I would like to know what im doing wrong cant start the program under project x have been trying for hours refers me to the requirements once downloaded it tell me the same errno message.
I was at 2000 soft resets when I swapped to trying this method for Arceus. 3 hours later and I got it and in my last heavy ball to boot! Thanks so much.
Id like to start by saying as someone completely new to Pokémon I love your content as well as thankyou I almost gave up after 1000+SR and still getting nothing. But I used your method with some tweaks and trial and error I got it very quick, your amazing and ridiculously good at teaching. To anyone struggling just keep tweaking you'll get it to work I rewatched this video 10+ times to get it right just get some time together and you'll get your shiny.
You are actually more of a legend than your channel is creddited for, more than likes, subs or anything people could offer. Your method is borderline flawless once you figure it out. I caught a synchronized adamant square shiny Groudon and synchronized modest square shiny Kyogre in less than an hour once figuring out how to work your method. Incredible work my guy! You saved me months and months of my own personal time. I planned to SR for basically months if not longer for these to prep for Mega Evolutions in Legends zA and achieved more than I could possibly fathom. Incredible work, honestly.. I cannot thank you enough. GOAT!
Hey I just want to thank you for this man. I did a full odds hunt, did FIVE practice catches and it was super simple, after 3 weeks of nonstop hunting and probably 8000+ resets I failed the shiny encounter... Immediately went to walmart to buy this webcam and now I have my DESERVED shiny god :D
Great vid! Would love to see more videos on RNG manipulation (other pokeon games, if there is any rng manipulation). Best thing ist, you can work hard for your shiny, and it's legit. But you don't have to grind for hours. Keep up your good work and greetings from Germany!
You are truly El jefe. Thanks a lot for this tutorial, literally a month of SR reduced to less than 3 hours of trying this with my phone camera I can not thank you enough 🙏
I used the same webcam to get my shiny Arceus some days ago, but mine is older and blurrier, and the method still works. If it doesn't recognize the blinks you can turn off the lights and move the camera 30 cm (around 11 inches) away from the Switch screen, that worked for me.
This is so nostalgic. I used to use pokefinder in the original DPP games. I was too young to understand how it actually worked, so it felt like cheating but with skill. Very cool to see how the technique has evolved to keep up with the 3D games
i just started playing shining pearl and ive always wondered how to do something like this but it seemed too intimidating to try and figure out. thank you so much for this detailed walkthrough!
Thanks for all the RnG videos. After watching them all over and over, i think I can get the spirtomb but it's tough with no walk through haha. Maybe that'd be your next video?? 😉
Much love Brother you are the goat!! I am a noob when it comes to computer software and programs but with your video and free software I was able to get my shiny Arceus after my second try!! Thank you so much for providing the tutorial and for the links to the free software. I am truly grateful. I used the webcam method.
I only have a laptop with its integrated webcam so it would’ve been so hard to do this method, so I decided to order the capture card you recommended and it gets here tomorrow. This video explaining everything from the beginning could not be better timed. Thank you so much for your guides!
This makes it much easier to understand than other videos I've seen. Thank you! I am gonna try this! After I hit odds with Arceus. That's my parameters.
Thanks for the video Jefé! I was thinking about doing this for my next hunt but didn't think it would work on something like a phone (currently on the hunt for regice and just came across this method and i had already saved in pure space lol)
Can't thank you enough for making this video. After rewatching your it several times, it took me less than a day trying on and off to catch a Giratina shiny with this method. I'm lucky to have had everything I needed up to obtaining the game's seed. Hardest part was definitely the timings and the delays. I learned by pure chance of this method through Reddit while I was on a 700-reset streak hunting for Giratina. I really appreciate your video. You've gained a follower.
Been here since the starters video. I've gotten the 3 lake guardians and Regice all shiny thanks to the OG legendaries tutorial! :) I'm letting shiny Mesprit stay roaming though, since I already got one from Dynamax Adventures in SwSh, so she's just sort of a savefile trophy. Once I beat PLA I intend on doing Dialga and Arceus, along with the other Ramanas legends. Probably gonna save Shaymin, Cress, Regigigas, and Heatran for the last few since they're all a bit finnicky. Excited for the future content!
You are an absolute goat. First time I actually did everything right to hit timeline I got sparkles. I even had the same thing come up with the repel on the approach! I almost reset but just kept going and hit a on the frame it said and boom. Thank you sir
I just wanted to say thank you.. I've watched all your videos.. and even looked Munchlax in the eyes for 14 hours straight. but this does work. I got my square shiny piplup starter a few minutes ago. :) delay was 63.
