It's still an absolute crapshoot because of the rain.
What we need to do is figure out the rate at which the rain advances the PIDRNG, so it's feasible for someone using non-C-Gear seeds and a timer. The only problem is we don't have a way to verify the seed, so you'd have to track down the roamer and catch it to check.

There's a guy who gives you a random fossil once a day, maybe that could be used to check. Assuming there are no other NPCs between the roamer and flying off to the fossil guy.
