thank you, hozu
Your advancements are off. You're landing on Frame 300. Either do two less advancements or two more. For future reference, you don't have to enter your IVs or nature in the main window of RNG Reporter. If you clear them all and hit generate you'll be able to see all the frames and notice that you're getting the spread on Frame 300.Does anyone know what is going on with my seed? Soft-resetting for Uxie and I have now twice captured it with hitting my exact seed/date/time/second/delay and both of these times, it has given me the exact same spread that I am not shooting for.
The seed I am using is 8a0e027f. The first window shows the time that I am resetting for and the very back (large window) shows the frames that I am to choose from. Both times I went for the very first listing and went for frame 298. Since I have no roaming legends, I am advancing my frame by journal flipping 146 times and then advancing 128 steps with 5 pokemon in my party which is supposed to give me the desired IV spread I am shooting for. With my seed above, I am supposed to have an Impish nature with a spread of 31/30/31/x/31/31 but I have now twice received a Naughty nature with a spread of 31/20-21/30-31/4-5/6-7/14-15.
The second window in the pic below I pulled up because I wanted to verify that I indeed was hitting the seed I was shooting for (which the window confirms) so I am stumped as to why I can't get the spread I am shooting for.
Anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?
I confirmed it by calling Irwin. Nope and nope. Egg frame is 1. I have tried with 2 different seeds and got different natures (then what I wanted) both times. No I'm not. I am just going to see if 3rd times a charm with seed picking. If not then I will just use a different version.Might be a bug, try an older version if none of the following applies: what way did you confirm the delay? Is either parent holding an everstone? Is one international? Is the egg frame 1 or are you going for a higher frame? If so how are you advancing to said frame? Are you receiving any calls b4 depositing the parents?
More info is needed, but assuming none of those things are pertinent try an older version.
Are you doing anything that involves Chatot? And, was your correct ID/SID entered into the time finder when you searched for the egg PID seed?I confirmed it by calling Irwin. Nope and nope.

Oh wait my ID/SID account for the nature and ability in 4th Gen? Well I did not know that *facepalm* :P. I assumed it was like 5th Gen for whatever reason and just left it alone.Are you doing anything that involves Chatot? And, was your correct ID/SID entered into the time finder when you searched for the egg PID seed?
I mean, I doubt you're using Chatot but if you were using it to confirm your seed or something then it would advance the PID frame. I can't really think of anything else causing the problem :p
Oh it seemed like it I guess by the way I read it, sorry.I never said that lol.
Wait, you are breeding for shiny, right? If so, enter the correct ID/SID. If not, enter your ID but the wrong SID. Maybe your problem was that you left ID/SID blank, but Idk if that should matter or not. If it still doesn't work try an older version, but it should.
For future reference, there's another thread specifically for 5th gen questions.Can't seem to come close to hitting Egg Seed in BW. I'm breeding an international perfect ditto and a near perfect Feebas trying for a perfect shiny.
I found tons of seeds and am advancing my PID the same I did for Wondercard. My ID and SID are in the Reporter. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
Why are you sorry? I wasn't trying to come across as mean, so I'm sorry if I did :/Oh it seemed like it I guess by the way I read it, sorry.
But no I am just going for the right nature. Nothing more.
Well, first, please try posting in the right thread next time. This thread is for 4th and 3rd gen. RNG help. The one you're looking for is the 5th gen. RNG help thread ;)Can't seem to come close to hitting Egg Seed in BW. I'm breeding an international perfect ditto and a near perfect Feebas trying for a perfect shiny.

