In "Pokemon", there is an existence that is different from ordinary elves. Extremely rare and special in color, it will attract the attention of trainers when it appears. They are - flashing elves.
Flash Elf (Japan: Colorful Elf) is a special elf whose color is different from that of ordinary elf. Since this elves will appear on their bodies and come with special effects when they appear, they are called flashing elves in the country. The chances of their appearance are very low, but their abilities are no different from ordinary elves, and their different colors and flashes do not change with evolution.
The chance of flashing elf appearing is extremely low, the color is unique and the special effects are cool. Since its appearance, it has been crazy sought after by trainers from all over the world. Scarcity is precious, and as a hard currency, the flash elves can be hung online to exchange for various divine beasts and fantasy beasts; the sarcastic appearance special effects also allow the flash elves to frequently steal the spotlight in various battles.
This time, let’s review the past and present of these legendary elves together.

flash elves first appeared in the second generation. With the emergence of GBC, Pokémon has also entered the era of color. In the official work "Pokémon Gold/Silver", the production team not only repainted a full-color portrait for the elves, but also added the new treasure element of the flash elves.
In the second generation, whether the elves flash is determined by their individual value. If an elf has a speed, defense and special individual value of 10 and an attacking individual is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15, it will be judged as a flash elf (this judgment also applies to elves teleported from the first generation). Since in the second generation, the individual individual values of the elves are 0 to 15, the probability of encountering a wild flash elf is 1/16×1/16×1/16×8/16=1/8192.
When hatching eggs, the probability of obtaining a flash elves will change according to the individual values of both parents. On the premise that both parents have a flash elves, according to the individual values of the gold and silver version, the probability of 1/16×1×1/2×8/16=1/64 is the probability of producing a flash elves, so a large number of trainers who have hatched eggs flashes appeared.
The Red Gyarado in Lake Angry has become almost the first flash elf for all players, and it is also the first flash elf in the entire game with only a fixed location. I vaguely remember that there were many rumors about gold and silver circulating at that time. One of them was that the flash elves were parents, and the eggs they laid had a high chance of flashing. This seems to be a rumor, but it is one of the few truths... If I had known this before, I would have taken few detours! Use that flashing Gyarado to lay eggs, easily give birth to flash mini dragons, and then evolve into flashing fat and instantly...
In the early days of the color era, this kind of elves with dark screens and splashing stars was definitely MAX!
Most of the data structures were pushed down and redone in the third generation, and the judgment of the flash elves also changed. In the third generation, whether an elf flashes is no longer linked to the individual value, but is determined by the trainer's inside and outside ID and the elf personality value (the personality value is different from personality, and is a new value introduced by the third generation, affecting the gender, characteristics and personality of the elf. The personality value is determined and will not change when the elf appears). Through cumbersome formulas, if the result is less than 8, then the elf is flashing. The probability of encountering a wild flash elves is 8/65536, and after simplification, it is 1/8192, the same as the previous generation. This method of flash judgment has been used until the fifth generation.
Chinese players also began to get into the pit in the third generation. Thanks to the emergence of VBA simulators and the popularity of PCs, gem fire leaves quickly spread throughout China. I have friends around me who are quite knowledgeable about simulators such as magical beasts and infinite elf balls, but one day he turned out the flash version of 386 elfs and stopped playing soon after he called out. Now think about it, for a game with the core goal of collecting, the sense of desirelessness and no desire after mediating all the flash elves should have instantly entered the sage time (laughs).
The fourth generation has added international marriages on the basis of the unchanged flash judgment. If two elves from different game versions lay eggs as parents, then 4 additional flash judgments will be made on the elves, making the chance of flash elves appearing to 1/2048. This method can greatly increase the chance of flash appearance. Elf radar appeared at the same time. By chaining a single elves, you can definitely flash. After using this method proficiently, you can collect all flash elves that appear in the grass (detailed explanation below).
Since the heart gold and soul silver is a replica version of the gold and silver version, there is still red Gyarados in the heart gold and soul silver
In the fifth generation, the flash judgment of international marriage increased by 6 times, from the original 1/2048 to 1/1366, further increasing the probability of the flickering elf hatching eggs. In addition, after completing the national picture book, the doctor will give players the shining talisman, which can increase the probability of encountering flash elves (it can increase the flash rate of international marriages to 1/1024).
