Getting Started


Firstly, you will need to adjust the settings inside the Hub tab of SysBot.NET based on the specific details about Pokémon you want to hunt, such as the species and map location.

SysBot Setup:
Spawner RNG Setup:
  1. In the ArceusLA dropdown menu, set the BotType to match the Pokemon you are hunting. For the Genies set this to GenieScanner and for anything else use OtherLegendReset.
  2. Open the SpecialConditions dropdown menu, then select the correct ScanLocation based on the Pokemon you are hunting. If you have chosen OtherLegendReset, select the correct Pokemon under TypeOfLegend as well.
  3. If your encounter is located within a cave, or if you have any issues with using character teleportation, set RunToProfessor to True, otherwise you can leave this set to False to save time.
  4. Set MaxAdvancesToSearch to a comfortable amount; for Pokemon that do not immediately respawn, 50-100 advances are recommended as advancements can take a long time, 200-300 advances are recommended for everything else.
  5. In the StopConditions dropdown menu at the top, enter your desired IVs & Nature, you will need to close and re-open SysBot.exe every time you change these settings to ensure they have been properly activated.
  6. After re-opening SysBot.exe, enter the local IP address of your console into the assigned field, and select ArceusLA from the dropdown menu on the right, then add the bot to the list of active bots.
  7. Active bots can then be started by using the Start All button, and stopped using the Stop All respectively. You can confirm that the bot is able to interact with the console at this stage if you wish.
Ensure all controllers are disconnected, or that JoyCons are physically connected to the console before starting bots. Otherwise you will run into issues with the bots not accepting button inputs.

Figure 1 - Sysbot.NET Setup



Your setup should look similar to the above image, in this example the bot has been configured to search for an Enamorus with 6 perfect IVs.

More Information:

In-game Setup:

Setup will differ depending on which Pokemon you are hunting for, specifically if they are located in the main overworld or inside a cave.

Located in overworld:

Start the game in Jubilife, then manually enter the map that contains your desired Pokemon.

These are - Tornadus, Thundurus, Landorus, Enamorus, Cresselia, Shaymin & Darkrai.

Located in cave:

Navigate to the cave that contains your desired Pokemon and stand directly outside the entrance.

These are - Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf, Heatran & Manaphy.

Recommendations:
  • Bring a strong Pokemon capable of quickly defeating the target.
  • Bring plenty of healing items (e.g Potions, Revives, Elixirs).
  • Bring plenty of throwable items (e.g Sticky Glob, Ball of Mud).

Figure 3 - In-game Setup (Cave)



The bot should now be configured properly and the player should now be correctly positioned in-game, after doing this you can now begin searching for a suitable target frame.

Figure 4 - Searching For A Target



After disconnecting the controllers and starting ArceusBot, you will see that the bot has begun to automatically search for a desirable target seed, it will stop automatically when a result that matches your StopConditions has been found.

Figure 5 - Target Found!



A result has been found, in this case we have found a 31/0/31/31/31/0 Enamorus in 59 advances, it's now time to begin advancing towards the target frame until we reach the desired frame/advancement.

Advancing Towards The Target:

Frame advancement methods will differ depending on if your Pokemon is an forced capture or despawns when defeated, this section will cover how to advance frames in both of these scenarios.

Despawns When Defeated:

These include - Tornadus, Thundurus, Landorus, Enamorus, Shaymin & Darkrai.

  1. Knockout the legendary, then fly to a campsite.
  2. Sleep until night, then sleep again until evening.
  3. Fly to a cave and enter, then save and reboot the game.
  4. (Optional but optimal) Fly to a campsite then sleep until evening.
  5. Fly back to the legendary and wait 1 weather cycle for the legendary to respawn.
  6. Repeat from step 1 until the desired frame has been hit.
Note - Tornadus, Thundurus and Darkrai only respawn in certain conditions, Tornadus in a Blizzard, Thundurus in a Thunderstorm, and Darkrai at night.

Forced Capture:

These include - Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf, Heatran & Cresselia.

  1. Knockout the legendary.
  2. Click through the menus until you regain control of your character.
  3. Repeat from step 1 until the desired frame has been hit.
Note - All of these Pokemon are located in caves, with the exception of Cresselia, come well prepared to avoid needing to leave the area.

Unique Cases:

These include - Manaphy & Phione.

  1. Knockout the legendary, then fly to a campsite.
  2. Sleep until night, then sleep again until evening.
  3. Warp to Fire Pit Island and enter the cave, then save and reboot the game.
  4. Fly back to the cave that contains Manaphy and wait 1 weather cycle for it to respawn.
  5. Enter the cave, check to see if your Pokemon has respawned.
  6. Repeat from step 1 until the desired frame has been hit.
Note - Manaphy & Phione are unique cases, they are contained inside a cave but do not immediately respawn. The method used to respawn these Pokemon is more akin to the method used for Overworld.

NotForkBot offers an alternative method to advance frames that artificially alters the game time to simulate sleeping at a campsite, if you wish to use this method then see the Wiki for more information instead.

Use PokeViewer.NET's View function if you lose track of your current frame. Compare the Pokémon's details (IVs, Nature, PID, EC) to the logs from SysBot.NET to determine your exact frame.

After advancing 59 frames using the above mentioned method, the 31/0/31/31/31/0 Enamorus has been caught. That's all there is to RNG abusing Spawner RNG based Legendary/Mythical Pokemon!
