I'm not sure if you would call i success but I've had some luck with saving infront of Mewtwo. What I've been doing is starting emloop on some crazy high frame number as I SR, sweet scenting as soon as I enter the game to find my initial seed using Wichus RNG program, then using RNG reporter to find which frame i actually scented, then searching from shiny frames available on that seed, at a point further than im already at on emloop. (Hope that made sense)

Alot of big flaws though, your not guaranteed a decent spread on the seed you've hit, plus you only have the one chance to hit your frame before restarting the whole process. Although if you have the patience it is still more reliable than SRing for a random nature and IVs.

There's no sense in throwing in additional variation (by waiting upwards of ~2 minutes) to the experiment.
I disagree, button mashing is full of undesired variables, using a program such as emloop minimizes the inconsistencies as you have a visual and audible aid for when to scent. So setting it to a number such as 10,000 is quite comfortable and not rushed in any way. Although a lower number is quite usable if your giving yourself enough time to not rush yourself and make forced errors.
