Filters

The Soft-reset and the Breeding bots have a feature that allows you to stop the bots when the pokémon or egg you encounter have certain stats or characteristics. These sets of data are called a Filter Set and are stored in .pftr files.

Usage

Before starting to use the Soft-reset bot or the Filter mode of the Breeding bot, you should create the conditions that will stop the bot. Each filter set is composed of one or more filters that are checked using OR logic, the results of one filter will not affect other filters, the bot will stop when the pokémon matches any of the filters of the set.

The first step is creating the set, in the Tools tab contains a Filter button, click on it to open the Filter Constructor window, then you can pick Shininess, Nature, Ability, Type of Hidden Power and Gender. For IV's, you can select a value and the logic that will be applied to that value, also, you can do the same with the amount of IVs set to 31. If you don't care about a certain characteristic, you can leave it blank or selecting greater or equal to zero in the IV case. After you've entered all the desired information click on the "Add Filter" button to transfer it into a list.

When you've entered all the desired filters you must save the set into a external file by making click on the "Save filter set" button, you'll be prompted for a location and a name. To recover a saved set, click on the "Load filter set".

If you want to remove a filter in the list, click the first cell (left to the Shiny column) in the row you want to remove and press the "Remove Filter" button. If you click in the "Read Filter" button intestad, the values of the selected row will be displayed on the window.

Notes

• Always leave the gender field blank when the pokémon is genderless.
• Be careful when using the Hidden Power and the IV feature at the same time, for example, don't ask for all stats having a IV of 31 and a Hidden Power other than Dark. Another example: Ask for Hidden Power Fighting when the Pokémon has three IV's set to 31. As these conditions are impossible to met, the bot will continue endlessly until you stop it.
• Even and Odd logic ignores the value entered in the IV filters.
• Also make sure the Gender / Ability / etc. is possible to obtain.
• When using filters with the soft-reset bot, be careful with your requests, most event pokémon has its Shininess defined in the Wonder Card, this also applies sometimes for all other fields, check the event information before starting.
• The filters are saved on a file with extension ".pftr", which is only a CSV file with changed extension.
• The program will save and load all filter sets by default in a folder called Bot located in the same location as PKMN-NTR itself.

Example

Let's suppose you are breeding for Ralts eggs and you want to stop when one of those events occur:

• You get a Male Ralts with Jolly nature and 31 IV's in Attack and Speed.
• You get any Ralts with a Bold nature and the Synchronize ability.
• You get any egg that would hatch on a shiny Ralts.

Follow these steps:

1. In the Filter Constructor, enter Jolly in the Nature field, Male in the Gender field, set the ATK and SPE field to equal to 31. Leave all other fields blank or greater or equal to zero, respectively.

7. Click on the "Save filter set" button, write a name for the filter and save.
8. In the "Breeding" tab, click on the "Load filter set" button and select the file you've created on the last point.
9. Fill all other options for the Breeding bot and start.
