I know this UA-camr, who's friend had apparently exactly this situation. He was shooting a vlog and suddenly in his friends Soul Silver he starts to get lots of shinies and they are baffled how is that possible :D If you want to see it, I can try to search for that video.
it happened to my friend a few years ago. she was playing her heartgold with a clefairy and got 5 shinies, ran out of balls catching them all though. she had no clue what was going on but i told her about the glitch and asked if she could trade any dupes she got to me. turns out, her heartgold was a bootleg that couldnt trade. and she paid 80 bucks for it too (hgss wasnt 200+ bucks back then)
Took 2 hours to get it down but worked flawlessly! I was weary at first but you explained everything perfectly and I did it! Thanks :) new sub! Great content!
I’m gonna try this out later but after looking at at least 4 videos my brain is scrambled 😂. Your video seems to be the most helpful so thank you so much.
What a great tutorial! This is my first time ever doing this and i managed to do it all in about 20 minutes. Unfortunately I forgot to delete the previous save so i had to redo it all and get back to Jubilife :( but I managed to get it back in about half the time (and got a Chimchar with a better nature in the process) so no harm done. Honestly, I didn't think I would actually get this to work as i've never messed around with external Pokemon programs, but your explanations were so concise and simple that just about anybody can do it! Thank you!
frustratingly had to restart the process a couple times but managed to get the ID in a total of about an hour! thanks for the easy guide, all the other videos i have seen on this manipulation made it seem like a way more complicated then it had to be!
FYI I've just found out more about how the Female Leads work. You'll only get shinies when the target gender ratio is the percentage shown in the top of the Hex tables (87.5%, 75%, 50% or 25%). So for the best chance to get male shinies you'll want to go for a Hex from the '50% Male Target' table. Imo this makes it so much more worth just going for a male lead and getting female shinies like I said in the video, but it's up to you! Also it is possible to get either a Jigglypuff or Clefairy in HGSS in the Safari Zone 'Meadow zone' early instead of waiting until Kanto. Oops!

Yeah. Actually. You can get either a Jigglypuff or Clefairy in the HGSS Safari Zone early instead of waiting until Kanto in the Meadow zone or however it’s pronounced
@@meddagoat Ooooh I didn't realise that, sorry that's an excellent point! It would still be faster to trade a mon in but that is far sooner than going back to Kanto! My bad o:
Thanks so much, got it fourth try using the soft-reset method. For anyone like me who was confused on how to run EonTimer, it's the .bat file. UPDATE: So, I tried this on Diamond and Pearl too, resetting to 600 for each game. Diamond took like 10-15 attempts, while Pearl I did first try! Crazy, man.
This is the best guide I've seen for this glitch and holy hell does it pay off. It took an hour or two to get the right seed but now I'm getting a shiny every few encounters. It's so weird and cool.
Helpful tips or anyone who'd like to know: 1) if you're playing Pokemon HGSS, you can catch a Jigglypuff at the safari zone! 2) if the glitch doesn't seem to be working for you, check your cute charm Pokemon is the opposite gender than what the shinies should be. I got stuck because my Jigglypuff was female and I needed a male - hope this helps! Buzzing here!! :D
If you see this, you’ll get more consistent results by going into the game and soft resetting on the 6th beep the first time instead of pressing A to enter the game. Hope this helps :)
@@Timetofeelalive Hi I wanted to ask if it will work if i use the exact same settings as you did when you got it could you please tell me if it will work?
so wait, if you soft reset on the 6th beep, the beeps that are supposed to tell you when to start the game so you can manipulate the trainer id, how would soft resetting on that first time make a difference in your results? now you have to do the whole restart from the menu, but you have no reference for how much delay you're working on, and you're just going to be checking your trainer card for the first time anyway. how would the soft reset change the outcome?
thanks for this! I remembering learning about this years ago, but the guy made it sound so complicated that I never bothered to try it, but I got it to work in SS within a few hours
Tip for anyone wanting male shinnies - go for a shiny group "Female Lead (50% Male Target)". This will mean that Pokémon that have a 50/50 gender ratio will make the males have an increased shiny rate. As if you do a "Female Lead (87.5% Male Target)" the cute charm glitch will only work on Pokémon that have a 87.5% chance of being a male. The 87.5% group will not make all Pokémon have an increased shiny rate. So when picking a Female lead you are limited to the Pokémon's specific gender encounter rate. E.g if you wanted a shiny Abra in Gen 4, you would need to go for a group "Female Lead (75% Male Target) (as Abra in Gen 4 has a 75% chance of being male and a 25% chance of being a Female), however if you also wanted a shiny Zubat, you would not get the cute charm glitch as Zubat has a 50/50% ratio. I highly recommend if you are not bothered about gender just go for a shiny group with a male lead as that will mean all Pokémon will have an increased shiny rate except the ones stated.
