It's probably your Timer0. What spread are you using, along with the keypresses?
I'd recommend doing two calibrations for parameters, one for no keypresses, and one for three keypresses.
Okay that's my thought too ... So after I calibrate it with 3 keypresses, I should use the settings I get from that for when I try to get seeds with keypresses?
What do you want me to list for the spread I'm using? Just the IVs?
So far I've tried many different spreads, some even with no keypresses (oddly), but right now I'm using one that requires down-left.
I have also taken out one of the parents from the daycare so the man doesn't bother me.
Also I just found a matching PID frame (nature/gender/characteristic) on frame 167 (after 5 chatot advances) so I'm going to level it up to see if the IVs correspond.
EDIT: nvm the frame I found had different IVs ... back to the drawing board
EDIT (2): I did a parameter check for both no presses and three (i used another ds, but i don't think that's important), and they both yielded the same result - different to the one I had in my configuration. i guess it somehow changed altogether. i'll update if i can hit my seed using the new timer0.
EDIT (3): the egg i just hatched corresponded to my old timer0. i hate rng :@