After 10000+ resets for Dialga I picked up the capture card setup. I got the program set up on an M1 Mac Mini through Parallels and using Win11 (that part took me a bit of time to finally get working). Once I finally tried it I was able to get my shiny in 4 resets...so awesome! Thank you for such a helpful guide.
While humans have to use complicated technology in order to manipulate the future, the Creators of Space and Time can do so by just blinking their eyes. How fitting.
While it took me a while to get the blinks detected properly, I managed to get a shiny Giratina the first time I found my seed. It was all thanks to this excellent video. Thank you so much!!!!!
Getting pretty good at this. Second attempt landed a shiny Dialga! Thanks for the content dude. Will there be a giratina video soon? That one I'm struggling with big time
I might have to resort to this method for Darkrai, I recently ordered a similar webcam. Over 14,000 resets and still nothing. I'll have to give this a try soon once I set everything up for this method.
yo I tried to to it but OBS didnt work and i saw in another video how to do it and i wanted a tutorial so i came here but it still doesnt work i cant get a preview and i dont know why it just says that it doesnt see anything on the frames selected I'd appreciate some help thanks
Thanks, this worked even on Emulators. I was having trouble for several hours until I realized I was 2 frames late and then when I changed the delay I got it instantly! Way better method than soft-resets even as someone who does Shiny Hunt a lot!
You are a legend mate just caught a modest shiny Dialga after a few hours of figuring it all out. Somehow manage to get it right at 72,000 advances too!
ive been getting into pokemon rng shiny hunting and in definitely trying this, sounds cool plus i didnt catch any of my legendaries/ use my items to get darkrai in bdsp so even better.
you definitely aren't kidding on the getting the seed part. i've been doing it fot 2 hours straight but no luck. changing eye snippets, lights, adjusting webcam and my switch's postion, all didn't work. i'll revisit this sometime, but giving up for now.😅
Omg it is definetly the best way. I need some hours because i have some bad luck. I had many +1 +2 or -1-2-3 . But finally i get a so beauty shiny dialga. So much thanks i will do the Others legendary pokemon🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉thanks for a great video. Here one new subscrip👍
I got it. Took me two times. The first time, I walked through the door before ten, knew I missed and just a pressed. Second time was a score. Thanks man.
Hey man this really helped me I messed up my first two tries because I went to the home menu on accident but on my third try when I didn't mess up I got my Shiny Palkia immediately. I did 1,385 soft resets before I tried this. I will never go back to normal shiny hunting after this.
so far I've gotten 3 in about 15 tries. definitely a much much better ratio than just resetting but it is often frustrating how sometimes it works exactly with the time in the calc and others it seems to not
@@saltysalmon9005 iirc i clicked arround in the window and picked a preview that wasnt shown in the video but did show what my phone was recording and it worked i know not much of a help but dont have the tool on my pc anymore as its been a while ago as well...sorry

Have been trying to get this to work on Win7 64 (just with a webcam, since the capture card will arrive in a couple of days). The PlayerBlink program opens and works fine with the webcam, but when I try to open PokeFinder it says "application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005)". Weird enough, older versions of PokeFinder open fine for me, it's just this one version that doesn't work.
@@PapaJefeYT Thank you for the reply! Tried this and sadly didn't work, got same error (just noticed FlowTimer also doesn't open correctly, says it "stopped working" immediately). Just in case, the version of PokeFinder that does work for me is ver3.0.1; seems it might have something to do with the updated Qt 6 stuff, but dunno.
I tried last year and gave up after 5 attempts, mostly cause I was more curious then something I wanted, but tried again today for kicks n giggles and shiny Dialga on my 3rd attempt. The timeline button actually messed up by 1 second so I pushed my final A press 1 sec early and that was the right judgement call on my end. Trusting the gut can be useful.
Thanks a bunch for making so many great videos covering the subject, I watched this one first a few months ago and finally decided to try at and thanks to your guides in 3 days I have got shiny Darkrai, Regigigas and Giratina.
For anyone using his Excel sheet wanting to catch the lake trio, for azelf the starting delay is 95 instead of 85 and the timeline buffer is 120 instead of 110, for uxie its good but for azelf its not
I keep getting "Exception window not found" when trying to preview in config_secret_base.json. I can preview in config camera and arceus but not secret base. What am I doing wrong? I even can monitor blinks in the other two configs but not secret base
Got a Regirock from this technique, thanks for the amazing quality video. I have another question. Can you also RNG manipulation the frame where you throw a pokeball to ensure a catch in a specific ball?
