4th Gen Pokémon Shiny Hunting Bot

This Arduino project is designed to automate shiny hunting for legendary Pokémon in 4th generation games through soft resetting.

Components

• Arduino board (main microcontroller)
• Two servo motors (press A button and START button)
• Photoresistor (detect light changes on Nintendo's screen)
• Two input buttons (save SRs count and change settings)
• LCD display (show SRs count and servo failure percentage)
• Elastic band (hold Nintendo's back buttons)
• Weight (hold down SELECT button)
• Lego bricks (bot's physical structure)

How It Works

The bot uses two servos to automate Pokémon encounters. The photoresistor detects light changes during a Pokémon fight scene. If the Pokémon is shiny, the encounter animation lasts longer, and the health bar is displayed with a slight delay. This delay is used to check for shininess.
