>>45837583Doesn't matter if your battery is dead; Emerald has a faulty RNG to begin with and you'd be literally hitting the same batch of Regice (assuming you encounter the Regice at around the same time every time give or take a second or two or three)
The way the game works is that it loads 60 frames a second
As an example:
0 - Modest 15/13/20/8/5/12
1 - Docile 6/22/28/14/0/9
2 - Careful *insert random IVs*
...
at exactly 1 minute in you'll be hitting frame 3600.
Shininess is tied to frames. Frame 1308 could be your first shiny, and 5527 could be your 2nd. Or 13080. It depends on your secret ID. in other words soft-resetting for shinies blindly probably isn't the way to go unless you vary significantly on when you press A to encounter Regice
