Starter RNG
Last updated: 2026-03-26 UTCTools
Step 1: Setup
Set up your target starter in PokeFinder.
- Save in front of the gift.
- Open PokeFinder → Gen 5 tab → "Static" → "Searcher".
- Set the correct starter and all the desired filters for it (shininess, IVs, ability, etc.).
- Set Initial Advances to at least 5.
- Set Max Advances as needed. Avoid setting it too high, as it can slow the process or make it impractical.
- Leave Min/Max IV Advances at 0.
- Generate results and choose a target.
Step 2: RNG the Starter
Hit your seed and reach the correct Advance to receive the Pokémon.
- Hit the target Initial Seed using this guide.
- (Optional) Make a save state some advances before as a backup.
- Advance by saving the game repeatedly until you reach the target Advance.
- Close the menu and press A to open the gift and choose the starter.
- If you miss by accident, reload the save state and repeat from step 3; if no save state was made, repeat from step 1.
Congrats! You've now got your Pokémon!
