Wrong encounter slot/seed for a few Unown from gen 3 #4332

Closed ymaniz09 closed 1 month ago

ymaniz09 commented 1 month ago

Describe the bug Currently I'm using pokebot-gen3 to shiny hunt Unowns. A few of them are being marked with an X in front of the origin seed. Since they were not manipulated/edited, I believe there should be a bug on calculating the origin seed.

I checked this one on PokeFinder: image

This is not a bug.

The X means Synchronize failed, not that it couldn't calculate a seed. You can see that your Unown have a green check mark, which means at least one legal seed+lead was found. If multiple possible seeds+lead exist, the program can't tell which one created it, but the requirement to be legal is at least one works.

Thank you so much for this detailed explanation!

I'm not sure the explanation is correct; if it was a synch fail, it would say so.

The X usually indicates a failure to find a method H starting point. I'll check how the program is resolving it in about a week. Vblanks can disjoint the correlation, hence why X isn't flagged illegal like in Gen4.

I have multiple bots shiny hunting on Gen 3. I just noticed the X in a very, very few Pokémon. Please let me know if you need any further information.

You're right. I confused the "X" notation with the "Synchronize: X" notation. Reopening for more investigation later.
