How Cute Charm Makes Shiny Pokemon EASY In Gen 4! (Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HGSS) 

I had a friend attempt to do this a few months ago. His first encounter was a shiny shinx which he ended up catching. Afterwards he wasn’t getting any shiny encounters, since he found out that he actually set up the trainer ID wrong. Turns out he managed to get a fills odds shiny by complete chance on the first encounter

When shiny hunting pokemons isn't enough anymore so you hunt for a *shiny trainer*

My god the set up is a full odds shiny hunt in itself lmao

Can you imagine if someone coincidentally got those specific IDs without knowing about this? They're mind would be blown when they suddenly start encountering so many shinies.

idc if the chance is 1/5, running from those shinies at the beginning hurt so bad

A friend of mine is doing this with one of his Gen 4 games. He's finding it hard not to catch all the shinies he encounters, and his boxes are getting filled up with shiny Sentrets and Hoothoots.

People will now hunt for normal pokemon after using this glitch

The setup was easier than expected, thanks to all the resources available. I was consistently hitting the right frames, but the ID was off for some reason, then I realised that I had to add an extra second buffer to my timer based on the IDs I was getting and what frames I was hitting. Did that and got it on my next try. Took me maybe 30 minutes. Probably would have only taken 10 if I realised earlier that I needed to shift my delay for the manip.

"Glitches" like this are really awesome to hear about, but I just never had the patience to attempt such things myself. All my shinies are either bred or found (or they're Johto's Red Gyarados).

Know someone who was lucky enough to already have the right ID's and such for this glitch.

I've been thinking of starting an old copy of Pearl over from the beginning. And wow, am I tempted...

I tried for a few months and gave up

found out about your channel today, im lovin it so far. definitely sticking around.

Tip for anyone wanting a male shinnies - go for a shiny group "Female Lead (50% Male Target)". This will mean that Pokémon that have a 50/50 gender ratio will make the males have an increased shiny rate. As if you do a "Female Lead (87.5% Male Target)" the cute charm glitch will only work on Pokémon that have a 87.5% chance of being a male. The 87.5% group will not make all Pokémon have an increased shiny rate. So when picking a Female lead you are limited to the Pokémon's specific gender encounter rate. E.g if you wanted a shiny Abra in Gen 4, you would need to go for a group "Female Lead (75% Male Target) (as Abra in Gen 4 has a 75% chance of being male and a 25% chance of being a Female), however if you also wanted a shiny Zubat, you would not get the cute charm glitch as Zubat has a 50/50% ratio. I highly recommend if you are not bothered about gender just go for a shiny group with a male lead as that will mean all Pokémon will have an increased shiny rate except the ones stated.

It took me about 2 months and 2-3 hours each day. It's worthwhile though! Really cool glitch

I knew about this but I thought it would never happen to me and I managed to get it done by accident on my Pearl copy😊

Did this to my Soul Silver copy and got a shiny Cyndaquil! It took me 3 attempts to get the correct IDs AND the shiny Cyndaquil in about 3 hours of hard resetting. The catch was if you got the right IDs but messed up the RNG manipulation for the shiny Cyndaquil you had to start all over again with getting the correct IDs. It was well worth the grind!

I have a copy of Soul Silver where i did both the Cute Charm glitch and RNG maniped a shiny starter. Took me ~3 hrs a day for 3-5 days. Unfortunately it's difficult to type in your own name when doing the glitch so to make it easier I used the random name it assigns when you press start on the name input. My file name is Shea.

I used an system called eontimer that counts how long it would take to find an appropriate ID. Using this system it took me 5 hours to reset for the first ID on Platinum, then 30 minutes on Soulsilver. Now I have two cute charm games!

Best method to get shiny Eevee's imo. Soft reset the post game trophy garden till Mr backlot mentions Eevee and go hunting!

Following a guide it was honestly pretty simple. Was able to get a Pokemon Pearl save set up on my 3ds in 3 Resets, took only 10 minutes after installing all seed generation programs

My trainer ID for SoulSilver is 11511 I’m assuming that’s bad? Lol.

I got my copy of pokemon pear with the cute charm glitch. I used rng abuse to get a specific ID, but it still took me multiple days to get it.

