Tools

Note: You can get the "honey" item in any store after clearing three trials.

Step 1: Setup 3DSRNGTool

  1. Type the Init Seed from PokeReader into the Seed box.
  2. Enter your game version and TSV.
  3. If you have the shiny charm, check the Shiny Charm box.
  4. Click the Wild RNG tab and change the Category dropdown to Island Scan.
  5. Change the Pokemon dropdown to your target Pokémon.

Step 2: Create a timeline

  1. Follow the timeline guide using the NPC count from PokeReader.
  2. You should have a target frame to hit.

Step 3: The RNG

If you've followed the guide, you should now:
  • Have made a timeline.
  • Have a target frame.
  • Be standing in the area to catch your Island Scan Pokémon.
  • Have the honey item.
Note: If any of these are not true, start the guide over. Moving your character will mess up the RNG.

Step 4: Hitting your target frame

  1. Press X to open the in-game menu.
  2. Hold the cursor on the bag option.
  3. Watch the Advances counter on PokeReader.
    • When the Advances counter is close to your target frame, press Start + Select to pause the game.
    • Press Select multiple times to slowly advance frames to your target frame.
  4. Once at your target frame, press and hold A to unpause the game while entering the bag.
  5. Find and use the honey item to start a wild encounter.
  6. If the Pokémon you encountered was not the Island Scan Pokémon, see how many frames off you were and adjust.
    • Search all frames for the IVs of the Pokémon you got. Check the frame range instead of the timeline and search using the IVs.
    • After finding your actual frame, adjust as necessary from the delay and restart from the beginning.
    • This should not happen frequently.
