  1. > BASIC INFORMATION
  2.  
  3. This manip gets a 3 frame cluster for Raikous on Route 37 with good stats and an ideal Hidden Power
  4. - 1st frame (f11): DVs=F98E [Ice 69] (L40 stats: 131/85/72/108/96/103)
  5. - 2nd frame (f12): DVs=FDCB [Ice 70] (L40 stats: 132/85/75/105/93/106)
  6. - 3rd frame (f13): DVs=F9DC [Ice 68] (L40 stats: 133/85/72/106/94/107)
  7.  
  8. Manip Concept:
  9. - Save before loading the Ecruteak girl NPC (on this tile: https://i.imgur.com/De3SqRi.png)
  10. - Hard reset and buffer the intro
  11. - After pressing Continue, wait on the file info screen and hit one of 3 consecutive frames in a cluster
  12. - Bike to bottom of Ecruteak (left tile on r37 border), watch the NPC while biking to the tile
  13. - If she immediately moves left, unbike and do manip for f12
  14. - If she stays facing right, bike up 4, down 4 and watch the NPC again
  15. - If she faces left this time, unbike and do manip for f13
  16. - If she continues facing right, unbike and do manip for f11

  20. Approximate offset for GBP/GSR: ~12.091 seconds
  21. - You can use the practice ROM and/or practice save at bottom of this paste to calibrate your offset (or find a game audio cue)

  25. > REQUIREMENTS
  26.  
  27. Conditions that must be met for a save to work with this manip:
  28. - PoisonStepCount = 1 (more info below)
  29. - StepCount must be between 0-100 or 128-228 (a few other values also work; more info below)
  30. - Party Size = 3 (Croconaw + Kenya + Poliwag/Egg)
  31. - Another manip for Party Size of 2 may be forthcoming
  32. - Base RTC = 17:5x:00 (StartHour/StartMinute/StartSecond)
  33. - More info on RTC can be found here: https://pastebin.com/11Pb08Tf
  34. - If you are doing Toto manip (info at bottom of paste), you already do steps to ensure this
  35. - Somewhere between 10 to 59 minutes have elapsed since RTC was initialized
  36. - Your player sprite must be the girl character, on the bike, and facing right
  37. - A repel must be active and have >= 28 steps remaining
  38. - No pokes in party can be poisoned (no specific requirements other than removing PSN before saving)
  39.  
  40. Things that don't [appear to] matter:
  41. - Whether or not you've fought Greg (r37 spinner)
  42. - Whether the save was buffered
  43.  
  44. **NOTE 1: After the Rival 3 battle, PoisonStepCount is set to 0. PoisonStepCount increases every step you take thereafter, but goes back to 0 on every 4th step (0->1->2->3->0->1->2->3->0, and so on). Two noteworthy exceptions to this: (1) PoisonStepCount doesn't increase on a step where a Repel wears out; (2) when jumping a ledge, PoisonStepCount only increases by 1 (despite moving 2 tiles).
  45.  
  46. The Raikou route repels before r36 grass, gets the Magnet on r37, then must repel again in Burned Tower. Right now, to get the correct PoisonStepCount, repel after entering Burned Tower as soon as encounter immunity runs out (turnframe + first 3 steps have encounter immunity), then waste exactly 3 tiles before saving (waste either 1 or 3 tiles before roping out). The repel will still be active and last just long enough for the manip. If you accidentally waste extra tiles, the repel will not last long enough for the f11 or f13 manips.
  47.  
  48. **NOTE 2: StepCount starts at 0 from New Game, and doesn't get reset. It does, however, go back to 0 on every 256th step. RNG can be affected if StepCount reaches 128 or 256 (0) during a manip. It appears you need to waste a handful of steps prior to Raikou manip to get into the 0-100 range (you are somewhere around ~250 with no wasted steps), or you can track your steps to try to land in a safe range (e.g. 249-253 work for all frames).
  49.  
  50. The exact problem values are the following (includes some weaker Raikou encounters):
  51. - f11: 102-106, 108, 114, 118, 127, 230-234, 236, 240, 242, 246, 248, 254, 255
  52. - f12: 109-113, 116, 127, 237-241, 244, 255
  53. - f13: 101-104, 107, 110, 118, 127, 229-232, 235, 246, 255

  79.  
  80. (Note: since a strong Hidden Power Ice is crucial for the Raikou route, location manip does not serve any useful purpose; grinding on Route 37 for a random Raikou in the event of a no encounter IGT is fruitless.)
