NVRM finally figured it out! Thanks so much for making this! I finally have a shiny axew!
Hey chiizu, I've been having some major issues RNGing with PPRNG, perhaps you could help me figure out what's going on?
First of all, thank you very much for posting detailed information. It's extremely helpful when trying to diagnose problems, and I wish everyone would follow your example.
As to your actual issue, I'm sorry to say that you are just having very bad luck with your Timer0. It's a hardware value and we have no proven way to control it. It seems that for some people, they hit one value more often than the other no matter the seed, while other people hit each value about 50% of the time on every seed, while still other people seem to get different values depending on which buttons are held on given seed. It can be quite frustrating, but there's not much an RNG program can do about it at this time. RNG Reporter will find the same seeds with the same Timer0 values that PPRNG found.
Is there a way to tell what Ability is 1 and 0?
Also, new question:
I'm trying to find a shiny, quiet seed for a Solosis. I got one but when I check the egg PID it doesn't show up...
Any ideas?
Hmm, just thought I'd drop by and say that this is an excellent program. It's nice to have something for Mac that's quick and reliable.
And main reason for posting, for some reason, every now and then I believe the Sync box is incorrect.
Seed: 2DD7961065293948
IV Frame: 11
I was trying to get a Leavanny in Lostlorn Forest through Shaking Grass. My Starting PID is 628, definitely as I've used it to grab the monkey trio from there. According to the Seed Inspector, a Leavanny (ESV 8) was available on PID 634, with Sync checked off. I advanced my Frames, sure enough found a Leavanny, but the Jolly Sync's nature wasn't passed on, even though the box said it'd pass.
The Emolga on my Starting PID 628 is supposedly Sync-able as well, it's actually not. I've also had this problem on a Panpour, can't quite remember what frame, though.
Just to be sure, you are using the Shaking Grass Encounter type for the PID frames?
I find that PID 628 (which, by the way, is an extremely high starting PID frame, although I've been told that weird things go on in Lostlorn) matches what you're saying about the Emolga, but frame 634 does not. Are you talking about frame 635?
Would you be able to post a screen shot? Would you be able to post more info about what you got on those frames, such as gender and ability? (Also, are you using the latest version?)
Anyway, there is still some uncertainty as to shaking grass frames. I've implemented what was described in the RNG research thread, but that doesn't mean that it's correct, so any extra info is helpful.
Ah, of course.I believe the reason my Starting PID is so high is because I have to take a good 256 steps to hit my IV Frame
This is great, thanks. I'll investigate more when I get home tonight.Here's some of the results of frames that have the Sync checked off.
628: Emolga / Quirky / Female / Static. Had Jolly Espeon w/ Synchronize in front.
(I considered that I may have hit 627, but if I'm correct Emolga appears on ESV 2.)
637: Audino / Quirky / Male / Regenerator. Had Jolly Espeon w/ Synchronize in front.
761: Panpour / Bold / Female / Torrent. Had Jolly Espeon w/ Synchronize in front.
Oh, and a case of something being Sync-able when it says it shouldn't be:
850: Panpour / Jolly / Female / Torrent. Was listed as not being able to sync with Adamant, but my Espeon passed on the Jolly nature.
What would you like a screen shot of?
Do you know if Shaking Grass advances the PID at all, by the way? I've started to get inconsistent results despite moving the exact same way each time, and I'm pretty much baffled at why I'm suddenly off by 5+ frames when I was easily able to hit certain PIDs repeatedly before... (Bumping into a wall doesn't advance, right?)
Also, random question:
What is the gender order? Don't quite understand how to read those...
I would not rule out the possibility of the Synch being generate from a different RNG call. We recently discovered that Everstone activated on a different RNG call. Previous research showed it came from the second RNG call, but it turns out it comes from the fourth. That's the same call we previously thought was the Dream World ability call, but turns out that's not true either.
How do you get the egg part to work exactly?
Great program, thanks-a-million for it, but I'm having a slight problem. When i search for results, it tells me it expects over 10,000 results. I made it a hex flawless within a one day span with no buttons pressed, and the error message continues. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong! Thanks!

Have you checked that your DS parameters are entered correctly? If you have a range of values beyond the difference of 1 for Timer0, it will exponentially increase results. I was getting that error before, and that was the issue.
I did it once, knowing I probably should do it more, but not wanting to. I guess it's time to redo :/
Sorry if this has already been answered, but I don't remember seeing it.
Once I've got my DS parameters set, are they going to be correct permanently? I was able to successfully snag a Perfect Attacker Virizion last night, so I know I have got the hang of things. Can I now go on a RNG tear, or do I have to find those parameters again? I wouldn't think so, but you never know...
Not really sure how to word this in a simple question, so I'll just explain my problem.
I'm trying to receive a shiny Archen with a Plume Fossil in Nacrene.
Generated a Shiny, Frame 1 spread with the IVs I wanted: Seed DD63B86CAAA149B1. My Nearest Shiny Frame was on 75, a pretty nice, close one actually.
To calibrate my Starting PID, I loaded up the Seed Inspector, entered my Seed in, set it to 'Starter / Fossil / Gift' and hit generate. Apparently 75 isn't a shiny frame, nor is anything in the 40-500 range... Glad I didn't try to go after it yet.
When I change the setting to 'Grass / Cave Encounter', 75 is indeed a shiny frame.
Is this supposed to be like this? Is there a way to generate a shiny spread for Gift Pokemon with PPRNG?
