nidoran l4 manip pokémon red
4 years ago

I've been practicing this manip for the last four or five days and managed to get the correct nidoran for like five times (been following this video: ). In most of my tries I get this l4 nidoran instead: (10/8/10/9)

What are the stats of the correct nidoran? Would this one manage to do work?

I'm pretty sure it has to do with the A presses. They seems really fast which means you are likely to be missing the window. When you hit the npc stops for 2 frames. In a video it is hard to see that but you should be able to see in your screen.

The best advise I can give you is to start holding A when the npc starts moving into the right tile and only release it when he is on the way to the next one.

Every step is 17 frame (around 0.25s) so a little of pratice you should get it.

The stats you are looking for are 18hp 10/9/10/9. I know they look similar but 1/2/3 less dvs would generate those stats and then you get some weird results on fights such as not outspeeding Starmie or Alakazam (which generally means you just die).

For one, from the video it looks like you don't even have a GameBoy Bios on the rom. This causes every manip to fail if you do not have the bios. That said, if you DO have a bios, those A presses are way too short in my opinion. Holding them for longer technically gives them a better chance of hitting the window.

I guess it definitely was related with the A presses. Now I'm getting the encounter way more often.

Thanks very much guys!

Well now I've got a new problem

Despite the encounter problem's been solved, I've decided to check the stats at one point and noticed that I've been getting the wrong nidoran for a considerable amount of tries. Here's the video with the inputs:

But do you get the right one as well or only that?

There was an A press that looked a bit too fast but not sure if that leads to that nido.

Btw, for clear the Nido appeared text box, it is better to do A+B when is time to clear it (basically, I'm saying to not mash since it makes harder to get the clear perfectly which would make the yolo ball to not work. General advise to that is trying to do it sonner each attempt till you are going too soon).

Your last A press looks like it is one tile too early, which gets a 0/0/15/0 Nido instead of the 15/15/14/15 one.

15 DV Speed Kreygasm. Also you can tell if you get that Nidoran because it has 17 HP at level 4 instead of 18.
