Tip
If you don't have enough time to hit your seed, go back to the previous step and search for a prize with a higher "Max Delay".
Calibrate the seed
- Click "Generate" below to generate a list of possible seeds you hit.
- Flip the coin in the Poketch and click the heads or tails buttons below to filter results.
- If you have one result left and it isn't your target seed, click "Calibrate".
- Try to hit your target again.
- If the "Flip Delay" column is checked for the Pokémon you hit, take one of these actions:
- For Any game, insert a GBA cart
- For HeartGold and SoulSilver, use the touch screen to press the down and up arrows on the continue screen.
- For Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, click "New Game", then press B to return to the continue screen.
- If you've flipped the delay, you need to keep flipping it every time.
Tip
If you don't see your seed, increase the delay and second offsets and try again.
Advance to target
- Press "Generate" below to generate a list of coin flips.
- Flip the coin in the Poketch and click the heads or tails buttons to track your current advance.
- Stop right before your target advance, then move on to the next step.

- Turn off the game and change the console time to 11:59pm.
- Load the game as fast as possible (still at 11:59pm).
