Awww happy to see another one of my little Swablu getting into RNG. :) Nice Tangela, Rogue!

Anyway, I had known about RNG for a long time cause I saw some videos of it. I tried to get into it in maybe ummm...09? But didn't have a way to get my SID so yeah gave up then. Then I started talking to Mac after making a BP in his thread (which is mine also now!) and I started going to trade corner chat and the wonderful people in there, and Blade's guide, helped me learn. :) Too bad I haven't done an RNG in so long lol. :(

Also, I'm trying to catch another Pokemon. I'm on the step where you copy your seed to clipboard after finding it in the time finder, and then you paste it into the box on the main window (after selecting Gen 5 PIDRNG and having all the other necesities filled in/selected). When I paste any seed with "None" for Required Lead, the rest of the process goes smoothly, and I am able to RNG the target easily. However, whenever I paste a seed with anything requiring a cute charm lead, my match doesn't show up on the list. ;n; (I'm using the latest version of RNG Reporter, btw) Anyone know what's wrong? I'll provide screenshots if needed.
I'm guessing you didn't enter the cute charm option on the main window. It's hidden under the syncronize button, click on that once and it lets you choose what type of cute charm you're using. The frames are slightly different depending on whether you choose that option or not ;)

Challenge #22:

Imagine yourself as a rising warlord in Ransei! RNG a Pokemon that would have a perfect link with you!


For those that don't know, this challenge is based off the linking system of Pokemon Conquest, the new Pokemon side game that many of us can't stop playing! In this game, each Warlord has a Pokemon species that they have a 100% link with. The maximum link percentage would be 100%, but if they find another Pokemon, it might be anywhere from 30% to 90%, and some Pokemon are just not compatible at all. Each Warlord has a specialty that they focus in, which would be typing, e.g. Grass. A Grass-loving Warlord might have a perfect link with Carnivine. So basically, RNG a Pokemon that you not only love, but one that would be perfectly bonded with you. For bonus points, you can go on to describe your Kingdom if you're so inclined.

The question might as well be "What's your favourite pokemon" ;p try as I might, I couldn't separate my favourite from what my best link would be.


Lucario ♂
31/2/30/31/31/31
Timid nature
HP ice 70
dark pulse / dragon pulse / aura sphere / nasty plot
Life orb

To be perfectly honest I RNG'd this a few days prior the challenge, but I've already RNG'd 3 lucarios and I didn't feel like making a brand new one.

I like all elements equally, I have never been able to imagine myself as just one element. Psychic type is propably the best thing to a balanced user of all elements, but they lack the physical endurance and prowess which are a big part of me too, so a psychic fighter it is. Curiously, Lucario is the highest special attack fighting type after the legend Keldeo. Even the main psychic type gallade is more physical than special offensive.

I like the surprise factor of this set, and it suits lucario better as a psychic fighter, since it is an aura pokemon. With timid nature, this will outspeed anything below 103 base speed if they don't have a speed nature as well.

Turns out that you were right! I wouldn't have guessed that the synchronize button could change. Thanks! Now more RNG'ed stuff from me will be on the way. ;)

Edit: One step forward, two steps back, as they say...

I went to hit my seed (I was attempting to get a Mawile in 1F of Challenger's Cave, where there are no moving NPCs to advance anything), and that's when things got weird. Well, without chatters, I hit an encounter slot 1, Hasty Woobat. With chatters, I got a Mawile, but it wasn't shiny, and it was Lonely. I checked my RNG reporter to see what was up, and the lowest ones I could have hit for each are 233 for the Hasty and 320 for the Lonely...needless to say, something went really wrong. I've tried many times, with and without chatter, and I get the same results each time. I even tried elsewhere, I went to the Giant Chasm Plains to attempt a Ditto (even though the gender ratio didn't match, I didn't think it'd matter since I was just testing). Same results there as well.

Cute charm is ruining my RNG hopes and dreams. :( Once again, if any screenshots are needed, let me know. I hope I'm not asking too many questions either

