That does not answer my question at all.
Maybe I won't ever get a better explanation of timer0 than "a magic variable that you have no control over, good luck", but can you at least answer

....that's literally what it is.
Keep trying with the same time settings and you'll eventually hit it. Or recalibrate to see which values you get semi-consistently.
Depending on the type of DS you have, you'll get either more or less timer0's for BW2. And like Age of Kings said, recalibrating to find which you hit the most is very useful, that way you can use one of those timer0's, and get results more consistently.

True I din't answer this question BUT I told where to ask if you want a more technical answer.

Okay, that's good to hear. I didn't really want a shiny anyway... thanks! :D
hi, trying to get a shiny swarm pokemon in black 2
found some seeds with nearby shiny frames in time finder encounter type wild pokemon(swarm)
however, on the main RNG reporter window the shiny frame of the seeds found doesn't appear shiny and the natures are different too (encounter type is also set to wild pokemon(swarm), BW2? box checked, correct TID and SID)
i triple checked the setup, but is there anything i missed?

You know, I think I'm having the exact same problem.
So I hit my intended IV seed and PID frame, I know this because there are no other nearby frames with the same IV spread and nature/gender; however, the ability is not correct. Has anyone had experience with this/have any advice? I've been timer0 trolled for too many attempts to retry everything without knowing what caused this problem. Since the whole point of this is that is isn't random, I assume that if I were to try this same seed and PID frame again I would get the same results. Should I just try a different seed?
Can you post a pic? with a pic we can be more helpful. Also, in worst case scenario (when neither you or us have an idea of what is going on) you can try a new seed. From my experience there are frames that you cannot simple hit....
Everything in one pic. Hope it helps. Two things not in the picture: The resulting Haxorus (50/50 gender ratio) was female, and I was attempting PID frame 94.
1- On time finder: you have the encounter type set to Gift Pokemon
2- you haven't do Memory link? 'coz you have the box uncheked
3- Better go back and get an Adamant synchronizer from pokecheck, you will have a lot more frames to choose from.
This Haxorus gave me headbaches, literaly took me 15 days to get the desired one. I was aming to a high frame but then got pissed and tried a low one. With the Adamant synchronizer you can have a few more frames to try out. Come back at us if you still are having problems :)

I'll grab the adamant synch and try again. I had it set to gift pokemon because I was looking at a different thing and forgot to set it back before taking the screenshot, my bad. It was set to stationary. And nope, no memory link.
Edit: 6 attempts later and he's mine. Thanks for the help. :)

I have been trying to RNG a Bold Nature Cresselia in White 2. I am able to hit the IV seed and have a Bold Synchronize Abra, but I keep getting a Serious nature Cresselia. Am I just really unlucky with Synchronize?
Edit: Tried another seed and got it on my first try. I guess I was unlucky with the previous seed.

I'm in an odd predicament I can't figure out for the life of me. For starters, here's what I'm working with:
I'm trying to obtain a Timid shiny Riolu on frame 384. I can easily hit the seed, but I can't tell how far I have to advance. The area is Floccesy Ranch with WNCPs, and oddly enough I can hit a desired test frame every time with consistent results. What I can't do is figure out the starting frame... I have hit a Quiet Azurill without advancing the frame, a Gentle Pidove with 4 chatters and a female Impish Mareep with 5 chatters - all on the desired seed. This doesn't seem to match up with anything, so what am I missing?

All you need to do is hit your IV spread (which you go about like any wild Pokemon, just select roamer method), then catch it. Just keep repeating that until you get a nature you like.
Oh man that is so reassuring. Thanks!
It's been a few months, but I'm pretty sure that's what I did. Just make sure you're not using your ID/SID in the profile. It goes by the event's ID/SID. So, 07012/00000 if it's the one I'm looking at on project pokemon's event database.