Thanks so much for making this video! It was the one I found most helpful and straightforward out of all the tutorials I watched on this glitch, and I managed to pull it off in Diamond after about 3 hours! xD I caught a ton of shinies for myself and spent the past few days collecting extras so I can do a huge shiny giveaway this Christmas to end this not so great year off on the highest note possible :) I'll definitely be linking people to your video if they want to know about the glitch or try to do it themselves ^^
Thanks for the vid. Doing this glitch seemed complicated at first but was kinda easy to understand in the end. Took me abt. one hour to get my Trainer-ID.
Another confirmed working on Soul Silver here! Was a lot easier to get it right on the nds than it was the 3ds. I hate playing with non shinies so this is making replaying SS a dream
@Cj if I was being lazy I'd just cheat shinies in 😂 I love stuff like this. I spent hours on end playing with RNG abuse on DPP and I love shiny raids in SWSH. Getting it working is way more interesting than chaining or breeding... Which I have also done a LOT of.
Got my desired ID second try! The six beats from the Eon Timer really help. I guess it also helps that I play an instrument, lol. Easier to tap right on that beat! Time to test it out! :]
Thanks for this- I caught 3 shiny zubat today lol. Also huge props about matching the system, I tried for 4 hours this weekend to do the exploit with no avail. Switched the system as your recommendation and got it on the second try!
This is very informative. I want to start getting shinies left and right (after I gotten a shiny that I couldn’t catch in Soul Silver, somehow, within a few encounters. Heck, I would’ve been able to get a shiny starter if I so chosen with that luck in no time, but the game decided against it) Anyways, I just need to do step one, acquire a cute charm abilitied Pokémon, then the fun will begin. I’ll rewatch this video so I know that I’m doing the Cute Charm Glitch correctly, but until then, this has been some random person on the internet, signing off
No joke, watching this video while hatching feebas for a specific nature in heart gold.... AND BAM hatched a shiny!!!!!!!!! Only hatched like 10-15 eggs.
For you guys attempting this for the first time, there is a way for it to be done simply using an Eon timer (for D/P/Pt, although I'm sure once you have the information for a working TID/SID combo in HG/SS the same goal can be reached). Set your calibrated delay to 605, Calibrated seconds to 14, target delay to 6004 and target seconds to 23. Change the date to 5/30/2018 and start your runs on the timer at the time 10:55 on your DS. It may take a few tries, and you may have to adjust the delay by one or two every few tries to make up for any delay you may have, but I successfully obtained TID 02002 doing this and lost my shit when I found a shiny Shinx. Decent.
Here's something we can all laugh at, I put 00:57 as my time... when it was supposed to be 12:57 XD I interpreted 12 as being midnight not 12am... DOY!
I GOT IT!!! WOOO!! Thank you Timetofeelalive... though I'll have to try finding it again, as my second mistake is not erasing my old save file "^^ double bad luck haha
I GOT IT, AGAIN!! thank you so much Timetofeelalive again also. I'm excited to see how this goes and if the shinies are real Pokémon I plan to share them with as many people as I can in the gst to pass on that kindness! >w< I'll have to check first though so nobody gets soft banned but... thank you!!
@@Timetofeelalive Oh, you replied! thank you :D Hunting for a jigglypuff now... But I have a question if it's okay, I don't know if you'll know but it's worth an ask: If I tried transferring these shiny Pokémon into later games, and then place them into a gst or wondertrade for others to enjoy - would they be considered illegal Pokémon and cause problems for other people? I ask this because when trying to obtain a unknowingly hacked pokemon in gst there's connection errors and soft bans, and I wouldn't want to be responsible for that but like I say i'd love to spread on the kindness.