Thanks for this video! I was able to easily get a shiny dialga with this method. Once I complete the pokedex in PLA I'll be sure to get shiny arceus as well.
hey thanks for the great guide! i do have a question tho, i did like 5 tries and im always 1 second early or late, should i keep doing it or is there anything i can do to get the right timing? thanks! Edit : i got it on the next try thank you!!!
@@kirra-_- Sometimes I'm like 3 frames early I wanna say. I've done this so many times already and I'm always maybe 3 or 4 frames late or early. Should I change the delay to 82? This is so frustrating I just wanna get the shiny 😫
I had quite a few issues with doing this on my main pc, downloaded this on my laptop today and got my shiny Palkia in 1 hour (messed up the timing on my end a few times), going to hunt all the legendaries now.
Hi Jefe! Would this be possible to do on the first Palkia encounter? Reasons being: 1. When walking out of the cave into Spear Pillar, Dawn/Oak speak to you causing more advances 2. Dawn and Prof. Oak are standing there and they blink 3. You cannot walk back to the cave after your conversation with them, you are forced to go back to battle Palkia. What way would you go about doing this??
Any tips for when it cant grab the frame for the seed? I've literally managed to get all ramanas park pokemon on bdsp using this fine but now I'm on pearl I keep getting can't grab frame error no matter how many eye pics I do
I'm currently trying out Shiny Uxie, and I've heard on Reddit that the location where you talk to Uxie is also important. Does location make a difference?
For some reason, Azelf required 10 advances to be taken off the target to hit it right on the money. Only pokemon so far to require that which is odd. On a capture card, not a webcam.
Hey Jefé, is it possible to rng manipulate Regigigas? A few people were commenting about this in some parts of your comment section, but few or none responding and i have found no solution online yet .is it possible? If yes, whats the setup? Do i have to use timeline or can i just use reidentify with 1 npc in the same room like cresselia? Hope you have some answers for a newbie like me
I have steps for Regigigas in my discord (link in description) I'm working on a video for him and Heatran this week. In short, yes Re-Ident 1 PK NPC is the way
Hello, unsure if you'll read this or anyone else but if the blue box for the eye crop keeps blinking does that mean I need to crop it again or make a new screen shot of the eye?
If the box is blinking then you didn't set up properly. Something with the snip or threshold is wrong. Consider joining the discord (link in desc) I can help ppl better there
@@PapaJefeYT After enough fiddling with the eye snip and a few attempts, I was able to get my shiny palkia! Thanks for the tutorials, your discord was a big help. :D
Its really cool to see how this is possible. I just wish it was a little easier to set up and was more clear with setup. Mostly looking at the python part where I'm told to download it and then have to look for what I did wrong with the direct download given
For RNG'ing Arceus i can never manage to get a seed outside, only at the cave exit. Do i click Timeline while still in the cave or quickly run outside to bring up the Azure Flute text box and then click Timeline? Edit: There's enough time to do it from the cave exit same as Dialga/Palkia, you just have to make sure you mash through all the text and hold run the whole time. Was one advance off, but I'd still say that proof enough.
I'm assuming this isn't really possible if you're on your first encounter with the box legendary where Rowan and Lucas are there too? I've saved in front of it and obviously can't go back at this point but I'd love to get my Palkia before E4. I've spent a total of around 60 hours doing 5k resets with no shiny and I'm getting desperate lol 😭
Hey! I'm getting this error when the program tries to get the frame [ WARN:12] global D:\a\opencv-python\opencv-python\opencv\modules\videoio\src\cap_msmf.cpp (1022) CvCapture_MSMF::grabFrame videoio(MSMF): can't grab frame. Error: -2147483638 I've double check that I'm using the correct source, tho. Could be related to the captura itself? I'm able to see the gamo through OBS
I have a question. I got to the step where I need to use OBS to project my webcam onto the Blink software I downloaded from your link, however when I pressed preview, nothing popped up. I typed in "Windowed" an check the box, and then nothing came up. Do you know how to fix this issue?
Do you have a video you could send me to for capture card setup? None of the videos I'm finding are covering what I need or show the step by step process for troubleshooting. I'm working off of a single monitor (large smart tv), and with an elgato 60x
I’m using the Windowed Projector option in OBS to get my preview, but it only displays an image instead of a live video. Did I do something wrong? Using the OBS way you describe in the PDF isn’t an option because the plugin that you link is outdated and doesn’t work on the current version of OBS
i really want to do this but I keep getting "pip is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." I watched videos on how to fix it but nothing is working.
