Ruby and Sapphire Dead Battery Static RNG

This is a rough draft!

Everything on this page is a work in progress!

You can refer to my FRLG guide for most of the content. This guide is BEFORE the update with Real's scripts. This guide covers Fixed Initial Seed in Gen 3, specifically RS dry and Emerald. Edited Rick's guide, not yet complete. -Subject

Hitting the Desired Frame

Finding Delay
- Advance to the final screen before encountering the target Pokémon.
- Make a save state ~100 frames before the encounter.

Press A when you land on your target frame to enter the encounter.
Use the period . key to advance by one frame when paused.
Take note of the IVs of the encountered Pokémon; they won't match the target Pokémon's IVs.
Open a new PokeFinder window and input the IVs of the encountered Pokémon.
To find the delay, subtract the frame hit from the desired frame.

Delay = Frame Hit - Target Frame Your new Target Frame = Desired Frame - Delay

Encountering the Pokémon
- Reload the previous save state before the encounter.
- Advance to the new target frame.
- If the Pokémon is not the desired one, find the new delay.
