I'm trying to find a seed for a shiny Pokemon with very specific IVs(the only one that can vary is attack, and I still need it to be even to get HP Fire). For anyone who's already done this, what search options did you use? I'm currently trying it with a max frame of 20 and so far not a single match. Should I go higher than that?

Dies, died, will die.
i think we might be talking about different things, looking back. for any given seed, you have 1 bit which is 0 or 1. that's obviously 50/50. for awhile, the thought was that sync occurred every other frame due to a bad formula. i was talking about the latter, he was obviously talking about the former. so we're both right in terms of what we were each talking about. problem solved, my mistake.
Trial and error. Hit the seed, catch something, check the stats (nature, ability, gender, and encounter code). Hit the seed again, save once, catch something, check the stats. Repeat until you figure out where it is.
At least, that's how I've been doing it. There may be a faster way.
still wondering and also got another question. does sandstorm affect the nature of a pokemon at all?
Um, anyone? :x
Any suggestions on what I should increase my search options to in order to find a shiny pokemon with very specific IVs? I currently have the Max Frame at 20, should I go higher? Also, Max Shiny Frame(not even sure exactly what this is) is at 300, should I increase that as well?
Yes. It advances the PID frame by a lot. (Not sure if it's the same rate as rain)
How exactly do roaming Pokémon work? The seed was supposed to be 30/30/30/31/31/31 (Roaming Pokémon encounter type was selected), but the IVs I got were 30-31/30-31/30-31/20-22/31/31.
Stationary
Did you generate under "Roaming Pokemon," and display IVs on the main screen under "Roaming Pokemon?"
Ok, I think I'm having some problems with my frames.
I am trying to find a male Lillipup with a Calm nature on Route 1. A look at the Encounter Slots and RNG Reporter shows that my PIDRNG frame is 66.
I thought I was on frame 49, so I viewed chatot's summary 17 times. I sweet scented and found out I was on the wrong frame. I recalibrated in Terrakion's room (no NPCs) and my natures were: Jolly, Hardy (1 chatot view), Lonely (2 views), and Quiet (3 views)
I tried looking in RNG Reporter for those natures, but I'm around frame 900 and found nothing yet.
My seed is 6E21946EBB3F89C5, the time is April 1, 2011 at 9:50:40, my MAC address is 00241E0FED28, and the Timer0 is C7C.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Started the game at that time, watched the cutscene, caught Thundurus, and then all of its stats were right except for SpA.
Edit: did it again, same result.
ah i see. im glad i took a syncer when i did the RNG
Here is the next public beta release of RNG Reporter 9, the final one before official release.
Nope.
So, if I have a roamer frame of 15, do I withdraw a pokemon from the PC to advance the frame by 7, and then do 256 steps with 3 pokemon in my party putting me at frame 14, and then walk outside and go through the cutscene and release thundurus since he advances the frame by one to frame 15?
Never mind, I tried a different seed and it worked as expected.
Standard seeds (formerly known as non C-Gear) are encrypted. We know the encrypted messages for DS Lites\Originals, so we can predict them. But for DSis this is unknown. Soft-resetting and AR use also changes the encryption message in a way we do not know. This is why we cannot predict seeds under those circumstances.
Ok, I did the above steps and came out with a bold thundurus with these IVs: 17/31/30/31/30/31.
Seed: 4bb903f1ce3e08
Time: 13:43:14
Target IVs: 31/30/30/31/31/31
Target Frame: 15
Date: 4/27/2011
I plugged my full seed into the Method 5 (Theoretical Natures) and got Bold as the 3rd frame. Does that mean the PID was on frame 3?
EDIT: I plugged in my obtained IVs into the Time Finder, and it told me that I was on frame 20 with a different seed. What should I do?
1) RNG Reporter includes the +1 for roamers when listing IVs. You were short one advance.
2) The rain advances the PIDRNG by hundreds per second. Your PID frame is most definitely not 3. (p.s. the PIDRNG starts around frame 40-60)
