The way normal fossils work is essentially that we're on a timer. The game says "ok you have x amount of rocks to dig up before you're guaranteed a normal one." So no matter which rock i would've dug up, it would've been normal. Might as well grab the one closest to me.
I said I'd track the crit rates of the TAS's vivosaurs, so... At the end of chapter 1: Spinax: 3/10 (30%) Shanshan: 1/2 (50%) Spinax's manipulated crit rate is currently twice as high as it's actual crit rate, while Shanshan is only at +10% Some other notes: 23:11 I tried for this RNG in my own TAS, but never even saw a max damage crit. It's absurdly rare. 26:10 That rock might be my fault, I think there was a miscommunication in the TASing discord. Ideally, you would fill your bag in Chapter 1, before the game can spawn jewel/battle rocks. 26:36 Since Shanshan can OHKO the other Shanshan, it's technically possible to win in two turns (Turn 1 Spinax Fang, Turn 2 Crit Spinax Fang + Crit Shan Fang). I assume that would save a bit of time.

18:26 Why is it necessary to grab the dummy rock? It is RNG manipulation, and are the results of uncovering rocks calculated when you dig them up?

I'm glad there are still improvements! Keep at it!

Why is the quality low?
Because tbh I don't know how to encode the video at higher resolutions yet. It's an emulator thing, not a RUclips thing.
fun fact i figured out how to record at higher resolutions