I got the correct target delay as the delay hit but not the correct trainer ID (I'm aiming for the same as yours), does that mean I fucked it up somewhere in the setup process? Or does the target delay not matter beyond the setup for the first attempt? I keep getting the same few IDs but none are the correct one lol (edit: nvm yes I did use the wrong time in setup lol, got it on my 4th try once I caught and fixed it)
I’ve gotten it to where I have the right target delay (6111) but I can’t seem to get the target second to 23 as it only shows as 24 on Pandora’s box… any tips?
To my understanding the pressing of A at the end time should stay consistent so that the Eon Timer adjusts to your speed therefore Helping you get the desires ID. Yes or no?
Question you mentioned that once you obtained your ideal seed/trainer card ID you can then attempt to to soft reset at starter selection to run through encounters for a shiny starter since the glitch does not work for them? How exactly do you do this? Do you save the game before starter selection and soft reset from there? Please and thank you
Cant get eon timer to work, at all, and I've been using the alt and FAILING for the better part of 3 days... I want this glitch to work so bad but I CAN'T do it! Please help me...
It won't run for me either. Just opens up a command prompt window for a sec and then closes. It looks like it's listed as a "known issue", but there hasn't been an update since 2019...
I keep ending up with a window of time that's too short to get through the TV screen before the timer runs out. I can spam the A button at the last beep but it still takes a few seconds for the game to let me actually advance. What am I doing wrong?
10:26 So if I enter “Joey” with a mix of upper and lower case, and the delay is on the wrong even or odd number, I would switch back to upper case after naming to try and get the right delay?
Thank you for the really clear tutorial. tried for hours last night using others and was still very confused, then i use yours and get the right TID and SID in about an hour. worked like a "charm"
How do you know if you got the seed right? Do I look at my trainer ID in comparison to the original one I started going for or wait until my delay seconds = 0?
@@Timetofeelalive Of my stars thank you so much! thank you thank you! you are the best! i was really starting to get nervous because no matter how often I reseted my 3ds I never got the id but now I know that I can get it with these settings. Thanks to you! keep up the great work
I'm Trying to use the Eontimer and I'm having a hard time actually starting the app. I downloaded the zip and stuff but i can't find the actually thing to start it up either htat or there's no instructions on otherwise
I got the Id after messing up and hitting the delay button twice I had to guess the calibrated delay. But once I did and went through three more times I seen 48625 knowing I hit the timer exactly at the right moment and not the “1” or “27” was the best! First shiny I got after I tried it out was a starly! Next I’ll have to try to get my own custom id. Any suggestions to keep the in game timer long? But for another id would help.
Congrats dude! Maybe start with the same delay in the eon you used when you hit the right ID? I usually just start from scratch as after 1 attempt it should be calibrated again and it only takes about 3 minutes
if the male lead will attract higher odds shinies from pokemon of any gender ratio, but always results in female shinies, then I think that means that you can get nearly any shiny except genderless critters (a shame, staryu, magnemite and voltorb are among them) or male only pokemon, which in gen 4 means tauros, hitmons, nidoran m, volbeat, mothim and gallade. presumably you can't get the gift tyrogue as shiny in mt. mortar.
Question, EonTimer doesn’t work for me so I’ve had to use that alternate link - when I’m setting up Seed to Time for SoulSilver and my desired year I’m getting like a fifteen minute wait (delay) is that normal?
I have been trying for 9 hours and im pretty sure im doing something wrong but im not sure what ;~; my only thought of what it could be im doing wrong is the whole updating the calibration thing, i noticed if i do that multiple times it eventually ends up making the timer way too short to the point where it’s impossible to get into the game before it finishes so i tried only doing that calibration step once for like an hour then i tried doing it every time tor an hour then i tried not doing it at all for an hour and then i spent the next several hours going back and forth between all of those, none of them seemed to work for me
Hi, sorry to bother, I was trying to do this trick and had a (I guess it might be a bit stupid) question. After some tries I got the target delay multiple times with the setup I had, however, the ID was not the same the tool gave me. I tried more times and still got the same target delay (with the 23 seconds and all) and all the times the same ID, still not the one the tool gave me. I should keep going and retry again and again?, keep the next one that hits the target delay?, Maybe I am missing something? Aside from that thanks for the video and the link to the different tool, very easy to understand and follow.
If you hit a 23 second ID you've very close, just milliseconds out. Just keep trying and you should get it eventually! If you still have not luck or something seems amiss, maybe restart the whole process and try again
for some reason eon timer wont work,i dont know if im doing something wrong when i open eon timer inside there are two files named bin and lib each conatining different things and they dont seem to do anything?
