Heyo! I've been spending the last couple of days attempting to manip for a shiny Chimchar after setting up TID/SID for Cute Charm but haven't been able to see any results.

Here's all the information (I hope)
TID - 59683
SID - 59691
Target: 31 Atk 31 Speed Shiny Chimchar
PID - 20092000
Seed - A21704FD

Any pointers and/or assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Hello! I tested your information in PokéFinder and you will not be able to hit your target shiny Chimchar with that PID and seed since it's on advance 0.

Since you want a shiny Chimchar with 31 Attack and 31 Speed, you will need to generate a new seed to time as well as PID. The closest advance that I was able to search for is PID 83A883A1 and seed 83010703, which will give you a shiny Chimchar with 31 Attack and 31 Speed on advance 138.

Here are screenshots I took so you know exactly what I was testing.

Here is a screenshot of the closest Adamant shiny Chimchar, which is on advance 156.

@dull ore what specific issues are you having? you listed all the information you need

using an edited diamond save with your ids, this is basically all you need to do, except hit your seed using a timer

if you do this and the chimchar is not shiny, you are not hitting your seed, which can be difficult to calibrate on retail

@dull ore Oops, I was thinking you couldn't hit advance 0 because I've only RNG'd for a starter using the Cute Charm glitch in Platinum. I forgot that you choose your starter at Lake Verity in Diamond and Pearl. 😅

Thank you everyone! I'll be sure to provide a status update once I get back to attempts hopefully tonight

An update:
Decided to do a different seed and things were promising right away, with the advances being zero something that I haven't exprienced till that point!

Once again, thank you everyone!

Hope this is the first of many mons!
