Here’s how to hunt for shiny Hoenn starters in Pokémon Emerald via soft resetting (SR’ing) + what to do if you find an uncatchable shiny Zigzagoon. These tips are almost identical for a dry battery Ruby/Sapphire. *See notes on full odds and internal batteries below.*

📝 Quick summary:
1. Restart the game often, every 35-75 or so Soft Resets (SR’s). (Save in front of Birch’s bag. Then for each reset, choose your starter, send it into battle to check if it’s shiny, if it isn’t press A+B+Start+Select simultaneously to SR, and repeat.)
2. Vary the timing of those SR’s. (The time from pressing ‘continue’ to selecting a starter with ‘yes.’) I use the position of the location panel to do this, doing about 5-7 with each specifc timing.
➗ About full odds: If you find a shiny Zigzagoon, you’ll want to wait 2.35–2.38 seconds longer to get yur shiny starter. I personally don’t consider a shiny starter I find via SR’ing in Emerald to be full odds if I found a shiny Zigzagoon before on that file. (If I’m confident it was with the same shiny frame.) Since I knew the early shiny frame was there and I timed it, it was a form of RNG manipulation. But I completely understand getting the shiny starter this way since you went through extra effort to account for Emerald’s lacking RNG and didn’t get to keep the full odds Zigzagoon.
🪫About dry internal batteries:
🟢 For Emerald, a dry (or missing) battery doesn’t change anything. (The RNG is already broken, but full-odds shinies can still be found on it with some strategies.)
🔴🔵 For Ruby/Sapphire, a dry (or missing) battery will cause the RNG to behave like Emerald’s always does. (In which case you can apply the tips from this video, but the location panel doesn’t drop down, so you’ll have to time it another way, like by counting in your head or using a stopwatch.)
Side note, I was ShinyCollector7. My sincere apologies for suddenly leaving without explanation. I was too caught up in things I was going through. But I’m grateful to be back!
Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for watching!
All the best 🪷
