Question

I'm playing on drastic ds emulator and I can't catch a shiny noctowl...i need it in every way possible so please tell me how can reduce pressure on my game....it slows down and freezes when the Pokemon appears

Answer 1

There's a couple of possibilities why this doesn't work.

• The code could have been inputted wrong.
• The game is overloaded with codes. (You can't have a ton of codes running at once.)
• The emulator could not accept the code.
• You aren't holding down the required buttons for the code.
• You are playing on an emulator and not actually playing the game.
