Create Pokemon FRLG Lucky Egg Farmer (Draft)

[Dalton-V]

Game

Pokemon Fire Red & Leaf Green

Type

New program.

A number of users have mentioned wanting a program to automatically catch Chancy in the Safari Zone. Then check for the Lucky Egg held item resetting if not found.

Supporting Code Needed

1. Need a HeldItemDetector.
2. Need to verify the different dialogue boxes.
3. Need a PartyMemberDetector to verify that there is empty slots for the captured Chansey.

Discord User Jack Mutsers has provided a lot of resources that I will attach here.

Setup Requirements

1.⁠ ⁠Empty your party so that you only have 2 Pokémon:
Slot 1: A Pokémon level 34 or higher

• This prevents encounters while walking to the Chansey location.

Slot 2: A Pokémon exactly level 26
Recommended options:

• For increased encounter rate:
  • Starmie / Staryu with the "Illuminate" ability
  • Diglett / Dugtrio with the "Arena Trap" ability
• For increased held item chance (1/5 instead of 1/20):
  • Butterfree with the "Compound Eyes" ability (its only ability)

2.⁠ ⁠Stand one step away from the Safari Zone entrance employee.
3.⁠ ⁠Use a Max Repel.
4.⁠ ⁠Save the game in this state so it can be quickly reset automatically.

Encounter Loop

I haven't physically done the loop yet so I might change this as I test for reliablity.

1. Move up for 75 ms.

2. Wait 500 ms.

3. Alternate movement until an encounter occurs:

   • Move left for 75 ms.
   • Move up for 75 ms.

4. When entering combat, wait until the Pokémon sprite becomes visible.

5. Press A for 100 ms.

6. Check if the encountered Pokémon matches the Chansey image or OCR Pokemon Name.

   If it is NOT Chansey:

   1. Move down for 75 ms.
   2. Move right for 75 ms.
   3. Press A for 100 ms (run/exit battle).
   4. Wait until combat has ended.

7. After Flee:

   • Check if the character is still in the grass inside the Safari Zone:
     • If yes, restart from Step 1.
   • Check if the character is inside the Safari Zone entrance building:
     • If yes, check for held items on caught Chansey.
   • Hopefully there is an obvious text box for returning to the building.

8. Checking captured Chansey:

   • Press X for 75 ms.
   • Move to the second option in the list.
   • Scan for Chansey sprites.

   If no Chansey is found:

   • Restart the game (A + B + X + Y).
   • Wait 1 second.
   • Press A for 100 ms.
   • Wait 500 ms.
   • Press A for 100 ms.
   • Press B repeatedly for 1.5 seconds.
   • Restart the program.

9. If a Chansey is found:

   • Check for the held item icon.

   If no held item is present:

   • Restart the game (A + B + X + Y).
   • Wait 1 second.
   • Press A for 100 ms.
   • Wait 500 ms.
   • Press A for 100 ms.
   • Press B repeatedly for 1.5 seconds.
   • Restart the program.

10. If the held item is found, stop the program.