I just have fun abusing the Pokeradar in platinum... once you have a chain of 40, your odds STAY at 1/200. Even after your first shiny catch. 11 shiny eevees, 6 shiny shinx and 5 shiny larvitar. 😏 too bad I have no friends close that I can gift 🎁.

Tried this out, actually caused me to stop shiny hunting for like a year. It just entirely removed the shiny’s value in my eyes, guess it just isn’t for me :) still is cool

I finally bit the bullet and did this today and it only took a few hours. absolutely worth it if you know what you're doing

My first Platinum playthrough I ran into a shiny Geodude that used selfdestruct before I could catch it. That was the only shiny in that file and I put in thousands of hours easily as a 12 year old.

I did mine randomly without tools and it took an hour for me.

Just curious, if you hit an even delay, can you name yourself anything and just hit “ok” without doing any extra case buttons?

took me 8 minutes of actually reseting my id i got super lucky. put 100+ shinies in the wonderbox of pokemon home

My tiny human brain cannot handle all the calculations 😭😭😭

So does the trainer id / secret I'd actually help you get shinys = you want to change it for example or does it just work together with it normally

Very clear good job

I’d love to try and do this but I’m rubbish with doing stuff like this

If I have a shiny charm ID but am not looking to exploit the glitch at the current moment can I still soft reset for stationary Pokémon with the 4th gen default shiny odds?

I'm Lost But I'll Figure This Out Some Day.

I like your funny words magic man

Holy cow, shiny pidgy 15 encounters after being taught to catch a Pokémon. Very cool.

I used to have beef with someone who achieved this knowingly and sold himself as some shiny god LOL awesome video as always cutiepatootie ugh if only there was some super supreme subscribble option

I subscribe because of this video thanks bro 😎

I do not intend on starting any games over but on my second day of playing Pokemon Pearl a shiny Budew appeared. A few times I had gotten some shiny Pokemon as my fifth Pokemon through the Poke Radar. Should I just try Cute Charm and see what happens?

Is there a website where I can type in my trainer ID and it will tell me if it works or not?

Hey man I have a problem I want to do the glitch but I don't have a mac to use the eon calculator or the other program what else could I use ????

There was so many binary mentions that I literally could not tell of you can just reset a simple cartridge until you get it...

Cool! Now I have to catch a jigglypuff in all my gen 4 games!

Does the cute charm glitch work on the drifloon at will works ?

oooh i have like 3 copies of diamond, i should definitely set this up on one of them...... itd take a long time but itd be so rewarding

Could this stack with radar chaining? I know it would be pointless but still cool nonetheless.

I might do this for fun on one of my gen 4 games.

i have a copy of platinum that i got cute charm set up on and i have like 4 boxes of shinies and a full shiny team (minus the wigglytuff lol) it's a really cool glitch, and tbh the novelty of running into shinies every 5 encounters never really wears off lol

Since the targets need to have a gender this will mean it will only work with a select few legendaries as well: Latias and Latios and Heatran.

Idk will i do this or not the downsides is it makes shiny not special

Am i supposed to use the pokemon ID of the jigglypuff or??

Is a gen 4 TID 07761 good? All these numbers got me co fused

I did this to three games. The time it took varied but my first try took about a day and a half and my last try took about 3 hours. It's mostly just resetting to a clock

I got it in under an hour and im super happy

I've been doing this on and off for 3 years and still no luck. I'm unlucky.

I'm using my phone (computer is busted) and I got 08444 is that good or bad?

Can you show RNG reporter or pokefinder tool on screen?

Wait, so which ID numbers are good?

This... is so much work. I'm not that good with numbers lol but thank you so much for taking your time to make a video to explain things

Question. I'm trying to get a tid for cutecharm, once I get it do I automatic have to have a cute charm pokemon or can I wait to get to the Mansion to get one in Pearl

It took me about 1 hour of resetting

How close do the IDs have to be?

i must have gotten the secret ID that gives halves your shiny odds because in 18 years and thousands of hours of pokemon i have found 1 shiny sudowoodo, and that is it

I think if i usr this glitch i wont be jwppy with shinies anymore. Its like pokemon go. When i see a shiny in go, i dont get that exited, its not rare

what the best TID/SID combo? id like to edit it in pksm

lmao of course i remember this exists after i started a new game and i dont want to reset

I managed to do this by resetting and getting the perfect IDs, it took me 83 years 215 days and 10 hours

Im boutta use this to slug out some nasty hours tryna catch the king of the pond Magikarp at the resort. Wish me luck.

