    Excellent entries for the challenge! I come to you all with a new topic of discussion.

    New discussion topic:
    What type of RNG abuse can you do? What are you interesting in learning how to do in the future?

  • At the moment I can only really catch Pokémon that you have to click on like Terrakion or Musharna and hatch Pokémon with the desired IVs, nature, shiny, etc in 5th gen. I would like to learn how to do random grass encounters, C-Gear and Wonder Card ones as well though. I'm using PPRNG and would love someone to teach me. I would also really love to learn 4th and 3rd gen RNGing too.

  • What type of RNG abuse can you do? What are you interesting in learning how to do in the future?
    I can do breeding and capturing (mostly legendaries) abuse in Gen 3, 4, and 5. I would like to do complicated captures (e.g. Headbutt, Shaking Spot, Swarm, fishing, etc) or Entralink abuse someday but they don't really appeal to me. I don't like fancy balls too much just to spend hours doing entralink abuse. .-.

  • What type of RNG abuse can you do? What are you interesting in learning how to do in the future? Well for now, the only RNG abuse I can do is breeding and capturing (stationaries, wild grass/cave, wondercard) on Gen 5. I'm using PPRNG beings how I'm on a Mac and one day, I'd like to be able to learn Gen 4...but I'm content with Gen 5 abuse for now.

    On another note...two of my latest abuses...

  • Yo! I doubt this is the right place to post this but i'm doing it anyway, so don't get mad at me ;_;

    I've been following the RNG abuse guide in the OP, and am trying to find my Timer0.
    I'm positive that i'm following all the step correctly, and doing everything right, but when I click 'Search' in RNG Reporter after finding the IVs of the Pokemon I caught in Victory Road, it always comes up with 0 results.

    I'm fairly sure i'm doing it right too, because when I use the same time more than once, I end up catching the same exact Pokemon.

    RNG abuse sounds fun and i'd love to be able to do it D:

    Right now, I can do eggs in Platinum. Aaaand I can do eggs and wild captures in Black. And wondercards...I think. lol :( I'm trying to learn how to RNG stationary Pokemon in Platinum and get better at eggs in Black. I'd like to learn eggs in HG as well, and stationaries. I just wanna get pretty stuff that I like. :3c

    Please post your MAC address, Game version (White English for example), IV range, time/date, and your DS console and I will see what I can do to help you. Double check your MAC address, by the way.

    Are you turning on the C-Gear when you're attempting to calibrate? That's the only thing I can think of.

    As for the topic of discussion...What type of RNG abuse can you do? What are you interested in learning how to do in the future?
    I can do breeding, capture/stationary, and wondercard RNG in B/W, and shiny egg and ID/SID abuse in D/P/Pt. I'm trying to learn capture/stationary and egg IV in gen 4 right now, though I'd love to learn Entralink sometime.

    Try to download Microsoft's .net framework. Just google around for it... if that doesn't work, do the below.

    Register on this website and post your problem in this thread. Make sure you list what version of RNG Reporter you are using.

    Caught a weird Bird Pokemon which can't fly, Pokedex says it can't but somehow it can learn HM02...

    Since I have French Diamond and Soul Silver and now I have Japanese Black. Be sure you'll see many abuses from those games!


    small announcement:
    Starting with next challenge, Mac, TwilightBlade and I will choose the best abuse of each challenge and it will be the mascot of the thread until the end of following challenge. Do your best and be the chosen one!​

    What type of RNG abuse can you do? What are you interesting in learning how to do in the future?
    Okaaay...there's Breeding Shiny Pokemon in Platinum. That's it. I'm interested in doing Wondercard Pokemon RNG abuse (Gen IV and Gen V), but there are two challenges to both.
    Gen IV: I still don't have the Wondercard (planning to do Pokemon Ranger Deoxys) and the delays...are a royal pain in the neck
    Gen V: I use a flashcart. Every time I start up my game, the parameters that I get would have a weird Actual Seconds rate. Instead of 26 like how TwilightBlade's guide had, I got a number that's around 32. (If I still have my DS Lite, I could do it easily)
    I'm also going to try RNG abusing for good IVs (Gen IV and Gen V). And like the Wondercard Pokemon RNG abuse, there are two problems.
    Gen IV: delays. Delays. DELAYS. My only problem.
    Gen V: flashcart. Flashcart. FLASHCART. My only problem.
    Maybe I'll edit this post with a Shiny Pokemon after my DSi XL's battery is full.

    I've checked my MAC address a few times and i'm sure i've got it right.

    MAC address: 0009BF4790A0
    English Black version
    IV Range: HP - 13-15, ATK - 31, DEF - 29-31, Sp.A - 10-11, Sp. D - 20-22, Speed - 4-5.

    Oh well, I got two of my favorite bw shinies myself, finally.
    They both got in the first dive ball @ asleep and 90% health. ;-;
