Can you post a screenshot?

I then tested this with the time and date, and ended up with a Jolly Keldo with 0-4 HP IVs, 10-15 Atk IVs, 7-13 Def IVs, 0-1 Sp Atk IVs, 17 Sp Def IVs, and 11-17 Speed IVs. I then input those numbers and got these results:

The results are nothing alike, leading to my confusion.

You only searched with one Timer0 value, so most likely you just hit an adjacent Timer0 (either C7E or C80). Just try again, it should work eventually.

[TheChortler]

Try finding a seed that works again or try to hit the seed I've been attempting to hit again?

try to hit the same same seed you've been attempting to hit

I need help on finding the parameters, any of them fluctuating, etc. I know it is possible because I have done this in the past. I'm using a DSi, although is there any difference as I know acekard runs on DS/lite mode? (Or should I put it as "DSi/XL" in RNG reporter?)

Hello, I tried my hand at RNG and looked for a Shiny pokemon. the IVs are correct on my RNG'd mon but it isn't shiny. anyone know what the issue is?
EDIT:Also, the Gender and Encounter was wrong.
More info: I encountered the mon with Sweet Scent

[Princess of Johto]

Did you advance to the correct PID frame (the PID frame determines the gender/nature/encounter/shiny, the IV frame determines the IVs)? You advance the PID frame by saving (advances by 1) or using Chatot's chatter. The latter is recommended since it's faster. Record a custom chatter. Then, everytime you view Chatot's summary, the frame advances by 1.

Your target PID frame should be listed in the Time Finder. But to find out your starting PID frame (so you can determine how many advances you need to do), copy the seed. Then go to RNG Reporter's main window and change the method to Method 5 PID RNG. Then paste the seed in the right spot. Finally, click calculate initial PIDRNG frame and it will show your starting frame. Number of advances = Target frame - Starting frame.

If there are NPCs, you'll have to find your Shifted Starting frame. You do this by hitting your seed and sweet scenting right away. Check the IVs of your Pokemon. If they're correct, check the nature/gender/ability/encounter slot. Then, back on the main window of Reporter, click generate to see the PID frames. Match the details of the Pokemon you just caught to a frame listed. That's your shifted starting frame.

[CooltrainerAlan]

Oh OK. I didn't subtract the starting frame. Thanks a bunch!

[Executive Proton]

I'm trying to get the seed to get a perfect ditto in the wild but nothing appears in Time Finder. What am I doing wrong?

[Cereza]

Look over other years / months, use keypresses

[Executive Proton]

I have looked at other years but forgot about keypresses. Gonna check that out. Thanks!

I was wondering if there are any ranging tools (including this one) that have be confirmed to work with BW2 (Japanese). I want to start to learn how to range with BW2 since my DS and games were robbed.

I will primarily be using a DSi XL but that will switch to a 3DS XL before April's local Regionals. I wondering about methods to work with the starter Pokemon and of course wild for BW2. Also is there a YouTube video using the most recent version of the app for... dummies. I just have not understood any of the examples that I have seen online about the apps or the process.

Just to note, the term is RNG, which stands for Random Number Generator. It's not a big deal, but people might look at you funny if you call it the wrong thing :P

RNG Reporter and PPRNG already support the Japanese versions of BW2, and the English versions should be cracked within a couple of days of their release at the longest. As for the video, I'm not sure if he'll do anything new for BW2, but bearsfan092's videos were really helpful for me when I first started RNGing.

[ToastyTheDragon]

I have calibrated my RNG-ing already for Pokemon Black.
If I use the same DS, do I need to calibrate it again for White?

Different Timer0s between all versions. Same Timer0s with same version.

I.E. Black and White differ in Timer0
Black and Black have same Timer0

[ToastyTheDragon]

Okay, thanks.

I've tried somewhere in the neighborhood of 20-30 times and have gotten Rash nature a few times, but not the right result still. Is there anything else that I could try?

[voodoo pimp]

Check if it matches either of the adjacent Timer0s using the Adjacent Seed tool. If you're consistently hitting a different Timer0, you could try searching with that instead.

Alternately, since Timer0 is somewhat dependent on when exactly you press A to load the game, you could consider slightly adjusting your timing (try to press it a tenth of a second or so sooner or later than you usually do), but that's a bit harder to do consistently.

I have heard the RNGing using C-Gear does not work on the newer DS's, is that true?

why would you want to use C-gear when non C-gear is so much easier?

C-Gear RNG works on all DS models. You may be thinking of a while ago when non-C-Gear seeds didn't work on DSi/3DS; some guides that haven't been updated recently still say that. But like Cereza said, there's basically no reason to do C-Gear RNG except for Entralink (since that obviously requires having the C-Gear on), and if you're just going to do BW2 then it doesn't matter because C-Gear seeds don't exist at all in BW2 (turning on the C-Gear just advances the IV frame rather than re-seeding it).

Definitely false. I've successfully standard RNG'd on a DSi and 3DS, once it was figured out how to do so (the parameters for DSi and 3DS are way different from a standard DS).

Is it safe to assume that US-version BW2 RNGing won't be possible for a bit after release?

Depends on how soon the researchers get their copies, and how long it takes to work everything out. The basic stuff for the Japanese versions was all done in a few days, so expect it to be possible pretty quickly.

Speaking of, someone should probably update the first couple posts in this thread (or start a new thread) detailing important changes between BW and BW2 RNG abuse. Searching this thread isn't exactly easy.

Alright,

So, I am hitting my seed and I have no problem advancing the frame to get to my desired frame to supposedly get my flawless egg.

Here are my parents:

FEMALE LAPRAS
4/31/31/30/31/16

MALE TURTWIG
31/31/31/24/31/9

I am shooting for a spread of 31/31/31/x/31/31 which I am supposed to hit with seed 19C42192EEC90E9C. I reset at precisely 10/1/12 at 0:19:38 just like RNGReporter says and I have verified that I am hitting the correct seed and can properly advance the frame to my desired result.

By looking at the inherited tab in RNGReporter, it states that the male will transfer HP and Attack and that the female will transfer defense. The remaining 3 stats are blank which I assumed that 31 would show up in Special Defense and Speed, however it does not.

The seed states that at my specified frame (75) I will get my desired 31/31/31/x/31/31 spread, but it only transfers the ones that RNGReporter says it will transfer.

I guess I am confused. If the seed states that I will get a 31/31/31/x/31/31 spread, then why does it only transfer the first 3 stats to the egg? I have verified that I am hitting my seed with 2 other seeds and I get the same issue where it only transfers the ones that the inheritance tab says it will while leaving the other two stats <31.

Please help.