@@Timetofeelalive Hi I wanted to ask if it will work if i use the exact same settings as you did when you got it could you please tell me if it will work?
I dont have a real copy of of the gen 4 games I have one of those bundles that have pokemon diamond, pearl, and platinum even though they are counterfeit I still want to to do this. Will it still work with the game I have?
I've no clue if I'm honest! if the code is all the same then it should, you may just have to mess with the timings on the eon timer for loading up the game
i cant download eon timer, when i try to open it, it pulls up a black screen and instantly X's out of it :( theres so much going on on the eon timer website i cant figure out what to download

after 2 hours i managed to do it on hearth gold btw in my attempts i actually got the same wrong id twice in a row what are the chances of that happening ?
Question? When you were putting your Hours/minutes for your ds time. You had 02/21/21 so im confused on which is which. I know 02 is the hours but which is the minutes and seconds? Kind of simple stupid question but I don't wanna waste more time than I need to doing something wrong and not knowing it. Thank yOu!!

FYI I've just found out more about how the Female Leads work. You'll only get shinies when the target gender ratio is the percentage shown in the top of the Hex tables (87.5%, 75%, 50% or 25%). So for the best chance to get male shinies you'll want to go for a Hex from the '50% Male Target' table.

Does this mean all of them have an increased shiny rate? But the ones with a gender ratio dont?

@@Timetofeelalive Oh, you replied! thank you :D Hunting for a jigglypuff now... But I have a question if it's okay, I don't know if you'll know but it's worth an ask:
If I tried transferring these shiny Pokémon into later games, and then place them into a gst or wondertrade for others to enjoy - would they be considered illegal Pokémon and cause problems for other people? I ask this because when trying to obtain a unknowingly hacked pokemon in gst there's connection errors and soft bans, and I wouldn't want to be responsible for that but like I say i'd love to spread on the kindness.
I got this to work second try on a ds lite on pokemon soul silver
Nice!
I got the correct target delay as the delay hit but not the correct trainer ID (I'm aiming for the same as yours), does that mean I fucked it up somewhere in the setup process? Or does the target delay not matter beyond the setup for the first attempt? I keep getting the same few IDs but none are the correct one lol
(edit: nvm yes I did use the wrong time in setup lol, got it on my 4th try once I caught and fixed it)
Help me?
You can actually get a cute charm jiggly puff with the pokewalker before Kano. Just need to unlock a few courses
For poor people (like me) who cannot use eon timer and wants to use the vid it starts at 5:24
Eon timer is a free program on any computer…
What if my 3ds is so slow that I am waiting about 1,5 minutes to go to main menu and another few minutes to play game
Hopefully the eon timer should account for this after a few attempts
i want to do this but i think i’d get super frustrated. i wish it was easier to change trainer id lol
i cant seem to get it been at it for days im on hgss i know its user error im stumped
Sorry for the late response, hope you got it! Just needs some perseverance
I’ve gotten it to where I have the right target delay (6111) but I can’t seem to get the target second to 23 as it only shows as 24 on Pandora’s box… any tips?
You helped me a lot thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
To my understanding the pressing of A at the end time should stay consistent so that the Eon Timer adjusts to your speed therefore Helping you get the desires ID. Yes or no?
Yes 🙌
Thanks, very helpful. Video and i got the same. ID.. And it work for me. Perfectly.. Took me an hour but it was worth it
Nice one! Enjoy!
Question you mentioned that once you obtained your ideal seed/trainer card ID you can then attempt to to soft reset at starter selection to run through encounters for a shiny starter since the glitch does not work for them? How exactly do you do this? Do you save the game before starter selection and soft reset from there? Please and thank you
Yeah exactly that 🙂
do i need an authentic copy of the game in order for this to work?
Shoulld work on fake copies/emulators, although the timings might be difficult to work out
Cant get eon timer to work, at all, and I've been using the alt and FAILING for the better part of 3 days... I want this glitch to work so bad but I CAN'T do it! Please help me...
It won't run for me either. Just opens up a command prompt window for a sec and then closes. It looks like it's listed as a "known issue", but there hasn't been an update since 2019...
