Luck manipulation (Generation III)

The current seed is calculated by multiplying the previous one by $41C64E6D, adding $6073, and then taking the result modulo $100000000. This happens once per frame outside of battle, and twice per frame when in battle. ^{[clarification needed]}

Emerald's initial seed is always 0. When the internal battery has run dry in Ruby and Sapphire, the initial seed is always $5A0. Thus, in these games, a Pokémon with a desired IV spread or PID (which determines shininess) can be obtained by setting a timer when the game is reset and encountering the Pokémon within a 1 frame window. However, complications may arise with Method H encounters. ^{[clarification needed]}

When playing Ruby or Sapphire through the emulator in Pokémon Box, Rayquaza's stats are generated by Method 4 as opposed to Method 1. ^{[clarification needed]}
