Followed the painting video by Zak and pretty sure I did everything correctly. I'll try and go through exactly what I did below and if someone can see something wrong please let me know, otherwise I have no idea why it's not hitting! Just a reminder that this is on emerald with mGBA emulator.

  1. Couldn't generate desired flawless so went and searched for at least 3IV shiny rayquaza
  2. Put the seed value into gen 3 seed to time and got the target seed, generated that seed and confirmed it was the same advances and stats as the seed to time window
  3. Put the target seed value into the painting RNG page to get the target painting timer
  4. After pressing a on the painting the target seed was hit just fine
  5. Went to battle tower to get the battle record, after losing I saved the game
  6. Copied exactly what Zak was demonstrating just in case, where he reset to show that after a rest you could go back in, load battle record and be at the same initial seed
  7. Put the intial seed that was generated from viewing battle record into generator in the seed box of pokefinder, confirmed all stats were the same and a lower advance
  8. Went to sky tower and saved after at the 2nd set of cracked flooring puzzle
  9. Got to rayquaza, saved and re-opened battle record for the seed again
  10. Went right in front of it, paused on the target advance and then while holding a, I unpaused the game

Repeated this many times but no luck, I was shown the txt file for the emerald static encounters and it says to press a in front of it, so I don't think it's that at least. Please help ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

Note: While retracking my steps I went back to the pokemonrng website and saw step 4 of the painting RNG saying to use the number of advances in seed to time to finish the RNG. I did not do this and instead used the advance after generating the seed from the battle record, however I have just attempted it with the seed to time advances and it still didn't work.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like:

  • You got the target seed from PokeFinder
  • You got the target seed in from viewing a painting
  • You have a battle video with the seed
  • Viewing the battle video sets the expected seed
  • You confirmed the battle video seed has the spread you're interested in

Sounds like you're very close!

Are you taking into account the amount of time it takes for Rayquaza to generate after pressing "A"?

I did try to find if there was some sort of time/delay and tried 3 +/-1 in the delay, what's the correct time i should be accounting for?

#

also im about to try and put the seed value from thats generated from viewing the battle record into seed to time to use that advances value hopefully it works

ok im stupid, i just decided to calculate the delay from the one i hit - the target and got it haha, i completely forgot that i can do that ><

Nice! I'm glad you got the Rayquaza! ๐ŸŽ‰

#

No worries about forgetting the delay - sometimes these things slip past us.
