Are Strong Encounters in the Wild Area gender-locked?

Question

So I needed to ask this before I set forth on my second Sword playthrough, this time with the Isle of Armor in the equation as well. I intend to use Mr. Rime on my team, raised from a Mime Jr. caught in the Wild Area, and would like it to be male (because it's MR. Rime); but past experiences have given me female Mime Jr. (it's the strong encounter for Rolling Fields during Blizzard), and even though I save far outside its spawn point and reset consistently, the Mime Jr. have always been female, regardless of what I try. Are strong encounters gender-locked to where I could only get a female Mime Jr. on a specific day no matter what I tried or is there something I'm missing?

Comments

I removed a comment chain that caused some confusion. @DarthPhazon that comment wasn't directed at you, the message it was replying to was removed by the person who wrote it. No need for name calling.

Some people think that it is a 24 hour reset time for those Pokémon, so that could help.

No but it's frame per if is when caching a female know your nature and it's nature and well it's not easy but it's sinking frames and nature's to get the desired results of your hunt. It's rather not for everyone but it's cool to see is finally work. Hopefully you can make some progress on your way to the mahem of crazy pokemath

whats your source?

Answer 1

The trigger for a wanderer to respawn varies. Some respawn as soon as the player leaves the area, some respawn at certain times (e.g. daily), and some never respawn.

You will need to respawn it. Get out of view to despawn. Save possibly then head towards it to spawn it in view. That should work as I've done this before for breeding purpose.

Most likely, you have saved in front of the Mime Jr with it already loaded in, (i.e, when you open the game, it's in front of you). When you do this, you are simply resetting the same exact Pokemon over and over again. In order to get a Mime Jr with different stats, gender, nature, and shininess, you have to save in a spot where Mime Jr is despawned, (you can't see him), and then walk/bike into his area. This should produce the results you desire.

Hope this helps!