I need help. I am doing everything exactly as explained but after 40 blinks it gives me an error. Try changing the number of NPC Pokemon, in case you count Arceus, and the location (snow areas). But it still doesn't work. It detects the blinking without any error. I am in the postgame, I have already defeated E4.
my camera takes a second to focus and while it focuses it counts a couple blinks that don't happen, only way I can get it to stay focuses is to keep preview up and start monitoring then close preview. I'm gunna try it even tho it gives errors the first couple. Update: even tho it didn't like having preview open it gave me a seed so, we shall see.

What config did u use for giratina ?
And they’re not legit for legal competitive play 😂😂😂
Still works with the latest game version
Got my shiny Dialga today after 7 hours of trail and error
Thank you very much!!!
For anyone using his Excel sheet wanting to catch the lake trio, for azelf the starting delay is 95 instead of 85 and the timeline buffer is 120 instead of 110, for uxie its good but for azelf its not
I keep getting "Exception window not found" when trying to preview in config_secret_base.json. I can preview in config camera and arceus but not secret base. What am I doing wrong? I even can monitor blinks in the other two configs but not secret base
Depending on if you are using a webcam or OBS you might need to turn off monitor window checkbox.
Awesome video Jefe
Definitely gonna try this!
Got a Regirock from this technique, thanks for the amazing quality video. I have another question. Can you also RNG manipulation the frame where you throw a pokeball to ensure a catch in a specific ball?
Hi do you know if you use a computers inbuilt webcam would work. and if so how would I do it?
Thanks for this video! I was able to easily get a shiny dialga with this method. Once I complete the pokedex in PLA I'll be sure to get shiny arceus as well.
did you need the SID and TID for the pokefinder to work accurately?
@@daltonsexton4895 I don't recall having to enter either of those, no.
First time trying RNG in my life: Shiny Palkia at the 4th try!! I still can't believe it. Thank you Papa Jefé!!!
I like what I see hahaha Will you get to make a video explaining how to RNG fossil pokemon?
Working on it chief. Fossils are tricky, and I still haven't gotten my 5IV shiny Aerodactyl 🙈
hey thanks for the great guide!
i do have a question tho, i did like 5 tries and im always 1 second early or late, should i keep doing it or is there anything i can do to get the right timing? thanks!
Edit : i got it on the next try thank you!!!
How did you get it? I tried so many times and I'm always a few frames late or early. I really don't know what I'm doing wrong :( Pls help
@@pikasheep if youre only like 1 or 2 frames late then keep going!
@@kirra-_- Sometimes I'm like 3 frames early I wanna say. I've done this so many times already and I'm always maybe 3 or 4 frames late or early. Should I change the delay to 82? This is so frustrating I just wanna get the shiny 😫
Is there any reason why my pokefinder does not work???=(
You might need to install VC redist
aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe
@@PapaJefeYT YOOOOO! MAN THANKS!
You are amazing! Thanks for sharing!
This seems interesting! I like that
I had quite a few issues with doing this on my main pc, downloaded this on my laptop today and got my shiny Palkia in 1 hour (messed up the timing on my end a few times), going to hunt all the legendaries now.
Hi Jefe!
Would this be possible to do on the first Palkia encounter?
Reasons being:
1. When walking out of the cave into Spear Pillar, Dawn/Oak speak to you causing more advances
2. Dawn and Prof. Oak are standing there and they blink
3. You cannot walk back to the cave after your conversation with them, you are forced to go back to battle Palkia.
What way would you go about doing this??
Kill the palkia because you can catch him later
I have the same problem:( is there any chance to do rgn?
You are a godsend papa jefe
Papa Jefe doing god's work for us. I'm still stuck with Shaymin becuase it's a bitch to catch but I'll definitely turn over to the rest right after
Did anybody else have an issue getting a seed? I used multiple eye captures and tried different thresholds and still cant get a seed
Any tips for when it cant grab the frame for the seed?
I've literally managed to get all ramanas park pokemon on bdsp using this fine but now I'm on pearl I keep getting can't grab frame error no matter how many eye pics I do
Oh my god I needed that Display% box yesterday lmao. I can use my elgato on windows 11 after all, thank god
I'm currently trying out Shiny Uxie, and I've heard on Reddit that the location where you talk to Uxie is also important.
Does location make a difference?
For some reason, Azelf required 10 advances to be taken off the target to hit it right on the money. Only pokemon so far to require that which is odd. On a capture card, not a webcam.