@@thedanliest My mate informed me it was a Java issue, I needed to re-install that and re-install Rinwar
@@DaikaijuDU I ended up just downloading an earlier version of eontimer and that worked for me
I keep ending up with a window of time that's too short to get through the TV screen before the timer runs out. I can spam the A button at the last beep but it still takes a few seconds for the game to let me actually advance. What am I doing wrong?
10:26 So if I enter “Joey” with a mix of upper and lower case, and the delay is on the wrong even or odd number, I would switch back to upper case after naming to try and get the right delay?
Yep that's right. Once you input the name, switch to Upper/Lowercase if the delay is the odd when you want even or vice versa.
My dyslexic ass could NEVER
i got the exact right delay, but 24 seconds instead of 23. how do i fix this so that i consistently get 23 seconds seeds
Thank you for the really clear tutorial. tried for hours last night using others and was still very confused, then i use yours and get the right TID and SID in about an hour. worked like a "charm"
The timer keeps going off before I get to the scene with the TV broadcast. Will it mess me up if I increase my delay?
Apologies for the super late reply, it shouldnt mess you up, but you just have to make sure you’re being super consistent with the timings
Does this work for Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire?
No only in gen 4 games: D/P/Pt or Hg/SS
How do you know if you got the seed right? Do I look at my trainer ID in comparison to the original one I started going for or wait until my delay seconds = 0?
If your trainer ID is the one you've been aiming for you should have gotten it!
Can I also use a Dsi instead of a 3ds or ds?
Yep should be possible on any system :)
How does this work, downloading this generator on your computer and using your 3DS or DSi separately??
Yes they are not connected
Seems a little wack at first but yes
Doing this. Got the same ID twice in a row
Getting so close either right above or right below
Damn, hope you got it in the end!
Omg sam how 21’000 views congrats plus 700 likes nice
Thanks :D I'm pretty proud not gunna lie c:
Hi I wanted to ask if it will work if i use the exact same settings as you did when you got it could you please tell me if it will work?
Yes it would work :)
@@Timetofeelalive Of my stars thank you so much! thank you thank you! you are the best! i was really starting to get nervous because no matter how often I reseted my 3ds I never got the id but now I know that I can get it with these settings. Thanks to you! keep up the great work
@@pinkdiamond786 No problem! Sorry for the late reply, has been a busy few days. Just to double check, these settings will work, but only for platinum
@@Timetofeelalive Im so grateful for your answer! Thank you so much! I wish you a great day! ^_^
I'm Trying to use the Eontimer and I'm having a hard time actually starting the app. I downloaded the zip and stuff but i can't find the actually thing to start it up either htat or there's no instructions on otherwise
Hey so I've made a quick video to show how it's done:
ua-cam.com/video/grKMJy6mNmU/v-deo.html
@@Timetofeelalive ah thanks. Right now i'm just trying to go for a neutral nature hopefully it goes well
I got the Id after messing up and hitting the delay button twice I had to guess the calibrated delay. But once I did and went through three more times I seen 48625 knowing I hit the timer exactly at the right moment and not the “1” or “27” was the best! First shiny I got after I tried it out was a starly! Next I’ll have to try to get my own custom id. Any suggestions to keep the in game timer long? But for another id would help.
Congrats dude! Maybe start with the same delay in the eon you used when you hit the right ID? I usually just start from scratch as after 1 attempt it should be calibrated again and it only takes about 3 minutes
I am having trouble with the eon timer
Timeto a question! once I got the exact Id number and I saved I dont need to do anything else right?
Yes but you need s cute charm pokemon:)
Ive been doing this for like 4 hours but haven't gotten the right ID, I feel like I'm doing something wrong, anyone have any advice?
NVM I switched to a different DS and did it in 2 tries. It really does depend on the system
12:38 how do you actually know from first glance that its the right one? because i never know when to stop looking
It's the same trainer ID as the one I choose at 3:13, hope this helps!
if the male lead will attract higher odds shinies from pokemon of any gender ratio, but always results in female shinies, then I think that means that you can get nearly any shiny except genderless critters (a shame, staryu, magnemite and voltorb are among them) or male only pokemon, which in gen 4 means tauros, hitmons, nidoran m, volbeat, mothim and gallade. presumably you can't get the gift tyrogue as shiny in mt. mortar.
Since I don’t have a computer and I’m lazy would it work if I just copied it straight off the video?
