ok, if it doesnt work this time i will try that mingot, and no, my ditto isn't holding an everstone atm. thanks
EDIT: So i just hatched an Impish Eevee, which is the nature I wanted, but it wasn't shiny again, so if I get the next few eggs and they all have an Impish nature, then I have the wrong Secret ID, correct?
Double Edit: One thing i think might be making it go wrong, i am hard resetting instead of soft resetting so i can get the check IV and quick hatch codes, since they go away after a soft reset, does this affect my outcome in any way?

Link in sig.
No. Uncheck shiny only. Find your spread that you wanted to hit. Look at the next spreads. Subsequently hatched eggs should have those natures, genders, etc.
EDIT: Hard resetting is fine.
ok i figured it out, long story short, I'm an idiot and got two numbers in my Secret ID mixed up, I'm sorry for asking so many questions
No, the birds' IVs are generated when you talk with Oak in its house, and there's only him there. But I discovered what was the problem, it's that I had the Map app open. I changed back to the digital clock, saved, and resetted. Then, Moltres was back to frame 1.
Now I'm checking if it only happens with the birds or with Method J legendaries (like Palkia) also.
Shiny Rotom IS possible using the RNG I just hatched one yesterday that had the correct nature.
Hmm. I'm getting frame 1 with Palkia even with the map App open. Guess it's only with Method 1 pokémon? I can't test Cresselia because I, huh, killed her way before I started these shiny abuses. I could swear defeated pokémon returned to their homeplaces to be fought again :/
It's only Giratina that does that :(
We can do it for legendaries now also, it is just we are not sure exactly how to yet besides SRing in front of them.
Shit. So Serebii told me wrong, he said on their forums that he had killed one of the pixies but it returned to its lake.
So here I am now, looking for rebattle codes... I wonder why Pokésav doesn't let you mess with the event flags still.
Abusing the RNG J method for Azelf. You have to manually find spreads, so it's not as easy. Found this and got it, just for fun.

So how did you do this exactly?
I finally got around to trying it with my calculated SID, and I did everything on the tutorial and followed the video.
I ended up with a Feebas with the correct predicted Nature and Gender, but not shiny. (I did click the Shiny box after testing for the initial seed~)
Does this mean the SID I inputted was incorrect, or something else? I'm thinking I must have accidentally tapped the Friendship checker an extra time (97 taps, 10 coin flips) or something, and that would have messed up the RNG. D: I can't be sure though. Maybe I should recalculate my shiny starly's PID. My Trainer ID was 02994 and my Starly's PID was CDADF371.

So you can only get the high level Resort Magikarp on Platinum... Well that's unfortunate as I don't have it yet. Well I wasted a good half hour looking for them on my Pearl... Anyway, from what I read on other pages (was rifling through old and new posts when I found this one answering a previous question), it's okay to not have exact IVs when you input them? Example; my just caught Raticate had IVs of 4/18-19/6/0-1/31/11. It's okay to put the 18 and the 0 in RNG and loook for spreads, then the 19 and 1 if I don't like any of those prior?
*Edit* Are reasonable numbers of Happiness Taps and Coin Flips found easily? I kept getting numbers for Happiness Checker taps above 1000.
it's more of try 18 and 0, see if there are possible spreads, check 19 and 0 for possible spreads, try 18 and 1 check for possible spreads and 19 and 1 for possible spreads, and pick the one most likely.
It's possible to get really low numbers, you just keep resetting if you don't like the number of taps, I generally aim for spreads that require like less than 500 taps.
Resetting completely, right? Getting catching new Pokemon and going through all of it again, not just re-entering the values, etc? Just making sure.
If you are getting an egg at frame 203 you are doing something horribly wrong.
13678?
Also, get the next 4 eggs, see if they are the correct nature to follow the one that should have been shiny. If thats the case your SID is definately wrong.
Hrm, sometimes it only wants to give you odd numbers. Or even. Hard reset a few times and try taking a slot 1 cartridge in or out. Basically play with it. Or change your year +1 and aim for 627.
You're lucky to be getting the same delay. The solution to your problem is simple. Only look for spreads with a 627 delay.
Your game seems to produce odd delays so go with those and ignore spreads with even delays(eg 628), Look for 627 mostly and also close ones, 625, 629, you get the idea
Damn lol.
1)I use Vile's clock and synch my DS with that.
2)At H:M:00, I turn the game off.
3)I put my AR in and turn the fast egg ghatch and iv check code on.
4)I start the game while pressing A as fast as possible.
5)I get the egg and hatch it due to the code.
6)I catch the wild pokemon and input it IVs, nature and yada yada into the seed finder.
7)I take note of that pokemon's seconds and delay.
8)I follow the steps after that, but when I find my egg's frame, I get numbers in the 200's plus. Once I even got 8444... :(

13678? Is that what my SID should look like? >_> Don't know how I went so far off from that.
Yeah, I just followed all the directions again, and the prediction said my egg should be female and timid. I just hatched it. Voila! Female and timid. Doesn't look like coincidence anymore. I'm going to change this SID and see what pops up afterwards. :0
Thanks a bunch again!
So let me get this right. You are hatching the egg. Checking the IVs (or just using a code, don't care) and then selecting the Breeding (DPPt) method and finding your eggs offset (and this is from the instructions....) at 200+ and up to 8000?
Read the OP please.
But really there is nothing to figure out. If you usually get 618 then search for a spread with 618.
Show me your three binary numbers.
I came up with:
1100110110101101
1111001101110001
0000101110110010
