I recently finished Platinum. Now I need to complete the regional Pokédex to unlock access to the three areas. So I'm working on catching the legendary Pokémon, starting with Uxie, Azalea, and Mesprit. I managed to catch Uxie without too much trouble, with the IVs and nature I wanted. But no matter how many times I try to catch Azalea with the natures and IVs I want, I fail every time. The seed is good, though.
#Gen IV, bad seed for capturing Azelf

What do you get?
I managed to get it with a nature and the IVs that suited me. But I had to target a different nature than the one I was aiming for. It's the "naive" nature that, since that night, has given me a hard time. I haven't managed to get it even once. Here's an example of a seed I targeted:
I did manage to reach the seed of the delay, but every time I touched the frame I wanted, it gave me a nature and IVs different from those I was looking for
You didn't rng the pid correctly
You rnged only the ivs correctly
Ivs are from mt advsnces
Pid is from the lcrng Advances
Bro this ain’t gen 5 xD
And why tf does your pokefinder look like that lol; whack font and all the text is so small
It is separated
This is a basic gen 4 static rng
It do be like that sometimes
Too much chats ahahaha
I can't stand the default Windows font, so I replaced it with one I like better
well then xD
So, I didn't quite understand, when reading your conversation… Where do you think my mistake came from?
I'd also like to take this opportunity to ask you another question. I noticed that the Arceus from the Spear Pillar isn't listed among the legendaries (probably because it's illegal). But I'd still like to catch it with the nature and IVs I want. Is there any way to do that?
use any other legendary mon
listed in pokefinder
Excellent! Thank you so much!
Regarding the nature and the erroneous IVs I obtained when capturing Azelf, is that indeed due to a bad PID generation, as you said, or is it due to something else?
What is your lead Pokemon?
You mean the one who was in charge of my team? He was a Gengar, the kind you get through trading in Snowpoint City
wrong ivs = wrong hit initial seed/hit advances
just retry
are you on console ore emulator?
I'm sure I got the right seed, though. And I tried several times.
Every time I tried for the "naive" nature, I failed. However, I finally managed to catch the Pokémon yesterday, but with the "timid" nature, and the IVs were correct this time.
I'm using an emulator
are you using eon timer or lua?
I don't use Eon Timer. I use DeSmuME 0.9.11 with Lua scripts
But wait, I have an example of the problem I'm describing! I just tried to catch Heatran, a Modest type with the highest possible IVs, but I failed, even though I had the right seed
I'm going to take some screenshots so you understand
So what result are you hitting compared to what you're targeting?
I have a problem with this, look what it does to me:
i mean
you have to register chatot once
not everytime
so register it, save
hit the initial seed and then just open its summary page
opening the summary page will advance +1
let me know
That's exactly what I did, but here's what I got
what you got?
LCRNG Advances is giving me error code -2147483648. It doesn't usually do that, at least not for a while
Did you do what I told you?
Did you register chatot and restarted the game?
I just did it, but it doesn't seem to have worked
you're using the wrong desmume version
that's why
download and set everything as described here
That surprises me: that's exactly what I did. But I'll do it again, yes
x64 is 100% the wrong version
you didn't download from the link i wrote in the repo
I just realized it. But it's surprising
nha ahaha
it's known unfortunately
Here's what happens when I try to launch DeSmuME. I can't read what's written in the small window. Do you know what it's about?
Okay, I understand now. Also, I'm asking if you know what it means, but it's written in French…
I had the wrong version. Honestly…
Well, that's all good
PID and nature aren't what I'm supposed to have. Here's what I wanted, look:
Screen of the mon you have got
Use generator tab to know what you hit
I had the same issue as the one in the screenshot I sent here.
What pokemon did you get
Perfect
Seelct Disable filters
Go near 86
And check where is the pokémon you want
Before
You hit advances 16
I understand. In fact, there was an inconsistency between the seeds
You hit the wrong initial seed
Do you know how to hit it?
No. I did hit the seed I was told to, but the seed I was told to hit wasn't the right one, look:
When I click on "generate times for seed", the seed shown to me is not the same:
I changed the seed in "generate time for seed" to the previous one and I successfully obtained the Heatran with the type and IVs I wanted
It is a bug
And tell me if the error is still there pls
Cause it has been fixed like some minutes ago
It seems that the problem has indeed been solved
Tell me, I'm trying to generate an Arceus Wondercard with a specific nature, but I don't think it's possible
What do you mean?
Thank for testing
I mean, I want a Wondercard Arceus with a Jolly nature and 31 IVs, but it seems like we can't get the nature we want, since the seed and the advances are the same regardless of the nature
You are welcome
You want to do the shiny one?
No. And I'm not talking about the Arceus you get in the Lance column. I'm talking about the one that was distributed.
Where did you get the wc?
Project Pokemon Forums
Movie Arceus This Arceus was distributed at various stores in Europe. In Platinum version, it can activate a series of events starting in Oreburgh Mine where the player can learn more about Arceus and the Creation of Sinnoh as well as obtain a Flame Plate. If traded to HeartGold or SoulSilver ver...
That said, I know that with Melon DS and custom servers, you can also obtain this Arceus
Pid random
Nature random
You can rng it
Yes. But how? Look at the screenshots I sent? The seeds and the advances are the same, regardless of the desired nature
The nature can be predicted
So just save a state beforehand pressing A to the delivery man
And reload until you hit the correct nature
Be sure to use Pokémon Info tab
Gift mode
I see. Thank you!
Let me know if you have problems getting it
Do you think it's possible to target a shiny legendary with 5 or 6 perfect IVs?
It is 100% possible
You have to rng the tid and sid for them tho
This is for gen3 and 4
Not needed for gen5+
So I have to start the game again, if I understand correctly?
Okay. Thank you! I might be tempted to do it later. Could you tell me exactly what to do?
Open a new thread
But on emulator it is pretty easy
You just have to hit the correct delay when you start the game
What is this ?
Ah ! Sorry, I misunderstood; I thought you were talking about the game. By the way, since we've found the answer to my question, can I delete these threads?
Don't delete pls
