hey after several problems with this categorie which i already solved myself i got to the next problem where i need your help.
everything is working fine ..
- got the pidgey manip
- got brock skip
- got the "new"-ish way to the cave
- got ditto manip
BUT i cant catch it.
i tried it hours and hours like they described it in the updated guide document. but it never works.
do i miss something crucial? something only noobs do wrong ? :^)

There are more competent people than me to answer this, but I had a similar problem, so I'll try to help. There are a few frames at the beginning of the Ditto fight where you can catch it and all your inputs matter.
- make sure Bulbasaur's NOT in red bar, it makes it possible to act during the cry and messes with the frames
- don't mash buttons during the "Ditto has appeared!" message, try to time your A pressing to be as frame-perfect as possible
- make sure you don't let go of the up+a buttons too early while throwing the ball, I'd recommend holding it at least until you see it get in the ball
- remember to nickname your Bulbasaur a one letter name It's a difficult trick, I've done over 100 runs now and I dread it still, I'm chuffed when I get it on the first try. I'd advise you to get to that point of the run and practice just getting Ditto in the ball. It's frustrating because you won't know you're doing it right until you do it right at least once. If you need a run with inputs to check if you're pressing the correct buttons at the right times check out Shirokami_Cusp's.
Btw. What are you playing it on? If it's an emulator is it set up properly? Check if it's not skipping any frames, that could be making your life unnecessarily complicated.
first of all thanks for all your advices.
yeah im playing on an emulator ... bgb (ofc because of the GAMEBOY "bootlogo"). and no i dont think it skips frames...well actually i dont know ... i didnt change anything in the emulator settings except from showing the bootlogo ^^
With which controller do you play? I switched from my PS4 controller to the keyboard and do it on first or second try now pretty much every single time.