In black 2 white 2, the power of the spell released by the C device can increase the judgment of the flash elf (can be superimposed with the previous method).
The sixth generation is the generation where the flash elves exploded. First, the flash determination formula was changed, and the player's flash value and the elves' flash value were calculated based on the trainer ID and the elves' personality value. If the two are the same, it is determined to be a flash. The range of the flash value is 0-4095. Therefore, the probability of the flash elves appearing is 1/4096, which is 1 times higher than the previous work. Shining Talisman and International Marriage will still increase the chance of flashing in the sixth generation and can be calculated with the previous probability. The phenomenon caused by the increase in flash probability is very direct. Since the release of XY, various reports of witnessing flash elves have been constantly on the Internet. For example, among the five electric sheep in a group battle, a trainer actually had to kill two of them (only one of them must be left in the group battle before they can throw the elf ball). For example, a trainer encountered a combination of 4 plate spoon snakes + 1 flash mongoose slash, because the two are natural enemies that are incompatible with water and fire, so he could only watch the flash mongoose slash being killed... When the gem was replicated, the official directly attached a flash iron dumbbell to all players, and I looked at the flash iron dumbbell that had appeared for one month in XY, and felt deeply deceived (laughs).
At the same time, a variety of flash flash methods have been dug out. Some methods are very efficient, and some methods can ensure the strength of the elves. Since it is in the sixth generation, these methods are listed one by one, hoping to help players in need.
group battle technique (X/Y/Ω ruby/α sapphire is available)
group battle is a brand new battle mode that appeared in the sixth generation. Players will fight 5 wild elves at the same time. Using sweet or sweet breaths of skills in the absence of rain will definitely trigger group battles. Because 5 elves will appear at a time, the occurrence rate of the flash elves will become 5/4096 (5/1365 after having the shining talisman). Since group battles are often required during hard-working training, you will usually encounter flash elves during hard-working training. However, this method is an enhanced version of encounters in the wild and cannot correct the personality, individuality and genetics of flash elves.
Continuous Fishing Method (X/Y/Ω Ruby/α Sapphire is available)
Successful continuous fishing at the same place will increase the chance of flash elves appearing. A very simple and direct method can be done in any water area, using any fishing rod. After catching elves, you can kill, capture and escape, which are all considered in the chain. Note that you cannot move/shut down and turn on. The most important thing is that you must catch elves for each rod. If you do not catch elves, the continuous fishing judgment will fail. Because there is a failure rate in fishing, we need to prepare an elf with a suction cup (effect: When the elf with this feature is configured at the top of the team, wild elf is more likely to hook when fishing), such as octopus barrels, tentacle lilies and upside down cuttlefish. In this way, the success rate of fishing will be increased to about 95%, and a flash elf can appear at about 100 consecutive strokes. However, this method has many limitations. In addition to being unable to correct the personality, individuality and genetics of the flash elves, it can basically only capture water elves.
Friends' wild area method (X/Y available)
Friends' wild area is commonly known as the back garden. After registering the FC number with friends, various elves will appear in the back garden. The probability of meeting the flashing elves in the wild area of friends is 1/512 (ignoring the sparkling amulet bonus). This method is simpler. Add more friends and just enter the back garden to meet elves. Since the elves encountered in the back garden are fixed 2V (V that is, the single body value is 31 full value, the same below) are unshape groups of 3V and have a chance of dreaming characteristics, this method can obtain a stronger flash elves, but the personality cannot be guaranteed.
Shaking Grass (X/Y available)
Elf Radar appears in the fourth generation for the first time. In XY, players can find a doctor to get the Elf Radar after passing the level. After using the Elf Radar in the grass, some grids will begin to shake in the nearby grass. When stepping on the shaking grass, you will encounter wild elves. After killing or capturing elves, the Elf Radar will automatically continue to search, and when you escape, you will stop searching. At this time, enter the grass. If you encounter the same elf as last time, you will enter the chain after killing or capturing the elf again. After repeating the above 40 times, the appearance rate of the flash elf will be increased to 1/200. At this time, you will continue to use the elf radar to search until the flash elf appears (the flash elf has special effects and sound effects). Then you will definitely encounter the flash elf after entering the flash elf. This method can be used for elves appearing in the grass, but it is more cumbersome to operate and there are many things to pay attention to.
