From what I understand, it has become unnecessary to calibrate and is easier to RNG with the use of timers, but I am still unsure of where to begin. I have also read that it is not possible to obtain perfect shiny Pokémon because what you can obtain is limited by your ID/SID. I should also state that I use a mac and PPRNG. If anyone is willing to help point me in the right direction to begin I would greatly appreciate it. VM's or PM's would be cool with me, thanks.
Try looking at http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3467154. PPRNG is pretty similar to RNG Reporter just menus look different so most of the concepts should carry over. Basically the only way of getting perfect shiny Pokemon in Gen IV is to abuse your ID/SID to be shiny for that specific spread. So say you want a good Hidden Power Fire Timid attacker PID 53671DFA is probably what you'd look for and you'd want to abuse for an ID/SID combination which makes that PID shiny.
