thanks a ton for your answer! i was now able to get this working. i was using the correct value previously but i didnt know you have to reverse the number in order to match your pokemon. btw, do you know when a mirage island value is created for the very first time? apparently when you start a new game it set to 0 and if your battery is dry it obviously never changes. i would be interested in what event triggers the number in the first place. also do you know anything about rng manipulation of the lottery? is it similar to mirage island?

id need some further information on how this can be done. loading my save file in a hex editor will not do the job for me since the offsets mentioned are either not found or all zero. what kind of tool should be used there? also: are the offsets the same for all regions?
