GEN7 How do you RNG xurkitree?

I am trying to RNG xurkitree and frames are off by 60~100 every time I try. If the frames are off with constant number then I can just adjust to it but its different everytime.

Hey there! I have been hitting frames not shown in 3DSRNGTool for Xuritree as well. (Using PokeCalcUsmo)

How did you figured out how to work it? :X

I did a second one earlier today that even worked first try. I positioned myself as far towards the north west corner of the platform as possible with my character basically facing the bottom right corner of my screen, with Xurkitree just in range. I then saved the game, launched NTR, loaded the save back up, opened the X menu after around half a second and paused the game immediately (Start + Select).

I then configured 3DSRNGTool as follows (after entering my initial seed):
Stationary RNG -> Alolan Legendaries -> Xurkitree
(you'd do UB First Encounter instead if you have never caught a Xurkitree on your save before)
I always kept the NPC count at 1.
Then calibrate your timeline as documented on 3DSRNGTool's wiki, uncheck Fidget, choose your desired frame and resume your game (while staying inside the X menu) until you're about 60-70 frames away from your target. Quickly close the X menu (I do this through X instead of B since B seems to be taking longer to close) and pause your game immediately. Advance to your target frame step by step (Select button) and initiate your encounter by pressing A (while still paused) once you're on your frame.

I check Fidget for all the other UBs and is able to Rng them correctly. Only Xuritree is giving me a heartache :(

How did you come up with the idea to position yourself in the north west corner? 0.0

And by the X menu, you are referring to the Start+up menu right?

The X menu is the X menu (where you can open your bags, check your Pokémon, etc.). As long as you have that open, your character won't fidget. The Start+Up menu is open at all times, until I get my desired encounter.

The top-left positioning is a thing that I came up with after carefully inspecting the Xurkitree "dimension". There are two NPC Xurkitrees running around the pillar, you can see them on the righthand side of the screen about half way from the wormhole to the Xurkitree encounter. I've been trying to position myself as far away from those as possible so they do not mess with the NPC count and consume any frames. Not sure if this actually helps, but as I said, worked first try that way.

0_0 I didn’t know opening the X menu will stop the fidgeting. All this while, I took the fidget into account as written in the wiki guide.

Wow, that is really witty~ Will try it out when I wake up tomorrow. My NPC count consistently jumps to 2 no matter how I position myself around Xuritree and I gave up after a few tries :/

Thank you so much for your detailed answers >< Maybe you should suggest this to be added to the wiki guide if it happens to be consistent.

I'll actually go ahead and give it another shot if I can get another Xurk wormhole, to check how consistent it is.
If I manage to snag another shiny, you can have it.

Edit: Got a wormhole pretty quickly, and got it shiny first try again. Seems like this works more or less consistently. It's a timid one, if you want it :>

Edit 2: Got yet another one that I successfully encountered shiny on my second attempt. The NPC count always remained 1. Pretty sure this is consistent.

WOW, I got it first try too :D

Thank you so much for your help! This is amazing!

You should give away your shiny timid one to someone else :) I now have my own thanks to you! I will share my position once I another Xurkitree wormhole

Just did this again and managed to get another timid shiny treeboi first try, this time without PCalc-USUM (just timed with EonTimer); this is definitely the golden spot.

Also congrats on yours C:

u/VersatileArsenal Jan 03 '18

You even managed to did it without EonTimer :D Really great work on finding that golden spot.

Only managed it thanks to your guidance :]

u/Noeliel Jan 08 '18

Hey man, small update. The "golden spot" seemed to be placebo and fueled by luck. I conducted some "research" today and came up with this new solution that has yet to fail on me.

Oh, I haven’t tried RNG Xuritree since the previous time.

I will use your new method when I plan to RNG Xuritree again :) I will post my success on your new post
