Written guide
- Save in front of the Celebi shrine. This lets you reset if needed.
- Press A to interact with the shrine and stop when you see Player put in the GS Ball.
- Open PokeReader to the RNG screen and wait until Finding ADIV Index and Finding SDIV Index are gone.
- Pause PokeReader with L + R then enter the info from PokeReader into the RNG tool below. Press "Generate".
- Unpause the game with R until near the target advance.
- Pause then advance with L one at a time.
- Stop when the "Advance" number in PokeReader matches one shown in the tool.
- (Optional) Make a save state if you're on an emulator.
- Press A to accept the Pokemon. Do not press anything else until Celebi appears!
- If you got your Pokemon, congrats! If not, keep trying!
Helpful tips
- This is unstable! Expect it to take many tries!
- Only use L + R to pause and advance in Gen 2, not Start + Select. Start + Select will mess up the RNG!
- Do not press any buttons in between pressing A and seeing Celebi.
- Switching screens or pressing buttons during this time will mess up the RNG!
- The 3DS registers button presses instantly, but the Game Boy takes a few frames.
- Pressing A too quickly might unpause the game without starting the encounter.
- Don't hold A too long. Press it slightly longer than one frame.
