'''Luck manipulation''' or '''RNG abuse''' ('''pseudorandom number generator abuse''' in full), or '''RNG manipulation''' refers to making a future event that is supposed to be random predictable, such as whether a wild Pokémon is [[bp:Shiny Pokémon|shiny]] or has good [[bp:Individual values|IVs]], or achieving a desired 'random' outcome through trial and error by frame-by-frame advance and save states.
Like how the result of rolling a dice depends on factors like the angle of the throw, computers and video games are not truly random, as the result must be calculated from something that is not random to begin with, though highly unpredictable values may be used in the process of making something seem random.
