Hmm, I'm wondering, why can't I get spreads which has a "flawless IVs" on RNG Reporter? Can some RNG veterans tell me how to find a spread with flawless IVs, or to make the Pokemon flawless even if it's spread is not flawless? Anyway, I'm just testing this for RNGing in the future. Thanks! :)
Most people consider this as an allowed method of RNGing wondercard Pokemon.
So you should be fine :) Although you should state whether or not you've used a 'hacked' wondercard.
RedSpyda: Yes, you can do this several ways. The most common way is to verify and advance your delay/frame outside of the cave and then walk to Lugia. This "might" not work the first time as you're walking a couple of steps to Lugia but will always work the second time as you've already calibrated your results from the first, ie found out how many frames were advanced from walking to Lugia.
Another way to go about doing this is to recall that walking 128steps in an area with no wild pokemon (ie Lugia's cave) will advance the RNG by a number equal to your party pokemon. That said, if you have a seed for Lugia, just check to see if that seed is divisible by 2/3/4/5 after taking into account your roamers :) This way...you'd have to verify your delay by roamer location and not elm call.
The first way is easier imo :)

Nope, I don't think it's possible for Wondercard Pokemon.
In the great marsh in PLATINUM, I need some additional information :
First question : I know the encounter slots for binocular pokemon of the day are 6 and 7. However, when looking through the binocular , I see several different binocular pokemon on the same day. Does that mean that each of them is on slots 6 and 7 in the area I see them in?
For example, say I see a Tangela in area 3, a Drapion in area 4, and a shroomish in area 6, all of whom are changing Pokemon. So if I'm in area 3, slots 6 and 7 will result in encountering a Tangela, but in area 6 I will encounter a Shroomish. Is this how it works ?
Second question : there are wandering NPCs in the marsh. When I am in an area, do the wandering NPCs in OTHER areas advance my frame, or do I only need to look at the one in the area I'm in (so all I need is have him onscreen while I do my advancement)?

Just for trade thread purposes, should I list if the Pokemon was caught through an emulator? Since I will be RNG abusing mostly though it. (Well for captures and ID SID abusing)
Always. I believe I mention this in the RNG Research thread as well.
Well I don't see anything on it. (Unless it's on some other post) Thanks.
mingot and I discussed it a while back. It should have been in the Wi-Fi rules, I don't know why they weren't. Anyway, they are now.
Well, what ID/SID combination did you use to get shiny Adamant nature with 31/31/31/X/31/31 IV's?
Umm... guys, question about the PokeRNG. I've put my minimum delay at 490 and the maximum delay at 499. But when I get the results, I get this spread:
"PID: 7942ef72 (TIMID, ability 0) 31/31/31/31/31/31 (Seed: ca0501f0 Method 1: 142921, J (synch): 142878, J (no synch): None, K (synch): 142878, K (no synch): 142894) HP DARK 70"
As you can see, I've got a whooping 140000+ frames. Why is this happening? And do you guys have solution for this? Thanks! :D

No, hitting frame 140,000 will take such a ridiculously long time that it is worth it at all. I think you should just learn to hit a higher delay as it will save a lot of headaches.
seed d2140289 delay 639
PID: 7942ef72 (TIMID, ability 0) 31/31/31/31/31/31 (Seed: d2140289 Method 1: 114, J (synch): 71, J (no synch): None, K (synch): 71, K (no synch): 87) HP DARK 70
The only perfect spread for timid has ability 0. So if you're not using it on a legendary, make sure you want ability 0.
Edit: and you should be using Pikatimer. The search parameters you put in were pretty narrow. There's no need for that if you use Pikatimer.