Question, EonTimer doesn’t work for me so I’ve had to use that alternate link - when I’m setting up Seed to Time for SoulSilver and my desired year I’m getting like a fifteen minute wait (delay) is that normal?
No that doesn't sound right, I haven't messed around with hg/ss and the alt timer, hope you figured it out!
great video!
I have the right ID but ive encountered like 70 pokemon without a shiny. I did a female lead cleffa w cute charm. What could i have done wrong?
I'm not too sure, do you definatly have the right gender cute charm mon?
I have been trying for 9 hours and im pretty sure im doing something wrong but im not sure what ;~; my only thought of what it could be im doing wrong is the whole updating the calibration thing, i noticed if i do that multiple times it eventually ends up making the timer way too short to the point where it’s impossible to get into the game before it finishes so i tried only doing that calibration step once for like an hour then i tried doing it every time tor an hour then i tried not doing it at all for an hour and then i spent the next several hours going back and forth between all of those, none of them seemed to work for me
Hi, sorry to bother, I was trying to do this trick and had a (I guess it might be a bit stupid) question.
After some tries I got the target delay multiple times with the setup I had, however, the ID was not the same the tool gave me.
I tried more times and still got the same target delay (with the 23 seconds and all) and all the times the same ID, still not the one the tool gave me.
I should keep going and retry again and again?, keep the next one that hits the target delay?, Maybe I am missing something?
Aside from that thanks for the video and the link to the different tool, very easy to understand and follow.
If you hit a 23 second ID you've very close, just milliseconds out. Just keep trying and you should get it eventually! If you still have not luck or something seems amiss, maybe restart the whole process and try again
idk if its cause im canadian or on a dsi but careful month and day are swapped. didnt waste 30 minutes before figuring this out...
Very silly question but can I use the SID to RNG manipulate static Pokemon as well or is the cute charm method only meant for random encounters?
for some reason eon timer wont work,i dont know if im doing something wrong when i open eon timer inside there are two files named bin and lib each conatining different things and they dont seem to do anything?
Hi mate, maybe try using the website version instead?:
not-an-aardvark.github.io/rng-timer/#download
@@Timetofeelalive Hi I wanted to ask if it will work if i use the exact same settings as you did when you got it could you please tell me if it will work?
Hey I am getting an error when getting the seed timer but IDK what is wrong as the seed is the correct
Nervmind got it to work, just needed to not have any leters in the seed ID
@@Aurum4137 Nice one!
I need the Glitch without Programs...
Can't be done I'm afraid, unless you're insanely lucky
I dont have a real copy of of the gen 4 games I have one of those bundles that have pokemon diamond, pearl, and platinum even though they are counterfeit I still want to to do this. Will it still work with the game I have?
I've no clue if I'm honest! if the code is all the same then it should, you may just have to mess with the timings on the eon timer for loading up the game
i cant download eon timer, when i try to open it, it pulls up a black screen and instantly X's out of it :( theres so much going on on the eon timer website i cant figure out what to download
Hi! The thing you need to click on the EonTimer site is called 'EonTimer-2.0.1.zip' undreneath 'Assets'. If you still stuggle to get it to work, try this site instead:

Hope this helps!
after 2 hours i managed to do it on hearth gold
btw in my attempts i actually got the same wrong id twice in a row what are the chances of that happening ?
hey i got the right delay of 5981 but my seconds are 25 instead of 23 did it still work?
No, i got 5981 delay and 24 seconds but it gives a totally different ID and SID.
Question? When you were putting your Hours/minutes for your ds time. You had 02/21/21 so im confused on which is which. I know 02 is the hours but which is the minutes and seconds? Kind of simple stupid question but I don't wanna waste more time than I need to doing something wrong and not knowing it. Thank yOu!!
Sorry 02/23/23*
That was the date, not the time lol, sorry for the really late response!
@@Timetofeelalive no problem thank you! I figured it out and I got my cute charm to work!
i got the exact same trainer ID twice in a row did i mess something up
Throwing this out there: u can get a cute charm jigglypuff in the safari zone in hgss
Are the programs downloaded and work on Mac? I dont have a PC readily available
eon timer wont open for me i 7-zipped it, and I even tried winrar, it wont open
I want to do this but I dont have anything to get RNG reporter on 😢
Does this glitch work in Renegade Platinum with 1/512 shiny odds patch on?
no clue, sorry!