Can I use the camera on my MacBook cause I don’t have a webcam but I’m tired of resetting for dialga
does it work for you? i have a capture card and i’ve tried to run the program and i wasn’t able to capture the blinks because of the code
Hey Jefé, is it possible to rng manipulate Regigigas? A few people were commenting about this in some parts of your comment section, but few or none responding and i have found no solution online yet .is it possible? If yes, whats the setup? Do i have to use timeline or can i just use reidentify with 1 npc in the same room like cresselia? Hope you have some answers for a newbie like me
I have steps for Regigigas in my discord (link in description) I'm working on a video for him and Heatran this week.
In short, yes Re-Ident 1 PK NPC is the way
is it possible to use this method before the end of the game? Currently trying to shiny hunt with dialga rowan and dawn in frame
No, wont work in the story. Just faint him and come back later
Hi I have a doubt. So during the final press of a button near dialga should I press twice? Coz it is not going to dialga unless I press two times
Thanks man!
How do you figure out your SID?
Hello, unsure if you'll read this or anyone else but if the blue box for the eye crop keeps blinking does that mean I need to crop it again or make a new screen shot of the eye?
If the box is blinking then you didn't set up properly. Something with the snip or threshold is wrong.
Consider joining the discord (link in desc) I can help ppl better there
@@PapaJefeYT After enough fiddling with the eye snip and a few attempts, I was able to get my shiny palkia! Thanks for the tutorials, your discord was a big help. :D
Its really cool to see how this is possible. I just wish it was a little easier to set up and was more clear with setup. Mostly looking at the python part where I'm told to download it and then have to look for what I did wrong with the direct download given
For RNG'ing Arceus i can never manage to get a seed outside, only at the cave exit. Do i click Timeline while still in the cave or quickly run outside to bring up the Azure Flute text box and then click Timeline?
Edit: There's enough time to do it from the cave exit same as Dialga/Palkia, you just have to make sure you mash through all the text and hold run the whole time. Was one advance off, but I'd still say that proof enough.
running install.bat as administrator was messing it up, so if youre having an error try just opening it normally.
I'm assuming this isn't really possible if you're on your first encounter with the box legendary where Rowan and Lucas are there too? I've saved in front of it and obviously can't go back at this point but I'd love to get my Palkia before E4. I've spent a total of around 60 hours doing 5k resets with no shiny and I'm getting desperate lol 😭
Correct, you need to do this in post game due to all the npcs first time
@@PapaJefeYT Awesome, thanks for the reply!
I'm looking forward to trying this method in the near future~
Hey! I'm getting this error when the program tries to get the frame
[ WARN:12] global D:\a\opencv-python\opencv-python\opencv\modules\videoio\src\cap_msmf.cpp (1022) CvCapture_MSMF::grabFrame videoio(MSMF): can't grab frame. Error: -2147483638
I've double check that I'm using the correct source, tho. Could be related to the captura itself? I'm able to see the gamo through OBS
AYO can i have my webcam back dog? the C210 is a 720p classic!
Holding the BigDamo livestream down since 2017.
Is there a way to do this process in Mac OS? as far as I know those kind of files and programs only run on Windows
As someone who's messed around with reverse engineering games a bit, this whole thing is so, so cool
I have a question. I got to the step where I need to use OBS to project my webcam onto the Blink software I downloaded from your link, however when I pressed preview, nothing popped up. I typed in "Windowed" an check the box, and then nothing came up. Do you know how to fix this issue?
Do you have a video you could send me to for capture card setup? None of the videos I'm finding are covering what I need or show the step by step process for troubleshooting. I'm working off of a single monitor (large smart tv), and with an elgato 60x
I’m using the Windowed Projector option in OBS to get my preview, but it only displays an image instead of a live video. Did I do something wrong? Using the OBS way you describe in the PDF isn’t an option because the plugin that you link is outdated and doesn’t work on the current version of OBS
i really want to do this but I keep getting "pip is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." I watched videos on how to fix it but nothing is working.
This is such an amazing tool.
Thank you so much!!! Can I do Monitoring blink in the room and then go to capture Dialga or another pokemon?
I need help. I am doing everything exactly as explained but after 40 blinks it gives me an error. Try changing the number of NPC Pokemon, in case you count Arceus, and the location (snow areas). But it still doesn't work. It detects the blinking without any error.
I am in the postgame, I have already defeated E4.
my camera takes a second to focus and while it focuses it counts a couple blinks that don't happen, only way I can get it to stay focuses is to keep preview up and start monitoring then close preview. I'm gunna try it even tho it gives errors the first couple.
Update: even tho it didn't like having preview open it gave me a seed so, we shall see.
