Was going to say, this is going to be a HUGE gateway for a lot of people into the wonderful world of pokemon RNG manipulation :D Hopefully this is a start to a larger unlocking of the SV algorithms to make things like Raid RNG possible, or outbreak spawns, etc. Looks like its time to bust out the ol' Eon Timer!
Yeah I thought exactly the same when first learning about it, absolutely love it!! Will get more updates on this when we have more info :) thanks for the comment
@cookNR77 I was a gen 6 cloner. I did the cloning glitch where you'd need 2 3ds. The one where you need to turn one 3ds off whilst in a certain screen after 3 seconds. I got it down to count without a stopwatch which was an easier timing for me because it eliminated 1 whole step which is syncing the clock. I got my clones fairly easily at 1 attempts but it's usually up to 2 or 3, and that's when I got used to it. Good times. I gave clones away like crazy. When I get a new shiny that I don't have(before pokemon bank) I trade them usually a set of 3 shiny legendaries which again I got from cloning. Good times. Good times.
Me in the year 2024: Gamefreak why aren't i getting good pokeballs from the poke ball lotto :( Gamefreak: What were you doing in the early hours of May the 20th 2016?
Did this 25+ times. Got PP Max or Gold Nugget every time. Could not get all rare balls. Finally realized i was one month off. Correct date, 1st try all rare balls. Guess i just got overly anxious and wasn't paying enough attention to the instructor. But as always, thank you for all you do Osirus! Btw, I'm in US with older switch and about 1.5 seconds works for me.
This is interesting, this means that the pokeball lotto is tied to specific dates and times that is pre determined, I did not think that's how it worked I thought it was pure RNG
@@Osirus yeah to my knowledge they have never done anything like this method in any other way in any other game, even the cram o Matic worked differently than this
There is no "pure RNG" because binary code is incapable of it. It's always simulated somehow, just happens to be we now know the item printer is date based (which isn't actually the first time Pokemon has used time based rng)
I was having trouble with my timing, I'm on an older switch but not first gen, a year and a half after the switch came out in 2018. I found that 1 and a half seconds before the target time was better than 2 seconds for me, much more consistent.
Im getting the pokeball lotto everytime so I know i got my timing right but when I go to the All Special pokeball date it fails everytime. Im puzzled at this point
@regularguy8547 data mining is basically getting the game files on your PC and analyzing every file in there. Every game mechanic has to be somehow programmed by the developers so you can find that in the game files and figure out stuff like this. Take BDSP as an example: people figures out that the shiny charm won't affect random encounters at all because there is no multiplier in the game code.
Will, game's RNG being tied to the system clock is not something new. Old pokemons games had that so you could get a perfect IV/Natures you wanted. It just took long to find this combination of dates.
That's awesome, I wondered how "random" the roll was on these machines. It is amazing someone (or group of people) has been able to get even a couple of "perfect" times for this to work. Going to have to try this out tonight when I get home.
Set-up time (American version :3): *04/22/2024 1:27:09 PM* (PP max OR gold nugget) _(if on old switch, hit button on 7 seconds; otherwise hit it on 8 seconds)_ Beast Ball time: *05/20/2016 2:11:13 AM* (2 Dream, 2 Sport, 2 Friend, 1 Level, Moon, Safari, Beast) _(if on old switch, hit button on 11 seconds; otherwise hit it on 12)_ 5 Master Balls *25/03/2016 7:08:18 PM* (5 Masters, 1 Heavy) _(and finally, if on old switch hit button on 16 seconds; otherwise, hit it on 17)_
Ok nice! Been farming Beast Balls with the Smeargle thing (still haven't updated) so it's nice to know that there's a backup if I ever run out. I still think it's criminal that you can't buy Beast Balls like you could in US/UM. They're the ultimate challenge ball because of their insanely low catch rate. Ideally I want everything in a Beast Ball to show how much effort I put into catching, breeding, shiny hunting, training, etc.
@@Inoxcas Oh I have long since lost my mind in these games because I've done everything else. lol. My new thing is perfect shinies in Beast Balls. It's one of those things people think is hacked when they see it, but it's actually not that hard? I have a good 30-40 that I worked hard for. Before the Smeargle thing I was farming Beast Balls in that stupid Dynamax thing in Sword and Shield where you can buy them for 200 crystals or whatever. And then I would just catch a Pokemon in the beast ball, and then transfer it over to S/V to start breeding the right IVs and stuff onto it.
