Pokemon Emerald: RNG Manipulation for 100% Completion
How to obtain the recommended Pokemon to complete 100% Emerald:
- Latios (for Battle Frontier)
- Metagross (for Battle Frontier)
- Swampert (for Battle Frontier)
- Kecleon (for Liechi Berry in Mirage Island)
Emerald RNG Mechanisms
All recommended Pokemon for completing 100% Emerald are stationnary Pokemon.
The IV, ability, nature, and PID of stationnary Pokemon only depend on the frame the battle starts (time elapsed since the savefile was booted).
General Requirements
Latios
Goal: Latios. Nature: Modest, IV: HP:29, Atk:21, Def:15, SpA:31, SpD:23, Spe:29.
Requirements
- Eon Ticket (to access Southern Island)
- After defeating the Elite Four, picking Red as the color on the TV so Latias is roaming Hoenn (and Latios is in Southern Island)
How To
Target Frame: 4571
Stats: Male, Modest, HP: 154 Atk:94, Def:92, SpA:165, SpD:126, Spe:129
- Step 1: In PokeFinder, select Emerald, Gen 3 -> Static. Method: Method 1, Category: Legends, Pokemon: Latios. Filter: Check Show Stats. Press Generate.
- Step 2: Go to Southern Island and save right in front of Latios
- Step 3: On RNGTimer, select GBA mode, Frame 4571, Calibration 0.
- Step 4: Start the timer. When it reaches 0.000, reset the GBA (Start+Select+A+B).
- Step 5: When the timer reaches 0.000, press A to start Latios battle.
- Step 6: Catch Latios
- Step 7: Find the row matching the caught Latios
- For example, if the caught Latios is Impish, HP: 143, Atk:95, Def: 99, SpA: 135, SpD: 124, Spe: 121; then this means the actual frame the A button was pressed is 4567.
-
Step 8: In RNGTimer, write down the actual frame the A button was pressed in the "Frame hit" field, and press Update.

Repeat Steps 4-8 until the caught Latios has the wanted stats (Male, Modest, HP:154, Atk:94, Def:92, SpA:165, SpD:126, Spe:129).
