♠ The Art of RNG ♠ | RNG Guides [OLD]

[Gonz0]

ok, nooblets, I was busy fiding some hidden eggs :3
my entry:

shiny, male, lvl 52

IVs: 30/31/31/13/31/31 || Ablility: Technician || Nature: Jolly

So 4th Gen brought some cool stuff for this o'd Bug-type Buddy - Techinician. Also, it got bunch of cool moves including Bug Bite and Roost which are very useful on 5th Gen spread I want it to run:
6HP/252 Atk/252 Speed @ Eviolite
Swords Dance/Roost/Bug Bite/Aerial Ace

The best thing is that Scyther gets awesome defences with eviolite, Swords Dance boosts it Attack to horribly high level, and it's dual STAB combo gives it awesome coverage. this is meant to be flat set, so it won't get hurt by Stealth Rocks. Roost is for tanking hits. IMO, Scyther can compete with his older brother - Scizor. It aged very, very well. I hope my Pokemon will be useful in battles!

[Mac]

Nice RNG, bro

My recent RNGs... yeah, I've done just a few lately. Most have been BPs, actually... but I can't trade them too easily right now due to working way too much. Fifth gen breeding... gotta love it

HEY YOU THERE
challenge is about to end in like an asplosion of a second.
expect results soon. Good job, everyone!


edit: 12:53 AM - RESULTS !!! -tosses confetti-

Spoiler:

My pick for this week's challenge: Gonz0's Scyther
Great color, format and matching ball. I like how he listed the actual EV spread + moveset in addition to explaining the strategy. Scyther is an age-old Pokemon who began its young career attacking with Slash/Hyper Beam. Yikes! Scyther gained the impressive Scizor, but both manage to gradually improve over time by gaining many new toys (Technician + BB/Roost + exclusive eviolite). For these reasons, I feel this entry is more distinguished from others and fully represents the challenge. Cheers.

Lots of good entries (I built a quick criteria and everyone was fairly close in points, haha!).

[Gonz0]

OMG! Thanks, Blade! You really made my day! :3
Mac, nice abuses! I like Poochyena and Abra the most
Time for the new challenge:

Heavy Slam Challenge!
Heavy Slam is a move, that gains power when the user overweights its opponent. RNG a Pokemon which - in your opinion - would make a good use of the move. Heavy Slam is a new move - introduced in 5th Gen and it's limited to only few Pokemon, so you have to RNG a possible or actual user of the move. And don't forget, that Heavy Slam has it's Fire equivalent!

This time, I am judging, so I'm going to focus not on the actual weight but on your reasons why you chose that Pokemon not another. Heavy Slam sounds more catchy that Heat Crash, but don't hestitate to abuse possible users of that move as well! Good luck, everyone!

[CrazyMrHans]

I just know that I'm going to get ninja'd out of my entry for the challenge by someone else. Stupid dream world needing to "recharge".

[Sydian]

I like Poochyena and Abra the most

Poochyena is my BP. ;3 Ain't he cute? Anyway, I have an awesome Pokemon for this challenge. WOO.

He is cute! I just noticed that I messed up on the Shinx and will have to redo. I forgot the egg moves :B

[Gonz0]

Yes Sydian, you've got good taste, lol.

Bro, get on gmail, I need you XD

[Mac]

I did the challenge.

Munchlax ♂ Lv. 1 ★
OT: Ginny | ID: 51120
Nature: Careful
Ability: Thick Fat
IVs: 31, 31, 31, 9, 31, 31 Dark 59
EVs: Untrained
Moves: Tackle, Curse, Pursuit, Whirlwind
Non-Redis

Munchlax is the baby evolution of the former king of the heavyweights, but now is only the sixth heaviest Pokemon -- Snorlax. Snorlax actually learns heavy slam, but he's also been known for being a lazy, fat Pokemon. I thought his baby form would be an excellent choice for this challenge because Munchlax is actually quite the viable Pokemon himself with the item Eviolite. I tacked on three egg moves thanks to Rampardos -- Curse, Pursuit, and Whirlwind to give him some variety if one wants to go different ways.

I can't wait to see everyone else's abuses! Good luck and have fun all.

[CrazyMrHans]

I need to RNG a flawless cacnea for breeding with spikes and what not. What's the best way to go about this? Would I be better off importing one with dodgy IVs and breeding in B/W, or is it better to generate it in Diamond?

