Toffoletto

Hello, I know that it's possible to use Pandora's Box to obtain, via RNG, a TID/SID pair that makes a particular PID shiny in Pokemon Colosseum, but I would like to ask if it's also possible to choose an arbitrary pair to get the same result, just as in Pokemon XD. For example, let's say that I would like to obtain the pair 00007/45728, which is definitely possible in Colo and XD; Pandora's box does not display this result; is there a way to get it via RNG? Or would I have to soft reset and rely on luck? Thank you in advance for your help.

If I remember correctly, Eevee's PID is generated exactly seven frames after the frame for TID and SID. So, for example, if you have Eevee's TID and SID on frame 10000, you will have to use the PID(and IV spread) on frame 10007. I hope this was of some help.

Anyone? @Kaphotics, maybe?

Hi, I have caught, in Pokemon XD, a Lickitung in Realgam Tower, snagging it from Miror B., rather than from the Cipher guy; for some reason, it is marked as illegal. I have attached the file. Thank you very much for your attention. 108 - LICKITUNG - 39E94E0A289A.xk3

There are two guides on Reddit: the first one is to manipulate the TID and SID; the second one is to actually catch your pokemon. These are the links: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemonrng/comments/757m0y/colosseum_tidsid_rng_guide_emulator/ https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemonrng/comments/7bgqcb/guide_colosseum_shinyflawless_rng_pokémon/ Enjoy!

Ok, thanks to all of you!

Sure, here it is. 245 ★ - SUICUNE - 49C78B1D95DC.pk4

Hello, I plan to start a new game in Fire Red, and I'd like to "shinify" the PID 8B1D95DC in order to get a shiny Suicune with the spread 0/0/0/0/0/0; so, in other words, a Suicune that should be unaffected by the Roamer's glitch, just for the sake of it. However, after some test done with PKHeX, it turns out that such Suicune is marked as illegal, while other Method 1 Pokemons with that spread are legal. Apparently, the issue is an "Encounter type PID mismatch". Is it an error with PKHeX, or this Suicune is simply unobtainable? And, if this is the case, what's the reason? Thank you in advance for your help.

Thanks to everyone for their answers! So, to sum it up, there's really no difference in the code of a pokemon obtained on emulators, and, therefore, no rational reason to use a gameboy instead; is it correct? Kaphotics, with reference to XD, I tried to obtain the aforementioned spread and PID, but a quite strange thing happened: that combination turned out to be unobtainable(so xdcheck was right), but, in turn, I obtained the same spread, only two frames before my target, but with a different PID, nature and gender; on the other hand, on the main window of RNG Reporter, my target had different IVs than those reported on Gamecube Time Finder. These were the results(my target is the third one): 801672 5CE24441 Docile 1 31 31 31 31 31 25 Dark 64 F M M F 801673 44419551 Adamant 1 25 31 31 23 12 12 Bug 43 F M M F 801674 9551A7C9 !!! Adamant 1 12 23 12 7 23 2 Electric 66 M M M M I really don't know what to think, though I'm sure I'm messing something up...

Hello, I would like to ask you two question with reference to the RNG process exploited when using an emulator. 1) I would like to catch a shiny Deoxys on Emerald in the most legit/legal way possible; therefore, I extracted the ROM from my retail game, I started a new game on VBA, and, by using Suloku's excellent Mystery Gift Tool, I injected the wc3 of the Aurora ticket that I got from Nintendo of Italy a few years ago, when I sent them my cartidge. The RNG process is significantly easier to perform on an emulator, but I'm concerned about the legitimacy/legality of the result; so my question is: is there any difference(even the slightest) if a pokemon is caught on an emulator, rather than in a retail game? Is there a way to deduce that it was not caught on a gameboy? I ask this question because I know that transferring a gen 3 pokemon to a gen 4 game should be done with an actual DS, in order to avoid issues with thrash bytes, and because someone seems to bother about the origin of pokemon files, but I don't understand if this distinction is only formalistic, and not substantial. 2)This does not regard legality specifically. I have already used the RNG with success to get some pokemon from XD(on emulator, of course). Now, I would like to get a Scyther with spread 31/31/31/31/31/25, and with PID 9551A7C9, that I found by using Gamecube Time Finder on RNG Reporter. Unlike previous times, this spread was marked as "Pass NL(Anti-Shiny)"(instead of "Pass NL" only); so I thought that I had to RNG my TID and SID in order to "shinify" the said spread, and I managed to obtain 00012 as my TID and 12944 as my SID. Is this enough to get a Scyther with those characteristics? I ask this question because that spread does not appear on xdcheck(Mr. Ginzaru's tool), so I'm led to believe that it is actually unobtainable. Sorry for the long post. Thank you in adance for your help.

Hello! I'm an italian Pokemon player; I used to play Pokemon games of the third and fourth generations when I was a kid, and now, after discovering the process of RNG, I became interested in using this knowledge to get good achievements in those games. I'm sure I'll have a nice time here at Project Pokemon. Oh, and sorry if my english is sometimes not perfect. Bye!