So… if my Id is 36791 and my sid is 34384 is that anything or?

I guess my ID was always whatever gives you zero shines lol.

ngl, ive been tryin to do the cute charm glitch on soulsilver but ive been having difficulty. 😕

i didn't understand anything that is soooo complicated, that my mind want TNT to blow up math of the id's on front of Satoshi Tajiri jesus christ is so diffuclt to learn a god damn glitch with the most not noticed pokémon Jigglypuff ( and counting the others that have this abillity, Cleffa, Clefairy, Clefable, Skitty, Delcatty, and Loppuny including the Jigglypuff evolution line on exception Minccino and Sylveo-...oh wait.. these are from gen 5/6...Ooops doopsie) (maybe Loppuny that is a bit noticed and is from gen 4)

This happened to me in soul silver. I don't know how but it was right around the time I transferred a Skitty from the pokewalker. I was running into a ton of shiny Pokemon and it was permanent. It happened after I would turn off the game too. I don't know how it happened though. Someone stole that copy from me 😞

what about pokemon that are already 100% female? Like Cresselia for instance, would this "glitch" still work for her?

So as someone getting back into it I have a general question. If I want to play against the odds and grind for each shiny, Is it as simple as whenever I come across a Pokémon I just turn the system off and restart it after saving? If the said Pokémon has a shiny version of it? I’m also confused about how to soft reset without turning the system off each time. If anyone could help me I would be very appreciative!

Do I need to start over?

Yesterday i started to play platinume on my phone again .Now you made this video how are you doing this

what if i want to hack what do i do then?

This glitch is working in soul silver?

I am guessing it doesn’t but does this work for gen 5?

I thought oh cool might do this then I thought oh wait I couldnt be fucked

I have a cute charm platinum and wow is it fun. Only took 6 total hours of RNG manipulation attempts to get the ID I wanted, 00200

Is there a shiny charm in platinum?

Shine on you crazy diamond

Im using your TID:27*** and SID:27***.....When I open pkhex...the default Arcues was already in shiny....this is a much relief. Im using your TID/SID in HGSS...It works like a charm...definitely playing this HGSS this year of pandemic.

does cute charm have any effect on shiny odds minus all this trainer id and secret ID set up? I'm not gonna restart my game so just wondering if having a cute charm lopunny is gonna have even a slight boost to my odds as i grind up in the wild? thanks

I’d love to do this but no way am I erasing my save.

How do you I know my secret trainer id

My first attempt I got a snimy shinx and a shiny starly

Great!!!...

I think this is cool to learn about. But I don't understand the binary code stuff. But I'm glad some ppl are good with understanding basic computer science stuff like that. I'll just try the cute charm method mostly. I forgot that it had that affect in Gen 4 with finding pokemon of the opposite gender. And if I ever decide I want to try this Shiny Method calculating I'll do so when I eventually reset my Ruby Cartridge.

Considering the shiny rate in gen 1 is 0%, your description is incorrect

l would say its likely faster just to soft reset or hatch for shinys, but it took 3 days for a shiny ho-oh in HG, and 3 WEEKS for tepig in B1 (that said, the best game to shiny hunt in is the alola games, because of the smaller pokedex makeing the shiny charm easier to get, + the masuda method and the 1 in 4000ish odds, makeing you able to find 0-2 shinys in 2-4 days (speaking from experience here)

I know I can't try it, but I'm just curious and go to find Jigglypuff, I want the male one and after some encounter, a shiny Jigglypuff appear I catch it tho, but of course the glitch doesn't start 😂 I'm happy, but more sad because there is no way for me to increase shiny odds in mobile emulator I'm happy for you guys who can try it I only can play ROM with increased shiny odds, but again, sadly there is not many of them I only can find SacredGold and it silver version Someday, there will be a way to increase shiny odds in mobile emulator. Someday I'll be happy too. Someday. :')

can you cute charm for shiny heatran?

Can anyone explain this in English or atleast just give me a simple set of things to do ;-;

My Id is 38454 on Pearl. What do you think? Also, whats my secret id on it?

i got a 38255 very close, is it still good number?
