This item, obtained during the tutorial, can be a game-changer. Using it advances the RNG 313 times faster, allowing you to hit targets millions of advances away in seconds. Get comfortable with it; it will be your ally.
In-Battle
In any Gen 3 game, being in battle speeds up RNG advancement by a factor of two.
Trainer Card Flip
In Gen 3, doing a Trainer Card Flip resets noise-related delays, helping you focus on the default delay. It's a crucial step to do almost automatically. Access your Trainer Card and press A. Do this between 10k-5k advances before your target advance. This can save you a lot of trouble.
Minimizing Noise
To reduce vblank and noise issues, open your Trainer Card when starting your RNG, perform a flip, close it, and advance to your target advance. It sounds simple, but it's an effective strategy to protect yourself from unexpected surprises.