I am just one of those people that say sorry too much, you didn't seem that way though lol.Why are you sorry? I wasn't trying to come across as mean, so I'm sorry if I did :/
Anyways, try entering your ID but the wrong SID and see if you get a seed that works.
No, those things would not have effected your calibration. You calibrate to find out what delay range and second you hit most often - the frame will not change your delay / second because the delay is determined when you enter the Pokemon World. However, you honestly didn't need to calibrate. Eon Timer does it for you.Practical Questions:
1) Was the presence of legendaries/the use of sweet scent detrimental to my calibration?
2) I cannot find anything resembling a good seed at frame 5 (Cyndaquil) for my delay. I used eon timer for an hour and a half to try and hit a delay around 10,000, but it's not going too well. How can you hit non-calibrated delays?
3) Is there anyway to move cyndaquil, or any of the other starters to different starting frames to ease the RNG?
Theoretical Questions:
1) Are natures and IV's tied to a particular frame in 4th gen games?
2) Is walking to advance the frame much more practical in 4th gen? I never try and hit non-initial frames in 5th gen because walking affects PIDRNG so much.
Right, I understand that calibration isn't useful in cases where I'm trying to hit a high delay.What I see here is a timer issue. By using a timer you don't need to calibrate, you'll have a wider range of Delay meaning you'll probably find a seed on that frame.
Roamers do advance the frame by one but that's not necessary since calibration is outdated.
Awesome, that was really helpful.No, those things would not have effected your calibration. You calibrate to find out what delay range and second you hit most often - the frame will not change your delay / second because the delay is determined when you enter the Pokemon World. However, you honestly didn't need to calibrate. Eon Timer does it for you.
Do you know how to use eon timer correctly? Sync your timer and DS clock. When the first timer reaches 0, press A on the DS menu to enter the game. Then wait on the Pokemon Game menu until the second timer does. Once it does press A. If you've been doing that but no luck, you'll need to update your Eon Timer. To update it, just enter the delay you're hitting in the correct place and click update. However, since you're trying to RNG a starter, you can only confirm your delay by checking the IVs of Cyndaquil. I strongly suggest you try some other type of RNG manipulation before you attempt a starter.
No there isn't. Cyndaquil will always be on frame 5.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Natures and PIDs are tied in 4th gen, so not every nature + IV combo is possible like in 5th gen.
No, walking is probably almost never used to advance the frame in 4th gen. Most people use Chatot (which has been recently proven to work in 4th gen.), or the Elm/Irwin/Joey calls to advance the frame. In DPPt the journal is used to advance the frame, and also Chatot works here as well.
4th gen is actually a lot easier when you get the hang of it. Like PoJ said you should start with another kind of abuse. Calibration was only used because Pikatimer and Eontimer did not exist back then, other than that..no you don't have to. I timer have the default settings which are a beep for the last 6 seconds, after a while you get use to just do by ear but when I first started looking at it while hearing did wonders. Just hit A when you think the last beep will sound at least that's how I do it.Right, I understand that calibration isn't useful in cases where I'm trying to hit a high delay.
However, isn't calibration useful for the fact that it gives you a relatively consistent delay? If you can get a decent frame off of a calibrated delay, wouldn't it make it faster to RNG the pokemon you wanted?
Of course, that's neither here nor there for pokemon I'm trying to RNG right now. Do you have any suggestions on how to hit those sorts of high delays? For example, I currently have it set so that it beeps once a second for the last ten seconds. Should I be hitting A when I hear the beep, or when I anticipate the beep to occur? Or, should I be looking at the numbers as they go down instead? If I'm trying to do it visually, should I aim to press A when there are perhaps 10-15 milliseconds left, or should I hit A as it goes to 0?
Also, is it me, or is RNG is 4th gen much harder than 5th gen? Can you hit high delays consistently?
Chatots will always advance the frame by one just like they do in gen 5. About using Eontimer, press A to Select/SR the game when the first timer hits 0 and then again to enter the Pokemon world when the second timer hits 0.Awesome, that was really helpful.
I think I know how to use EonTimer, but perhaps I'm wrong. If I'm not mistaken, don't I soft reset at the first 0, and then hit A to enter the game at the second? I was calibrating eontimer with my DS clock as you suggested (setting the DS time to the appropriate minute and pressing A on the DS/start on the timer simultaneously). I got the cyndaquil to come out modest a few times, but I could tell it didn't have the appropriate IVs because it's HP was 19, when it should have been 21 if I hit the right frame.
Indeed, I'm kind of in a pickle with cyndaquil cause it's tough to figure out IVs, but I feel like I understand everything in theory. I think I'm just having a tough time hitting the precise delay.

Btw, do Chatot calls have a relatively consistent frame advancement of 1 as they do in BW?
