Badge one completed of my shiny only professor Oak’s challenge
I learned about RNG manipulation a year ago and finally decided to give it a try. I own a copy of Pokemon sapphire that has a dead battery and figured I would give it a try, since I didn’t have confidence changing the battery on the cartridge. It was definitely a grind but I’m super pleased that I got this far and plan to go all the way with the challenge now.
Fewest frames for a shiny: zigzagoon/whismur at 7944 frames
Most frames for a shiny: surskit at 545625 frames (roughly 2.5 hours)
The reason for 5 zigzagoon was pickup while level grinding and some Pokemon aren’t fully evolved yet because I don’t have access to their evolution stones.
In a regular professor Oak’s challenge you would be able to acquire makuhita via a trade but since it is a trade Pokemon and is shiny locked, I have omitted it from this section as I am doing shiny only.
