My best shiny spread that I can do is one hour and 20 minutes and if your looking for a decent spread your going to have to wait a lot of minutes. 2 minutes isn't that long of a wait

Is there any way to lower the Happiness counter clicks on the RNG reporter or any way to tell how many clicks you've made? Some of mine are in the thousands and... D:
Get a foreign ditto. International Breeding sometimes is as low as 15 clicks and 4 flips.
Easiest way to obtain one (i got mine on accident) is to go into a trade thread where people are making pokesav pokemon and have them flag you foreign ditto.
Natures don't mean a thing because your taps/flips will have the actual nature of the shiny.
Okay I'll just ask Simple Questions. Thanks so much!~ ^_^
Nexus, this way isn't working out either.
My target frame is 129, the actual frame is still 105.
129-105 = 24
Then it's 6 advancements to the next piece of grass.
24-6 = 18
then 4 pieces of grass shake, plus the extra -6
18-10-2 = 2
So I just open up my journal, close it, then walk there, and the smeargle I get is on frame 131, only 2 over.
Then I tried it again, without that journal flip (to go two frames under what I did the last time) and got either frame 110 or 130 (they have the same spread)
Since when did one journal flip only advance the RNG by 1 and how can I fix this?
As a side note, there is the spread I am aiming for on a higher frame, should I try for that?
EDIT: I just did the same thing, except I took a more direct route to the patch (5 advancements instead of 6) and I got frame 128....
Is it me or is 129 just an impossible frame to hit?

I'm RNGing for a fully flawless egg, and the only spread I want is on an odd-numbered frame. When calibrating my frame, I've gotten 5, 4, 4, and 5. Can I go ahead and start RNGing with 5 as my starting frame, do I need to calibrate a bit more, or is it too inconsistent and I need to get a different save?
Supe
would you suck the poison out
The same thing happened to me. Here's my example of this phenomenon:
http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2483856&postcount=1607
This just happens sometimes without any real explanation. If your spread is available on a higher frame, then try and go for that. It worked for me once I tried a different frame.
You should calibrate more. 4 times is not a big enough sample size in my opinion.
Hmm, okay... the Smogon RNG guide suggests 5 or 6 times... do you usually find 6 to be sufficient?
Heh, well, it appears the frame DOES advance randomly
I went for my higher one (137) and the flips I was supposed to do was 5, but when I did that I got frame 140, so rather than take the direct route and do one less flip, I took the same route with 1 less flip which should have given me 135, but going off the 140 it should've given me 138, but instead I hit my target 137!

Aside from getting a foreign ditto, if you understand the basics of RNG abuse, you could try the Shiny Finder Application found in this post.
I find it easier to just hit my target delay and flip/tap a lot less. Do note though that this does not work with international breeding.
Edit: Sorry Nexus, should have been a little more clear :P It doesn't work for two parents with different nationalities.
actually it does I have bred two international parents with this method worked for me
Oh, but it won't show you all the available shiny eggs, it'll just show you the shiny eggs you would already get with non-international parents.
I have a modified version of RNG Reporter that handles international breeding pairs, if someone will give me some webspace to post it on. (It also does low egg frames for HGSS, like Viletung's mod above, and lists natures\IVs for chained Pokemon if you want to find out if you can chain a perfectly flawless Hasty Salamence or whatever.)
true I was just saying you can breed with them with this method just not get all the frames until now with your modifications
well I answered in my PM that you can use this method to breed with two parents of different nationalities

so it's actual frame minus the frame correct? if so what do i do if my actual frame is higher than my frame
reset and try again because you can't decrease the frames

ok I'm using method J and let's say when i come in i sweet scent for the poke i want does that mean my formula should look like this 234 (frame)-2(monster frame)-5(wandering npcs)=227rng advances ?
Okay, I'm having some trouble here. Two of my most common delays via button mashing with a GBA game inserted are 595 and 597, and my seconds is 15. The delay I'm after is 596, and the time I'm after is 14:01:15 on 2/1/2010. I remove the GBA game, power on my DS, set the date to 2/1/2010, set the time to 14:00, power off/on, and load the game. The instant I see my Pokétch Digital Watch app roll over to 14:01, I SR, button mash, and go to the Coin Flip app. The flips I'm getting are not anywhere in the adjacent spreads list, so I go to catch a level 50+ Magikarp at the Resort Area. I input its stats and capture info into RNG Reporter, which tells me that no reasonable initial seed was found. I use Rare Candies to check the exact IVs, put them into RNG Reporter, and get the same error message. The date I put into RNG Reporter matches the date on Magikarp's catch data, and I'm positive that I have the correct time (14:01) since I watched the DS roll over to that minute and then immediately SR'd and proceeded through the menus as quickly as I could. I'm also positive that I'm entering the proper IVs/stats.
Anyone have any idea what could be going on for me? I've been RNGing successfully ever since the D/P/Pt RNG was cracked and have never had this trouble. Thanks!

You might be hitting split frames or be in alternate mode. It seems like you're using an actual cartridge, so I suggest you do the following:
- Use rare candies to determine the exact IVs of 31 / 20 - 24 / 30 - 31 / 30 - 31 / 25 - 29 / 20 - 24.
- Search for these exact IVs in both Emerald split frames and alternate mode frames, in RNG Reporter.
If you find the frame is in split or alternate mode:
- Based on my experience, there is no specific way of getting out of these modes. On a cartridge, I found that after switching the GBA on and off multiple times, hatching a few eggs, entering a few wild battles, and taking the parents in/out of the daycare centre, eventually I got out of alternate/split mode and entered 'regular' mode again.
- Or, you can search for an HP Ice 70 spread in alternate/split mode (whichever you're in) and try to aim for it.
Believe me, it helped a lot. I did one search, and got LOTS of results, since I was searching in a very wide delay interval (I enabled RNG reporter to search in higher delays, above 999). So, it took me quite some time to find the seed with the lower frame.
I even started modifying the code for the IV Search functions in DPPt Egg IVs tab, but since mingot asked me to wait, my code is waiting right now.
There aren't any (31/31/31/31/31/31) spreads in the wild for Jolly or Naive, but there are some that are very close. They might have one or two of the 31s as 30, but that's not a problem. And with the PikaTimer or Emloop (see first page), it's pretty easy to get a flawless wild with a regular date. Also, it helps to use Wichu's finder, it works alot faster than the RNG Reporter and searches higher delays too.
