.

My entry for the challenge is below!


So yes, I did Garbodor to represent the huge piece of trash country that I live in named the United States of America. I shouldn't have to explain that sentence too much, so I won't bother. I gave it a neat variation of egg moves thanks to a Ferrothorn parent I had sitting around. ^^ I named it after Mt. Trashmore in Virginia Beach. Since I'm from Virginia, I thought that was appropriate.

As for the discussion, I tend to find the simplest way to RNG and do it. If I'm doing a more complicated way such as using elm calls to verify seeds and I find out about another way, such as roamers, I switch to roamers. I've done this and it's much easier to verify my delay ^^ Blade does some crazy stuff, but I'm glad that I'm finally getting her to see the light. I don't listen to chatot pitches because I'm tone deaf so I have a pretty hard time handling them. :(
