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 some gifts, you may 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 64-frame delay, initiate the encounter 64 frames beforehand (100-64=46). A recommended list of delays for each gift 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 from the dropdown menu at the top of the PokeFinder window.
• Select the Lead if you are using a Pokemon with an influencing ability (like Synchronize to control nature).
• In the Max Advances field, enter the amount of frames you are willing to search through.
• Enter the delay (refer to table) inside the Delay field, pick the lowest possible number.
• 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 a 6IV Pokemon. Filters can be also combined to look for specific results.

Mew, Jirachi & Mystery Gifts are shiny locked, this means it is not possible for these gifts to be shiny at all. Do not filter for shiny on these Pokemon as you will never find results.

To easily obtain your current seed at any given point you can use the EncBotCopySeedBS bot routine in Moarencounterbots. You will need to toggle a few settings in the Hub tab for use with 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.

In Figure 3, we can see that a 6IV Jirachi that matches the search filters has been produced in 39896-39900 advances, and the same spread is produced 5 advances in a row, this is known as a "frame cluster". This means we can aim to hit any of these frames to hit the desired result, the higher the cluster, the better the chance there is of hitting the correct frame.

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.

Clusters only appear for non-shiny Pokemon, if the gift is not shiny locked (e.g Riolu, Happiny, Eevee), and you are searching for a shiny, you will not be able to find clusters.

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 NPC, 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 redeem the gift, if done correctly the encounter should match what is expected by PokeFinder.

If you have a full party and an empty slot in Box 1, your Pokemon will be sent there. If not, deposit your Pokemon in Box 1 to use PokeViewer's Box View function.
