This guide covers Fixed Initial Seed in Gen 3, specifically for RS dry and Emerald.

Tools

Step 1: Set Up PokeFinder

Open PokeFinder with the correct profile and input the initial seed:
  • 0 for Emerald.
  • 5A0 for Ruby/Sapphire dry.
Note: To achieve dry Ruby/Sapphire, uncheck the real-time clock in VBA options.

Step 2: Find Your Target

  1. Find a target and go to the location.
  2. Save your game.
  3. In PokeFinder (Gen 3 => Wild), select the route and hit the criteria you want. For Ruby/Sapphire, use Method H-1; for Emerald, use Method H-2 (you can hit alternate spreads as well) once you've selected your target.

Step 3: Calibrate

  1. Launch VBA and create regular save states.
  2. When close to your frame, do a calibration:
    • Save state.
    • Note the frame you're on.
    • Encounter a Pokémon using Sweet Scent.
    • Search that spread with PokeFinder.
    • Calculate the delay and enter it into the "delay box."
    • Regenerate your target to get your new frame.

Step 4: Capture Your Pokémon

  1. Go to your target frame to catch what you want.
  2. If it doesn’t work, redo the calibration.