[Gonz0]

Mac! I like Munchy a lot, nice egg moves, you're the leader of the challenge now, lol. (if you know what I mean)

@CrazyMrHans,
You can't get it RNGed in Diamond, sadly. Sandstorm doesn't advance frames, but blocks Sweet Scent, and there's no way to get rid of sand :< get a crappy cacnea from 4th Gen and RNG it in BW.

Ngaw, oh well, saves me having to learn how to RNG in D/P/Pt. Is it easier or harder than B/W?

[Gonz0]

100000000(bilions of 0s later)000 harder, but still quite easy

Of course I'm the leader of the challenge, I'm the only entrant right now! xD

It's harder, but it's also because it's different. I like it (especially HGSS RNG), but it's nice to go back to BW sometimes due to the ease of use.

I wouldn't say that much harder xD trololo

[CrazyMrHans]

God dangit. Before I even try I have a quick question, how difficult is it to get a breeding pokeman from the DW, *SPOILERS* I need an Aron with heavy metal for the competition. I don't know if I'll have the time to get one that can breed, what with the time restrictions on the challenge and whatnot, I'd like to know if it's relatively simple or not.

tl;dr Aron w/ heavy metal from DW, possible within a few days?

[Sydian]

That ability isn't available though.

That's what I meant

Here comes the new topic:
What are your speculations about B2W2's RNG mechanics? Will they change or remain the same? If you think they would change, how?

Mac told me they'd be exactly the same, so I'm sticking with that. xD

Just posting a complete idiot moment - I missed my time three times in a row for the current challenge by hitting 32 instead of 37. I kept thinking "two seconds past the dot..." but it was the wrong dot lmao. So yeah, thick moment, time to catch my Scoli!

I HOPE they'll stay the same, but I'm not sure they will :( :(

HERE IS MY ENTRY TO THE CHALLENGE



Aron ♂
Rock Head|Adamant
31|31|31|0|31|31
Tackle|Head Smash|Earthquake

I chose aron because I think he'd be a great user of heavy slam, as he is the heaviest user of Heavy Slam that gets STAB from it! It doesn't really need Heavy Metal because it's already in the second heaviest tier. Heavy slam is even on some of his sets, but if you want you can use Iron Head for consistency.

[Samboanoritzon]

Hi, I just started RNG abuse only yesterday. After countless attempts I appear to be beaten. I tried to RNG a flawless Kyurem using different frames but still, everytime I catch it, it doesn't have flawless IVs. At first, I setup my DS parameters following a guide on YouTube. This is what im trying to search:

Method: IVs (Standard Seed)
Encounter Type: Stationary Pokemon
Min/Max Frame:
1/5
IVs all 31 except def and that's it

Basically, what am I doing wrong? Is the method selected correct? Is the encounter type also correct for capturing Kyurem?

I'm sorry to sound like a NOOB, but I really want to succeed at this and half the guides on the interwebz at the moment confuse me/aren't simple enough. And some people's guides have outdated RNG reporters, which is confusing also.

Thanks!

Edit: I would upload a picture, but, this is my first post... :Z

[AlexOzzyCake]

For the challenge: RNGed a shiny Venipede in Lostlorn Forest and leveled it up to 30 with rare candies. It has 31/31/31/30/30/31 in IVs (UT) and was caught in a dive ball. I don't think there's anything else interesting to say about it but yeah, there we go! Oh, plus its male. Scolipede is perfect for using Heavy Slam! It's a huge fatty that can roll up into a big ball of fat and just be obese all over people! Plus it's the heaviest Bug type and it looks freaking badass.

I really hope it stays the same and I really think it will, since I believe it's built on the same engine as Black and White... so looks like it should be similar, if that's true at least. I'm interested to find out, that's for sure. The leak of CoroCoro definitely has piqued my interest for B2W2, though.

I am going to ask one question for now and hopefully this will nail the problem. Which IVRNG frame (where you search the capture tab for IVs) is your seed on? If it's on anything but 1, you will have issues right now.

Nice abuses, both of you! Good luck B)

I have tried it about 3-4 times on Frame 1 and I also tried it twice with a frame of 4 (I had 4 pokemon in party and walked 128 steps).

Edit: I tried RNG abusing a Shiny Flawless and I'm currently struggling through the Chattot advancements. I'm fairly certain I was 1 frame away from my Shiny which kind of sucks but oh well I'll keep trying.
