While you can use this method to get half the items, it is recommended you get these via the Double Item Time to save up on Materials.

If you need materials go get started on this task, one of the best ways to get more materials is through doing Tera Raids. Both Ditto Goo and Happiny Dust can net a whopping 68% per print on top of the amazing items you can get by running the raid!

While unreliable, Mass Outbreaks and Outbreak Events are also great ways to get materials for the item printer. Combine that with a Sandwich, and you can grind up materials while getting Shiny Pokemon!

| Tips, Tricks, and FAQs |
|---|
| When should I press "I want to print something"? Due to differences in Screen and Controller latency, it is impossible to fully predict and really takes some trial and error. |
| How do I know if i've successfully done the exploit? The best way to know is when the screen starts to fade at the exact second you need it to be. |
| Do I have to rush picking Pokemon Materials? No, you can take as much time as you want picking materials as the printed items are decided beforehand. |
| Do I need to be disconnected from the internet? No, you can do this trick while online since the exploit is conducted on your system. |
| Is this even legal? While certain people may disagree, since this method plays with the way the game is coded, it's just as legal as any other RNG Manipulation strat. |
| Do you need a Master Ball Rank Item Printer? If you are printing for items, it will definitely not work as the Stellar Tera Shards can only be unlocked once you get Master Ball Rank and will mess up the rewards if you don't have it. |
| Do I need to use Military Time? It is easier to set your Switch to Military time so you don't have to convert times into AM or PM. |
| Is this even legal? While certain people may disagree, since this method plays with the way the game is coded, it's just as legal as any other RNG Manipulation strat. |
