♠ The Art of RNG ♠ | RNG Guides [OLD]

[Iloveeevee]

Yes! Definitely bring the challenges back. I don't care how you do it just bring them back! I had just learned how to RNG when the challenges were ended. I agree with Wiilio's idea. Once a month will give everyone enough time to complete their RNGs and polls to choose the next challenge would keep the interest in the challenges going. I really do miss the challenges since I can RNG now and I couldn't before when there was challenges.

Now for my latest RNG that I've done. Thanks to TheGr8, Gonz0, and Mac, I am now battling VGC style since "Singles are for the weak". I needed one more mon to complete my team and so I decided to RNG it myself. Enjoy my first RNG'd mon for doubles:

Lv. 50| Modest | Intimidate
30/30/30/30/30/31
Draco Meteor, Heat Wave, Hydro Pump, HP Flying
OT: GARRET | 57203

A huge thanks to Mia for doing the BW2 Tutor for me. This Salamence wouldn't have been possible without her help.

[Wiilio]

That's a very nice Salamence there EV!
I sincerely hope that this "singles is for the weak" business is a joke. Seriously.

I'm making an Ubers team that I'll never use because no one battles Ubers, but I've always wanted to get into it so I figured I'd just get a team and learn if/when the opportunity arises.

So these are the breedable members:

Larvitar
Nature: Adamant
31/31/31/x/31/31
Egg moves: Pursuit, Stealth Rock


Ferroseed
Nature: Sassy
31/31/31/x/31/x
Egg moves: Leech Seed

And two new ones for me:

Gligar
Ability: Poison Heal
Nature: Impish
31/31/31/x/31/31


Drilbur
Ability: Sand Rush
Nature: Adamant
31/31/31/x/31/31

Future members that will be RNG'd as soon as possible:

[Jolteon*]

A new Bagon. I was wondering, could somebody with Black 2 or White 2 teach him outrage

Bagon | Naive | Sheer Force
31 / 31 / 31 / 31 / 31 / 31

A shiny Virizion NOT in a Heal Ball? WHAT IS THIS?

Refreshing. That's what it is. Good job mia.

Just got this lil' gemstone:

Keldeo
Nature: Timid
31/2/30/31/31/31
Calm Mind / Surf / Focus Blast / Hidden Power (Ice 70)

I think I will either go Hydro Pump / Focus Blast or Surf / Secret Sword as long as I'm not using it competitively. All power or all accuracy. Meh meh meh.

Either way, I love this thing :D

The first time I've ever driven to an event :D Got one on each of my games... also hooked up Blade and Gonzo!

[DusknoirZac]

I have a question. I've been RNGing with my DS Lite for a while, and now I'm trying with my new 3DS. Is there much change at all? I haven't hit one seed yet, and I think I'm doing something wrong. I've done the DS parameter thing to check what Actual Second I hit and it's always 37 and I put that into EonTimer, but I still never hit my seed. Any suggestions?

[Psiiionic]

Zac: The 3DS has about 7-8 seconds delay so you have to hit about this amount of seconds before your target time. I would suggest if possible for you to use you DS Lite when you RNGing to make it easier.

Mac: Nice Roamers !!!

[DusknoirZac]

But the thing is, the top screen broke so it doesn't stay open and the A button hardly works. So I just really want to figure it out on the 3DS. When does the internal DS clock change back to 0, as soon as you hit "Okay" to change the time?

Yes.

Also, I've hit an actual second time of seven more than I have eight, just to give you an idea of where you should be hitting.

[Mac]

With a 3DS, all you have to do is start the game 7 to 8 seconds before your target time, instead of 1 second. It's a little bit of an adjustment but the more you do it, the better you will get at it. The most important things are this: don't give up, and don't get frustrated. If you do, you'll never get it right

[Wiilio]

No more Dawn, Mac? :p

It's very nice to see these new RNGs, as well as more people getting into it. We have quite the community going here!

As some of you may know, my computer recently crashed. I had some .pkms stored on my computer, saving them for BW2. Thankfully, nothing overly important was lost (My teams, my super speshul Garchompz), but I did lose all of my Zekroms besides the Choice Band one, as well as the Pokemon I RNG'd specifically for BW2: Modest Thundurus (still have a Timid one on White), shiny Kyurem (for Black Kyurem), and Landorus (for Lando-T). However...

Landorus
Nature: Adamant
31/31/31/15/31/31


Kyurem
Nature: Lonely
31/30/31/31/31/31

...got em back

[Team Fail]

Love the tutorial you guys have. I've looked at it for a little bit, and attempted to RNG myself (I came to the conclusion that Masuda Method is waay too time consuming).

So I presume on a DS Lite/Phat, when you start the game, you start it 1 second before the time listed in the Time Finder? My first RNG was almost what I'd hope it would be, a shiny, adamant, male Charmander, it just wasn't shiny, when I want it to be so.

Did you enter your TID and SID correctly? Also yes you start your game one second ahead of your target time.

And Wiilio, it was time for a change.

I used the SID and TID from some Pokemon I added to Pokecheck a long time ago on the same save file, so they haven't changed and should be correct. I'll start again and hope that I get the desired results.

I play pearl.

I don't really get how to hit target time and delays. I usually just use whatever time and delay I get when I enter the game and then just find a seed from that.

Good luck. You probably just missed your frame. And flyers nice work hopefully soon you can get delay hitting down.

[Team Fail]

Knowing me, probably. This time, I was a little closer. The frame I got was frame 84, but my target frame is 78. So I need to figure out a way to better identify what frame I am on to make this a little easier. I don't think I can go backwards in frames, can I?

I'll keep my RNG results open and try again tomorrow.

No, you cannot go backwards in frames. The best way to identify which frame you are on is to not use an Everstone when breeding. That way, you have many different natures that should help you identify which frame you are on.

I didn't have an everstone in use, actually. I did check another seed this morning, and I managed to (With accuracy) identify what frame I was on, so I reset, did my frame advances with Chatot (40 of them), and obtained the egg. I ran around and hatched it, and...

Charmander
Adamant

Since it was my first time, I wasn't going for stats, I was going for the fact that I can manipulate the game into doing what I want it to, which was getting it shiny, and have a good nature. I think I did good for my first attempt. c:

[Zeruel X]

Hi I have tried doing this.. But i can't get it to work can one of the experts give me their skype so they can walk me through this?

[loucas]

hey guys how are you? i'm back, finally.
AND omg. i missed a hell lot of challenges.

Oh might as well post this ))

i've tried finally, to rng my 4TH gen games. i did a go for my desired ID first, after three tries, i've got it! but it didn't have good seeds so i deleted it.

what i can't figure out is this, when i tried to rng my starter at 4th gen, it says i should use method one in time finder, but when i put it in the RNGreporter, it doesn't add up, it frustrates me.

[Live in Color]

I tried following the Trade Corner's RNG guide and I'm quite confused, and was wondering if someone could help

I followed everything, perfectly I'm sure, where I get my DS parameters and use them to try to generate Pokemon spreads. I narrow down my search by choosing specific IVs and whatnot so that it's a fast search, and I've tried changing the month, the year, the nature, etc. to try to get it to work but no matter what I do I never generate any times. I'm unsure of what I'm doing wrong.

EDIT: Here's a screenshot of what my DS parameters screen looks like:

Spoiler:

Here's a screenshot of my Time Finder screen:

[TwilightBlade]

this thread brings back so many memories Hi Live in Color, I can't quite think off the top of my head about what would be the problem. Can you post screenshots of RNG reporter? Maybe you're not entering something right or your search is too narrow.

Feel free to hop on the trade corner chatroom and someone may be able to help you.