Literally was just thinking about this today, I used quite few safari balls and was thinking if there was still a way to just farm them with an exploit lol. Thank you for this.
Awesome! I literally learned how to speed run Scarlet/Violet for more Masterballs and getting extra once per save event Pokemon. Much easier to RNG manipulate for these in the lotto. Brings me back to Black/White hunting and my Hydreigon with perfect IVs. Even though the newer games are more forgiving with the hyper training and nature mints, it’s neat to know this exists.
@@jimmyffs I mean event raids like Meganium that Serebii lists as catchable only once. It’s possible to get up to 8 on a single Nintendo Switch with users linked to free Nintendo accounts. You only need to reach Los Platos Pokemon Center in the beginning of the game to access the Poke Portal and check the news. It takes longer to unlock the raids after beating the game (doable within 7 hours following speed run notes and videos) and Academy Ace Tournament and multiple 5 star raids (I think the requirement is 10 before the phone call) but you can do local co-op instead to catch Meganium.
Something good to mention would also be you have to upgrade the item printer to at least lvl 2 in order to unlock the Pokeball lotto. It won’t work if you just buy the initial printer.
I remember seeing the tweet from the guy who figured this out last year. Sadly it was kept a secret for the longest of time. Thank you for sharing for finally sharing it!!!
You're a godsend for covering this. I was soo confused by the threads and failed so hard before😅 but this tutorial makes is so clear! Love this little mechanic,, it's so random having to count seconds
damn; i just caught Miraidon in a beast ball the other day! i only had 2 from the lotto; luckily it only took me about three resets for the crit capture.
Hopefully we can figure out combinations to farm specific items. Like ability patches for quick cash and hidden abilities and XL candy to cut xp grinding.
Ability patches. 16 of them date to initiate item lotto is April 22 2024 1:27pm time delay 6 seconds 16 ability patches time is Aug 15 2043 5:32am delay is 13 seconds
I just tested it, I don’t think the 5x Master Ball date (3/25/2016 7:08:18 PM) in the video works for Americans. I did that date three times and it just garunteed a Dream Ball, a Moon Ball, and a Lure Ball.
@@aramob23 I think I figured it out. It worked when I set a timer for 17 seconds, but I’m on an older model switch, so accounting for the delay actually makes the time you want to go for is 19 seconds, not 18.
From the previous video, I was able to do that one perfectly. That was also from a Blaine video, but still. All the same. I'm doing the one for May 20th, 2016 and I have the older switch model, so I've tried doing it at 15, 14, 13 seconds, 12, 11, 10, 9 and 8 seconds lol I've been unable to even get the lotto to go off. That's the frustrating part. I didn't even realize there was a 2nd part
Okay have tried this a bit but just can’t seem to get the timing right. The two times I did get the Pokeball Lotto I didn’t even get the PP Up or Nuggets.
I have tested this myself and can confirm it works. You don’t even need high tier precision for this. Even if you miss it by a few ms it will still work 😂
It doesn't matter what pokémon game they make. There will always be somebody sitting out there that just figures out how to exploit something in the game
I get one star piece and then a 2x bonus. but my item printer isnt fully upgraded. does that make a difference? should also mention the item bonus is always the same. charcoal fairy tera shard loaded dice reaper cloth revive dragon scale oval stone max revive light clay dragon fang
Are there ones for the 2x item bonus? I would be more interested in getting more tera shards and treasures. But at the same time doing it normally might be faster so idk.
@@Osirus you can get x2 item bonus by hitting A at 6 seconds instead of 7 during the initial lotto setup. Good to kno about that OLED info i didnt see that. ty
I keep trying it for that specific time and date, but I'm getting a Star Piece and the Item Lotto instead. Maybe it's related to being American and using our MMDDYYYY format and the 12 hour clock? Edit: I'm also using the Ultra Ball version. Haven't updated it, so gonna grab a bit more BP to find out after upgrading it. Edit 2: Seems like I was right. It works differently if it's not Master Ball level. Took a few tries to get the timing exact, but that did the trick.
Omg I tried this and it worked on the first go 😂😎 idk how they do it but thank you to all the people who took the time to work out this exploit, u the real g 💯 Last time I used the item printer it gave me the 2x bonus literally 8 times in a row, I wasted all my hard earned BP and got no pokeball lotto, boy was I FUMING 😭😡💀
Is it normal that i keep consistently getting 2x items instead of the pokeball lotto? I might be 1 second off or something. Is this happening to anyone else? Im in the U.S. btw. Im doing 4/22/2024 1:27:07pm on a first released switch Edit: It worked finally! I accidetally waited 8 and a half seconds. I got a big mushroom, and activated pokeball lotto!! If anyone has a similar issue to me, then here's our answer.
