Set up

Choose the game and console you're playing below then continue to the next step.

Pick a Pokemon

Fill out the tool below to find a starter that suits you.
If you can't find a Pokemon you like, you can increase the min and max delays. This will increase the time to get the Pokemon.

Prepare the save

If you're on Platinum, set your console date to 12/31/2099 on NDS or 12/31/2050 on 3DS.
Your party should have:
Switch your Poketch to the Coin Flip app.
Save in front of the Pokemon you want to RNG.

Prepare the console

Set your console date to .
Start setting your console time to , but don't confirm it just yet.

Hit your seed

Simultaneously press A to set the console time and start the timer below.
When the first timer ends,
Get to the screen where you load your save.
Immediately press A when the second timer to goes off.

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 Pokemon 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.

Get your Pokemon

Follow these steps once you've hit your target seed.

Immediately open your party menu as fast as possible when the save loads.
Open Chatot's summary screen times to advance the RNG. Optionally verify the Chatter pitch below.
Exit the party and catch or receive your target Pokémon.

Tip

Switching between two Chatot summaries is faster than repeatedly opening and closing the same summary!

If you didn't get your target Pokemon and you're 100% sure you viewed the Chatot summary the correct number of times, move on to the next step to calibrate your advances.

Optional: Verify Chatter Pitches

This allows experienced RNGers to confirm their advances without calibrating.

Note

This isn't necessary and can be difficult to get right, so don't worry about it for your first few times.

Calibrate Advances

Check your Pokémon stats.
Fill out the form below with the stats of the Pokémon you caught and click "Generate".
Click "Calibrate Advance" to adjust your Chatot summary count, or use the "Calibrate Timer" to adjust your seed timing.
Try to hit your target again.

Tip

If you can't find the Pokémon you hit, increase the advance range, delay range, and/or seconds range in the calibrator to expand your search.
