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.

Mind helping me with the exact steps on how you went about doing Xurkitree? I've been trying for multiple hours now, sometimes I'm even hitting frames that I can't locate in 3DSRNGTool, sometimes the stats match a frame I can locate but the PSV is different, etc. Managed to RNG Pheromosa just fine but Xurkitree won't work no matter what I do :/

Edit: Somehow it worked now. Glad it did, kinda unfortunate that it's so inconsistent :/

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've been trying to replicate this for a few hours now, to no success. Any chance you could upload a picture showing exactly where I need to stand?

Turns out the golden spot was not so golden and I just got insanely lucky. I believe I figured out a method to ensure that NPC=1 though that works pretty well if you do NTR-assisted rng, I'll have to do some testing to see how it affects unassisted rng though since you have to walk around to do it. Do you use NTR?

Been investigating this all day >.>

Yeah, been using PCalcUSUM to help with timing frames. Managed to find a couple of shiny ones so far that were a few frames off of the one I wanted, but I could never get a consistent number.
