OK, time for my entry :3

shiny, male, lvl 70

Ability: Flash Fire || Nature: Timid || OT: Camilla 30703
IVs: 31/4/31/30/31/31 HP Grass 68​

I picked Heatran because it's really heavy! 7th heaviest Pokemon. Add both Heavy Slam and Heat Crash packed with STAB and that would make the lava monster even more hot thread than it is already! It doesn't learn any of those though and is more Special than Physical. Ball matches shininess and eye colour :3

Well, there are only three other entries, so I don't have a wide pool to choose from, go RNG something, do it for me :3

Wow, that entry is amazing! ^^ Gotta love those French abuses. Nice numbers and all, it'd go well with my HP ice Heatran! Too bad you can't pick your own entry, huh? ;)

For this challenge I thought out of the box for a bit and chose Solrock. Solrock isn't the heaviest Pokémon but it still is pretty heavy. It can use a range of fire type moves, so I thought it might be a good user of Heat Crash. It has Levitate so I figure it can just float above a Pokémon and use Heat Crash on top of it. Also it's the Meteorite Pokémon so that just shows that it has experience of crashing into things from the sky and crushing them.

Lovely entries, everyone! I'm really digging the dive ball Scolipede. ;)
Unfortunately, I don't think I'll do this one. :c

Hello everyone. I'm currently trying to RNG for the first time and hoping to be good at it like you guys. But im having a hard time in getting my SID :( Anyone here can help me? :) PM or VM

Have you tried sending a Pokemon to Pokecheck to check your SID? If you couldn't get it to work, wait 12-24 hours or whenever some of our members check in here. Someone should be able to help you out.

With regard to the discussion, I really hope they make easier to RNG on the 3DS/DSi, from what I've heard and researched it's a real ***** to do.

Now onto business!


OK, so this is an Onix. Since I don't have any friends it isn't evolved into a Steelix yet, but consider it as such. Right, so, Steelix is one big mother, weighing in at 400kg it's doing 120 damage with STAB (so 180; woo maths) to about uhm 509 of the total 649 pokemon in the game. Unfortunately it doesn't have the ability to learn Head Smash, but it can still make use of Rock Head by Double-Edging your face as well. "But, whatever shall we do about the 140 other pokemans?" Well, hypothetical stupid head, just double-edge them, you ain't takin' no recoil damage. "But what about ghost ty-" SHUT UP. Dusknoir? Spiritomb? Those jokers are RU tier anyway, but even still, Heavy Slam does 120 damage against them (80+STAB).
Seriously, this guy will wreck your sh*t. Also, this.



Uhh, howto youtube embed?

So after RNGing some wild pokemon (deino + roggenrola) I decided to start breeding. I literally just RNG this:

Charmander (m) Timid nature
IV's: 31 | 22 | 31 | 31 | 31 | 31
Scratch, Growl, Flamethrower, Sunny Day

Sooo.. I made a poke for the challenge @.@


Well, there is nothing that awesome about this, it's my first RNG after a really biiiiiig break and I'm still lazy :cer_shifty:
The true story about this poke:
- Hmmm..Heavy Slam, so it has to be heavy and learn Heavy Slam
*opens pokedex*
- Snorlax? May be Snorlax..
- But nah, he is to mainstream, so will be Munchlax.

The natures were chosen like "Hmmm... maybe I will use this someday.. or not" and..

yea, I'm lazy and not as awesome as you guys ._."

Edit: I forgot, about the NN, Grubas means Fatty in polish >.>

Woohoo, first!


This is my Gyarados, sixth in a long line of Thumpers before her. Since Pokemon Emerald, all of my parties have had a Gyarados in them. Why? Can't be terribly sure, probably because they're just so awesome. I mean, come on, you take a Magikarp, whallop some wimpy little pokemon over the head with it long enough and it turns into a goddamn sea serpent from hell. It also helps that Gyarados is one of the better non-uber pokemon, with it's pretty high 125 base attack it's my favourite physical sweeper in the game. Gyarados also possesses the highest base stat change between two of any evolutionary forms, that is to say, when it evolves from magikarp, it's average base stat rises by 340 points. With it's capability to learn earthquake, Gyarados also has perfect coverage from any bad type match-ups you may face. Gyarados was also the very first pokemon that I trained to level 100, shortly thereafter my save file broke and the original Thumper was lost forever. :( He's sweeping the elite four in a better place now.

But anyway, with it's amazing stats for a non-uber, it's brilliant movepool and total badassery, Gyarados is what I regard as my trusty talisman pokemon.

What are your speculations about B2W2's RNG mechanics? Will they change or remain the same? If you think they would change, how?
I would really hope and assume that they would stay the same, learning RNGing in B/W was hard enough, but to have to learn a whole new way would be annoying, seeing as how I want and need to learn 4th gen still.

Also for fellow Mac (the computer kind lol) users, PPRNG 1.10.0 is out now.

And does anyone know a good tutorial for Gen IV RNGing for Macs or someone that could teach me? Everyone that I find is for Windows.

Step 1: Uninstall OSX
Step 2: Install Windows
Step 3: Win Uninstall windows, install unix.

But seriously, http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?534245-*Revamped-RNG-Discussion-Help-Thread fourth post, try that. It looks pretty legit but I can't verify because I don't own a Mac. You could also try running RNG Reporter through Mono, but again, I haven't the foggiest idea of how you'd go about that.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Good luck, I guess.

That's for 5th gen RNG ^^;

My OS is Windows, I wish I could help.

Apparently the basics are the same from what I've read, but again, I've never used it, so I have no idea. Sorry.

Whoopsie, I only skimmed through it :L

Further on the discussion, I can't see them making RNG any harder in B2/W2. What with the introduction of the Masuda method and how much easier RNG is in B/W when compared to the others, if anything it'll get easier. The way it is now is good, I think, it's very time consuming, but fairly straightforward once you learn the basics.

This has nothing to do with anything, but I successfully did my first 4th gen abuse!!


May not be my lucky charm, but it does know Lucky Chant xD