I would love to join this club :D
I've been using RNG abuse since August of 2010, and I have mainly been doing it for fun as a past-time (not so much for trading). The first RNG abused Pokemon I obtained was a Shiny Oddish on my Pokemon Diamond cartridge. RNG abuse is a lot harder on Diamond than it is in White, however, so I didn't RNG for long after that. I think I bred somewhere between 10-20 shiny Pokemon on Diamond before being burnt out and only doing a few RNG breeds once in a blue moon.
However, this all changed once Pokemon Black and White came out. I got a copy of each game and completed White. Then, with help from Smogon I learned how to RNG abuse for shiny eggs on B/W, and discovered it to be much easier than on Diamond. So, feeling ambitious, I opened up a Shiny Giveaway in June of 2011. During that giveaway, I ended up breeding over 70 shiny Pokemon over a span of about 20 days. During the giveaway I also learned how to breed for IV's as well. After that crazy giveaway, I went on to do an RNG 'run' so to speak on my Black version. Though I never finished that run (due to school starting), I got experience in abusing the RNG for ID/SID, stationary Pokemon, and gift Pokemon. That was my last major bout of RNG abuse; the only other things I've done RNG wise since then has been small things like Secret Santa and the like.
Now, for at least the summer, I hope to participate in the club and the challenges so I can keep on learning RNG abuse.
(tldr; can I join the club?)

For now, I'm going to think about (and work on) my entry for the challenge ^^

Did you walk 128 steps to advance your IV frame? If so, it may be the problem.

Thanks for the tips :)
I just figured I might as well make an introduction post before randomly posting xD
Hopefully being active in this club will get me back into RNG abuse :)

I just did the normal steps to hit a seed, did my chatters (if I was going for the final results), then used Sweet Scent. Didn't move an inch. I'm pretty sure I filled everything out correctly in the RNG Reporter as well.

Here's my challenge entry:


Lv.1|Female|Jolly|Guts
31/31/30/30/31/31
Leer, Pursuit, Crunch, Stone Edge
OT: GARRET|ID: 57203

I wanted to RNG a Pokemon that was a favorite and an awesome battler but that would also match the challenge. An Eevee would have been my first choice but I had already RNG'd one. After some thinking, I decided on a Larvitar since Tyranitar is one of my favorite Pokemon to battle with. I don't really like Rock or Dark types, but I adore Larvitar. Larvitar is one of the few Pokemon that has an adorable first evolution and the last evolution is a beast that destroys everything in sight.

Here and here. The Mawile should be female according to the reporter (which it is when I go to capture it).

***Never mind Gonz0***

First RNG so freaking happy :) (can't post sprites yet)

Riolu (Shiny)
Level 1
Serious Nature
Quick Tempered
HP 11
Attack 6
Defense 5
Sp. attack 5
Sp. defense 5
Speed 6

(on 4th gen)

So HAPPY :)
(took me 5 attempts/2 days)

This is my entry for the contest. The Riolu is serious as i can take things serious sometime. A Riolu is Smart and Defensive and Quick to defend/attack when threatned it never takes things lightly because never know what can happen! That's why me and Riolu Link :) My kingdom would be like a paradise but if anything bad happens you know my riolu would be right on it a quick to save the kingdom

Well, here is my first RNG abuse that I have done in a while, as well as my entry for the Challenge!


Gallade Lv.100
Nickname: Winston
OT: Field | ID: 41743
Nature: Jolly
Ability: Steadfast
IV's: 31/31/30/31/31/31 [HP Dragon 70]
EV's: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Moveset: Swords Dance, Close Combat, Shadow Sneak, Night Slash
Hatched: 06/27/12

I chose to hatch it on June 27th because that is also my birthday, and I felt it fit well with the Perfect Link theme. I chose shiny Gallade as my perfect link because I've always loved the Ralts line and Gallade immediately became one of my favorite Pokemon when it was released in Generation IV. I decided on shiny because blue and orange are my favorite colors, especially when they are together. My specialty type would probably be Psychic instead of Fighting, because I'm much more intellectual than I am physical. I guess my kingdom would be similar to Illusio in the games; just a place where being an intellectual is rewarded and a place where Psychic Pokemon can call home :D

I don't see anything wrong with your settings, but I have never used a cute charm lead so I can't be 100% sure. Are you sure you're hitting the correct seed though? Are you using Eontimer to hit the correct second? From the sound of it you've only checked the nature / species / gender of the pokemon you catched, but to be absolutely sure its the same seed you should also compare the IV's which you could check with pokecheck or with the RNGreporters IV range finder.

When I first started RNGing I used windows clock to sync up my game with, and I got the hang of it somehow but the more I RNG'd, the more precice I became with the timing but the problem was that I had calibrated my timings sloppy the first time around, so I was constantly hitting a second too early. I thought I had simply messed up my settings somewhere along the lines, and I ended up redoing all the settings before I realised my timing was off.

Some great RNGs this round, it's gonna be great fun to judge. I need to RNG the prize still and I'll get to it a bit later as I'm in my exams time right now. Also it's nice to see you Deku sensei, aka the person who taught me to RNG.
