My shiny starter hunt is helped by the fact that I have an R4i SaveDongle, which lets me determine the PID and exact IVs of received Pokemon.

My issue is that while I can find the seed that was used to generate the Pokemon, it isn't even near the Delay I think I'm hitting.

Trying to hit delay in the high 8000's
Actually hitting delay in mid 2000's and ~1m15s off

Starting timer at clock
Starting game at first countdown
Starting battle at second countdown

EDIT: Hozu, you might wanna rethink that.
I hit Sweet Scented M4 spreads on my retail Emerald on an official SP.
And it wasn't H-4 either; it was straight-up M4.

EDIT2: Wow, I'm supposed to hit Continue at the second timer, aren't I?
The TID abuse got to my head.

EDIT3: Sure enough, that was it.
Did it once, found out I needed to switch my Delay, got it Shiny second try!