What if the rewards from the pokemon academy league were predetermined? You could clear the league, set the Switch time to the right moment and then complete it then. Though I guess this exploit makes that redundant
I've tried so many times and it doesn't work for me. All I get is Star Pieces instead of PP Max and 2x Item bonus instead of pokeball lotto. anyone have any suggestions?
Wow, I guess even these days - 20 years later, Pokémon still can’t make anything truly “random” I imagine some form of RNG abuse will always exist, and if Emerald is an example we may be learning new things about these games for years to come !
Of course not. Because it’s using a computer to process the information it always be a psuedo rng. They can never truly ever be random. Manipulation will be possible no matter the game. From Gen 1-9 and the next game that comes out
Does anyone know if changing the clock messes with tera raids / outbreaks spawning? Not just changing them since they change daily anyways but i want to make sure they don't stop them from spawning for a period of time? I know they used to have some penalties in game in sw/sh for changing the clock. I spent all day yesterday using the item printer after days of collecting BP. I did get like 5 love balls, 4 lure balls, 3 fastballs,2 heavy balls, 4 sports balls, 3 safari ball, 1 masterball, 6 beast balls, 2 moon balls, 1 friendball, and 4 level balls. Which isn't bad but did take a lot of BP & Materials. 😅
Has anyone found a time that produces more than one beast ball? They're my favorite and I didn't stock enough of them back when the ride pokemon glitch worked.
I don't think I did it correctly, cause I tried doing the exact steps correctly, however, I think I might've been pressing the "A" button to do a print a bit early, which I kept getting 7 nuggets, and when the Poke ball lotto comes up, and I do the steps for that, I kept getting the golden glow, and not the glow I was hoping for. Even for the master balls as well, so, something's a little screwy.
Is anyone getting the first PP Max, but then it doesn’t activate the Poke Ball lotto? I’ve tried this like 3 times and it never activates the lotto. Am I missing something?
Has this been patched? I’ve got PP max over 50x and tried playing with the timing half a second either way. I can consistently get PP max, but never once got poke all lottery.
Im trying all the times with 1-3 second delays for all and they dont work =( the April 22 2024 one gives me x2 items consistently but thats it, does being on a switch lite have anything to do with this i wonder
I wonder if they’ll be able to patch this one, doesn’t seem like as easy of a fix as smeargle. Hopefully Pokémon just takes an L on this exploit and it sticks
Certainly not. It’s common for games to tie RNG with timestamps. It’s just that people are usually not able to datamine this kind of stuff since they use complex random seeds.
I tried this but all I keep getting for the 5/20/2016 date is just a dream ball and safari ball the rest are great balls and Pokeballs and I have a timer to tell me when to hit A.
so i’ve been following the time stamps and it was working to a tee but now i keep getting the gold nugget then two special balls. is anyone coming across this?
Have fun Item Printer Farmiing :)
Oh I plan to lol

The second date does not work. AT ALL. This is the second faulty tutorial I've seen, from you.

What about lure ball
For the 5 master balls, it’s 7 PM so put in 19 instead

Of course not. Because it’s using a computer to process the information it always be a psuedo rng. They can never truly ever be random. Manipulation will be possible no matter the game. From Gen 1-9 and the next game that comes out
Does anyone know if changing the clock messes with tera raids / outbreaks spawning? Not just changing them since they change daily anyways but i want to make sure they don't stop them from spawning for a period of time? I know they used to have some penalties in game in sw/sh for changing the clock.
I spent all day yesterday using the item printer after days of collecting BP. I did get like 5 love balls, 4 lure balls, 3 fastballs,2 heavy balls, 4 sports balls, 3 safari ball, 1 masterball, 6 beast balls, 2 moon balls, 1 friendball, and 4 level balls. Which isn't bad but did take a lot of BP & Materials. 😅
Didn't play SWSH so I hope there are no penalties. I spent all my BP trying for special balls and now I have to farm it all back up again. 😢
I'm not sure if I'm willing to use this exploit as half the time, I can't figure out which special ball I want to use for a Pokemon.