Ninjutsu system (Ω ruby/α sapphire available)
Using the new function of the gem replica version of the Ninjutsu system can increase the probability of flash elves appearing, but since this method has not been fully parsed, there is a dispute over whether the chain needs to be chained, so it will not be expanded in depth.
Egg Hatching Method (Available in the full version)
The flashing elf produced by the hatching egg can fully customize the genetic characteristics of individual personality, but because the probability of the previous version is low, it is not popular. In the sixth generation, international marriages can increase the egg flash rate to 1/683 (up to 1/512 after obtaining the shining amulet), thus spawning a large number of egg flash parties. Due to the cumbersome operation, the egg-locking method is not expanded here.
Flashing Divine Beast (Ω Ruby/α Sapphire available)
Flashing Divine Beast has always been prohibited by in-game data. Except for the official delivery few, it can only be obtained through external modifications, but in the gem reproduction, this ban was finally broken. Except for the Imperial Sea Imperial Tooth Diosci, other divine beasts can appear in flash forms. The method of flashing the divine beast is relatively boring, and players need to SL hundreds or thousands of times in front of the divine beast.
Although the probability is very low, the flashing beast... does exist!
1. In the second generation, the flash judgment is as effective as the elves teleported from the first generation.
2. In the second generation, the HP individual value is determined by the other four items, so the HP individual value of the second generation flash elves may only be 0 or 8, and the other items are fixed values. Therefore, in the second generation, the flash elves are weaker than the carefully cultivated higher individual elves.
3. In the second generation, the shape of unknown totems is also determined by individual values, so only unknown totems of I and V forms may flash.
4. In the second generation, the awakening power of the flash elves can only be grass or dragon.
5. There are no fixed location flash elves in the third generation, but in the fiery red and green trainer tower, there are 3 NPCs that use flash elves to fight (Meow, Goldfish King and Sun Elves).
6. In Black 2 White 2, players can encounter a level 60 flashing double axe battle dragon in the nature reserve. In addition, after defeating Fanshilang in the black skyscraper or white tree hole, they will give the player a flashing round land shark (Black 2) or flashing mini dragon (Black 2). In total, two flash elves with fixed locations can be obtained, which is the best in history.
7. The Red Gyarado in Angry Lake is the only flashing elf with a related plot. The reason why the body turns red is because it is illuminated by the Rockets' strange radio waves, retaining the color of the carp king.
8. Some glitter elves will have completely different color expressions in the evolution chain (such as glitter green caterpillar - Bada Butterfly), while some glitter elves that can evolve MEGA, the body color will change again after MEGA (such as glitter geng).
Green caterpillar evolution chain, except for Bada Butterfly, all colors are very different from the ordinary version

9. The official has delivered many flashing beasts with the theater version. The overlord of M13 Phantom is the flashing Thunder Gong Yan Emperor Water Lord, M16 Speedy Genosekite is the flashing Genosekite, the latest theatrical version of M18 Light Wheel is the flashing Genosekite (Arceus with pre-sale tickets has a 1/3 chance of flashing), and these divine beasts are all in the theater version in the flashing form.

10. There is an unwritten rule among domestic players: 200 words of flash, that is, 200 words of textual comments must be accompanied by a 200 word presentation (200/pin). The number of words in this article...is definitely enough, I hope the trainers can let go (escape).
February 27, 2016, the 20th anniversary of Pokémon, the addition of the simplified Chinese version made us cry, and the seventh generation of "Pokémon" is about to come. The Glitter Elf has also accompanied the series for 16 years. From the original red Glitter to the white iron dumbbell replica of gems, from picking one from thousands to one with one. As a semi-hidden element, the Glitter Elf has gradually become well-known to everyone. The change in probability and the change in player's mood are the microcosm of the progress of "Pokemon". The story of the flash elves needs to continue. What is the probability of flashing in the next generation and what kind of exciting encounters will be? Let's wait and see!
