Step 1: Set up PokeFinder
- Load the game with the lua script.
- Go to the "Continue" screen and pause the emulator.
- Find your initial seed displayed in the lua script.
- Open PokeFinder > Gen 3 Static > Generator tab.
- Input the seed into the "Seed" box.
- Set your target filters (shiny, IVs, nature, etc.) and click "Generate."
- Method should be "Method 1."
- If no results, adjust filters or reset for a new seed.
- Choose a target advance from the results.
Step 2: Find the Delay
- Your player should be in front of the right legendary, NPC, or Pokéball.
- Make a save state to avoid mistakes.
- Advance to the final screen before the Pokémon is generated.
- If there's a cry or dialog, that's usually the final screen.
- At your target advance, press A to start the encounter or receive the Pokémon.
- Check the IVs of the Pokémon.
- In PokeFinder, input the IVs and find the advance you hit.
- Calculate the delay: Delay = Target Advance - Advance Hit
- Enter the delay in PokeFinder and generate again.
- Note the new advance number.
Step 3: Get the Desired Pokémon
- Retry using the new advance adjusted for the delay.
- If successful, you'll hit the correct spread.
- If not, check how many advances you were off, reload, adjust, and try again.
