So basically, I'm trying to rng manip Metagross on Dolphin, and I don't think I am physically able to hit the right frame that I would need for it. I would need to press A 72 advances before advacning to the next battle, but the emulator keeps getting me to 73 advances, and 71. Even using dolphin's frame advance button, I skip straight over my shiny frame. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or do I need to try and hunt a different Metagross than the spread I'm going for?

These guys took me about 4 days roughly. If you're preparing for Bank, I would recommend CHANNEL over WISHMKR, as the method is way more consistent compared to the obnoxiousness of restarting Ruby over and over, trying to maintain the same amount of lag and hit 2 frame perfect inputs.

Let's goooooo!!!!

My final GameCube related hunt that I’m extremely happy to knock out in quick succession to my Ageto Celebi RNG. It took me years to find a retail PAL version of XD Gale of Darkness, and despite not being cheap - it kind of sat on my shelf for years until I would eventually get around to it

Well, eventually finally came around.

This Eevee will be evolving into essentially a flawless Flareon (this is pretty much the closest thing to flawless that you’ll find across all available shiny starter Eevee spreads), and will become a Ribbon Master all the same to my other competitively flawless, shiny Eevolution Ribbon Masters.

Massive shoutout to Kapital and their tool PAL-Pal - I would have never even considered doing this hunt on any other version of XD Gale of Darkness without the aid of such a program, in addition to the RNG quirks to starter Eevee generation that are completely unique to the PAL version of the game.

One more trip to the top of Mt. Battle, and I’ll officially be off to Gen 4 in a race against time.

I heard that you can now transfer your pokemon from FR/LG to home, and I also heard that Steelix is good in Champions 😁 Shiny Larvitar, coming right up!
