i'm trying to rng (platinum)
also i want to know what people normally use for calibrated delays (platinum)
thanks in advance

Will walking 128 steps advance one frame for every pokemon in your party, or only those with a happiness value less than 255?
Walking 128 steps advances the frame for every mon in the party, regardless of happiness.
This way already be in the forums somewhere but I would be glad if someone could answer me directly. I'm trying to achieve an odd delay (713); using pikatimer. And I am only getting even delays like 714, 712 etc. Can someone help me correct this, if it is possible? Because it's really annoying to miss my seed by just one delay! :S
Are you talking beginning of the game or later from the Daycare. Either way you must find out your SID first. Also I don't advise trying to abuse the one you get from Elm as it is a pain. If you really want to I'll try and dig up some guides, but in the meantime go through the game so that you can unlock all the prerequisites outlined in post 2 for RNG Breeding.
Read this for Poke Radar help
In DPPt, normal delay is anywhere between 600-680, start with 620 and work from there. As to NPC's, what exactly are you concerned about? If its for catching, each area potentially has different NPC's that advance the frame, for breeding THERE ARE ALWAYS NPC's advancing the frame which means you need to calibrate to figure how much each time you do a new egg, if its for a wondercard then there are a few marts with only one moving NPC but they can still cause frame headaches. Overall NPC's are dickholes who enjoy ruining an RNGers fun.
I'm going to try this out myself before I even try to theorize on it. Just by doing a simple search it seems that it is generated the same method as chained shinies but no one seems to know the corresponding method k frame.
Either add a GBA game to your DS, or remove if you have one in already. Or on the game menu scroll down and up.
You can also adjust the year by 1 to change the delay to an even delay( since your target is 713 in 2011, in 2012 it will be 712 or in 2010 714). I don't recommend this method though.
Need a little help
Hello guys.
I'm new to this RNG process, and I have some questions regarding a flawless ditto I'm trying to catch.
I'm using the 5d000242 seed for Method K Pokémon (im on ss), with a Calm Sync in the lead.
Based on that, my pokémon should pop out at frame 10. (Calm, flawless)
I'm planning to catch this Ditto on route 47, but I wanna be sure if I'm doing it right.
Frame - Roamers RNG - Sweet Scent Monster Frame would be = 6.
10 - 2 - 2 = 6. Am I calculating this correctly?
After 6 calls to elm, I should use Sweet Scent, right?
And heres comes another thing. I wanna be sure Ditto is the pokemon I find.
I don't really undestand the encounter slots thing, but it says Sweet Scent : 2 in the RNG Reporter, and checking in a database, Ditto is slot 2 in route 47.
Can anyone help me with this?

Sure, as long as you're talking about Lugia's inner cave (the one with no random encounters).
i would be making the calls right outside of the inner cave then doing the walking inside his inner cave
Yep, that should work.

Did you already abuse for shininess/ability/nature/gender?

Alright, did you do a test hatch?
Now, go to RNG Reporter's Time Finder, and go to 4th Gen Egg IV's. There, enter the IV's from the parents you got into there, enter the desired IV's and hit generate. Find yourself a seed on at least frame 9, maximum frame 20. Just hit that delay, advance to -1 before your spread and then take the egg as fast as you can. :)

1. Yes sir.
2. Well, with that I meant if your seed is on frame 18, you have to advance to frame 17.
3. I don't know if you have time to get your AR in on time, but if you want to use it afterwards, you have to save, and if you do that, you have to breed another egg.
Are you sure your calibration is correct? Set the delays in the seed to time to +/- 999 so if your hitting your time youll know where your at even if you are way off, enter that into the hit delay and repeat until you hit it
and as for your question about AR, you can use it just fine, instead of Soft reseting, load the game from the AR menu at the end of the first timer
I've been trying to hatch a shiny shroomish egg in Platinum to have 31/31/31/x/31/31, and have only now realized that the fact that it's shiny is probably why my coin flip results are so far off that they don't even show up in the adjacent results. Is RNG Reporter capable of giving me the info I need to get this done, or should I give up now so I can stop slamming my face into a wall?
Yes, I realize I'm not posting any of the relevant information, I figured it would be pointless if it turns out that this won't even work anyway. If I CAN get my awesome-stat shroomish from this existing shiny egg, then I'll post all the info. I have read the PRNG guide, so if this is already explained somewhere in it, then I am a huge idiot for failing to notice it, and I apologize.
EDIT: Okay I'm just going to tack the info I originally typed up onto this, even though it may be pointless.

If it helps at all, my ID/SID are 22237/01105.
What are you trying to capture\hatch?
Shroomish with 31/31/31/x/31/31, shiny. Egg is already confirmed shiny with appropriate nature/ability: Jolly/ability 1.
What is your target seed and frame? What is the delay of that seed?
I've actually tried a variety of them, all with the same failure described below. The latest attempt:
Seed: 280B0442 / Frame: 10 / Delay: 1079
How did you verify your seed?
Coin flips. Game is saved with this app showing. This is where things start to go completely wrong: I can't even find the results for the coin flip sequences I'm getting in the adjacent rows generated by RNG Reporter. This is happening with every single seed/frame/delay combo. I don't know how else to locate it, as by the time I can dash out and catch a monster to check my seed/delay, it's apparently too late because it gives a "check your date/time" error.
If you tried and failed, what results did you get?
RNG Reporter's output for above seed/frame/delay:
T,H,H,T,T,T,T,T,H,T
What I've gotten:
H,T,T,T,H,H,T,T,T,H
