In BDSP, the game operates on a constantly advancing RNG seed, which determines all random events such as shininess, and stats of encounters. Moarencounterbots can track & monitor seeds in real-time and even automate seed progression to a specific point. This automation handles the tedious RNG work, allowing you to focus on finding and hitting targets instead.

For most static encounters, you will need to consider the "delay", which is the number of frames the game takes to generate a Pokémon after input. For example, if the target is on frame 100 with an 85-frame delay, initiate the encounter 85 frames beforehand (100-85=15). A recommended list of delays for each encounter can be found inside the table below.

A list of screens can be found by clicking the hyperlinks in the table, these are the screens of the final button input, which is where you should be when attempting to hit a target frame.

Click the Gen 8 -> Static button after launching PokeFinder to open the main window for static Pokemon. Here is where we will fill in all the details about the Pokemon being hunted.

RNG Setup:

• Select the correct Profile in the dropdown menu at the top of the PokeFinder window.
• Select Lead if you are using a Pokemon with an influencing ability (like Synchronize).
• In the Max Advances field, enter the amount of frames you are willing to search through.
• Enter the delay inside the Delay field, pick the lowest possible number (refer to the delay table).
• In the Settings section in the middle, specify Pokemon and encounter details (e.g Roamer, Mesprit).
• Configure your search filters on the right, such as searching for any Shiny, or a 6IV Pokemon. Filters can be also combined.

Having a Pokemon with the ability Syncronize ensures that all encountered Pokemon have the same nature as your Pokemon. Your synchronizer needs to be the first team member in your party to work properly.

To easily obtain your current seed at any given point you can use the EncBotCopySeedBS routine in Moarencounterbots. You will need to toggle a few settings in the Hub tab to output the seed that is expected by PokeFinder.

CopySeed Setup:

• In the Hub tab, open the EncounterRNGBS dropdown menu.
• Select Bit64PokeFinder in the DisplaySeedMode dropdown menu.
• Set the MonitorRefreshRate to 0, this will be needed later.
• In the Bots tab, type the local IP address of the console.
• In the dropdown menu on the right, select EncBotCopySeedBS and add the bot.

When starting the EncBotCopySeedBS bot at any point your seed will be produced inside the Logs tab. These seeds can be pasted into the Seed 0 & Seed 1 fields of PokeFinder to search for targets that match your search parameters.

A Shiny Azelf that matches the search filters has been produced in 135305 advances. Since delay has been considered (85), this is the exact frame that we will aim to press the A button to initiate the encounter.

Undesirable Result?

• Reset the game to refresh the seed, then enter the overworld.
• Run EncBotCopySeedBS again to produce a new seed.
• Paste the new seeds into PokeFinder and search again.
• Repeat until a desirable result has been found.

Consider increasing the search range if you are consistently finding "bad" seeds. Moarencounterbots is capable of advancing millions of frames with ease using the EncBotDexFlipBS routine. Alternatively you can opt to use less strict search filters.

To advance large distances as quickly as possible, use the EncBotDexFlipBS routine. A description of this routine can be found here. Having a decent chunk of your Pokedex completed is important for optimizing this method.

Settings Toggles:

• In the Hub tab, open the EncounterRNGBS dropdown menu.
• Set the MaxTotalAdvances value to ~10,000 frames before your target (e.g if Target is at 100,000, set to 90,000).
• In the Bots tab, type the local IP address into the assigned field and remove any other active bots.
• In the dropdown menu on the right, add both EncBotDexFlipBS and EncBotRNGMonitorBS

After the settings have been properly toggled, open the Pokedex in game, disconnect all controllers using the unsync button, then start the bot. The bot will automatically pause the game when the MaxTotalAdvances has been reached.

You do not need to use the Dex Flip routine if your target is of a small distance away or if you are manipulating your starter Pokemon, standing in the overworld while monitoring your seed is effective enough in these cases.

• With the game in the Home Menu, remove all active bots and add EncBotCopySeedBS to the bot list, then click the Start All button and paste your new seeds into PokeFinder, this will provide your new starting frame.
• Remove EncBotCopySeedBS and add EncBotRNGMonitorBS instead, then start the bot to begin monitoring your seed. If done correctly the logs should start from advance 0.
• Unpause the game, stand within a single A button press of your target encounter, then let the RNG state advance until you are within a few hundred frames of the target.

You may optionally choose to manually advance the RNG state by scrolling the Pokedex. Be careful not to overshoot your target!

• Interact with your chosen encounter, reach the screen of the final button press (see the delay table if unsure), then pause the game using the Home Menu.
• Use the home mashing technique mentioned above to inch towards your target frame slowly, once you hit the correct target frame keep the game paused on the Home Menu.
• Quickly spam the A button to initiate the encounter, if done correctly the encounter should match what is expected by PokeFinder.

For Roaming encounters (Mesprit & Cresselia), the internal details are set in stone after setting them free, you will then need to chase them down and initiate a battle for comfirmation instead.