Has anyone found a time that produces more than one beast ball? They're my favorite and I didn't stock enough of them back when the ride pokemon glitch worked.
I don't think I did it correctly, cause I tried doing the exact steps correctly, however, I think I might've been pressing the "A" button to do a print a bit early, which I kept getting 7 nuggets, and when the Poke ball lotto comes up, and I do the steps for that, I kept getting the golden glow, and not the glow I was hoping for. Even for the master balls as well, so, something's a little screwy.
I had the same occurrence on my first attempts. give it a moment of hesitation, and you'll start hitting. Hope it helps, GL in your lotto's.
So uhhh going to April 22 and waiting 9 seconds on Switch Lite guarantees a 2x Items Bonus
Good to know
Is anyone getting the first PP Max, but then it doesn’t activate the Poke Ball lotto? I’ve tried this like 3 times and it never activates the lotto. Am I missing something?
Can't wait to try this ❤❤
Thanks for the comment Dani hope you have fun when you get around to trying it
❤❤❤❤Thank for info bro and your service
Works wonderful. Thanks Lee.
First try worked out perfectly but then I don’t know how, im stuck in the double item thing, every time i print i get double items it never disappears
Nvm
Has this been patched? None of them are working for me 😅
kind of a bummer there aren't more rng manips in scarlet/violet
Note to everyone please make sure your item printer is in master ball form not ultra ball lol
Has this been patched? I’ve got PP max over 50x and tried playing with the timing half a second either way. I can consistently get PP max, but never once got poke all lottery.
Im trying all the times with 1-3 second delays for all and they dont work =( the April 22 2024 one gives me x2 items consistently but thats it, does being on a switch lite have anything to do with this i wonder
worked on my switch lite with the oled delay at 2:11:13(click on 12), and only 3 balls clicking on 11s
I wonder if they’ll be able to patch this one, doesn’t seem like as easy of a fix as smeargle. Hopefully Pokémon just takes an L on this exploit and it sticks
Certainly not. It’s common for games to tie RNG with timestamps. It’s just that people are usually not able to datamine this kind of stuff since they use complex random seeds.
Thank you. I did it finally! However, I noticed there's no heavy ball. 😓
Does it work if the printer isn’t the final version
Do time zones matter? i notice you are on the lisbon time zone
those masterballs dont work for me because i just get fast bal and pokeballs
well, guess that shows it's not "random" but time specific... which is a weird design choice.
First time I've seen some legit RNG manipulation for Scarlet and Violet.
I wonder if there is a date you can input to give you tons of sport balls. This hack works great tho. 2 guaranteed sport balls is good enough for me.
do i need to have printer maxed out to master ball?
so youve just cannibalised Blaines videos and redone the same info yourself?
Thanks again Osirus!!!❤
Mirage Island, is that you?
do you have to fully upgrade the item printer to get the good balls?
Yes
I keep getting a Rock Tera Shard followed by the 2x item bonus when I'm going for the poke ball lotto am I doing something wrong? How far off am I?
nvm restarting my switch fixed it
Hmm I did get a bonus and ppmax but it was a double print not a pokeball 😢
Ironically this coming 22nd is a special day for me lol
I tried this but all I keep getting for the 5/20/2016 date is just a dream ball and safari ball the rest are great balls and Pokeballs and I have a timer to tell me when to hit A.
Tried the Master Ball one too didn’t give me any Master Balls
Me too
your timing is off
so i’ve been following the time stamps and it was working to a tee but now i keep getting the gold nugget then two special balls. is anyone coming across this?
as i said this, it started working for me again
Got like 4 pp max straight and no lotto. Is it patched?
I have never got the printer to do this. Never enough blueberry points .
Do u need the master ball upgrade
Now I won’t have to sell my soul for aprimons
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but I’m getting the pp max but then I’m not getting the pokeball bingo next. Can anyone help me please.
Now how to get all super items. Cause Id love to get all ability patches. So I can get them super rare items. Like kelpsy berries.
Has anyone figured out a date for Fast and Heavy balls?
Fast Balls:
09-01-2034
02 :33: 39
Heavy Balls:
10-31-2028
15: 17: 02
Make sure to select 5 printed items otherwise it won’t work.
@@gelrose8117 Thank you!
Okay I had it down but now I keep hitting the 2x bonus instead anyone else seeing this to lol
Does this still work? Updated my switch but not my game
Yes
Does it always have to be Girafarig fur we need?
No. It can be anything.
@@aprilvangieson8237 ok cool
