Its how the pokemon are created for wild and most of the legendaries.
Yea, im pretty sure you messed up somewhere. When I SR, it is always under 10.
Yes you are correct.
Here is the procedure that I use.. please do me a favor and correct me if I am wrong..
1. I SR'ed (not when I pressed the SR buttons, when my game started), exactly when the seconds hit HH:MM:00. Then I put the time/date into the RNG Reporter.
2. I mash my A button repeatedly until I continue on my saved game, then until I get my egg from the old man.
3. As soon as I get the egg, I rush up to Route 210 (the area with tall grasses), and catch a wild pokemon in one shot using Repeat/Quick Balls.
4. I then check it's nature/IV, and insert them into the RNG Reporter. Then I press Find
Now the Reporter looks something like this :
Type Seed Offset Seconds Delay
Initial 9316025B 37 10 594
Now here comes the question, do I use the offset that's listed there? 37??
Or proceed? Assuming yes, I switch to Method Breeding (DPPt), then press generate. Now using those little application next to the Seed Finder/Time Finder, I try to match my baby's IV's and try to check if there is any spread that matches my baby's. Do I use the Frame that's listed there? This time around, I got 5. Is this the correct way?

Yes, you the frame listed after you find it with generated. The last post you quoted had your answer in it:
- Offset of the bred Pokemon (NOT of the wild Pokemon)
Yes that sounds exactly right. The only way you could be getting too much higher offset than 5 is if you wait before you take the egg.
Hey :'D
Is there any way to better control the RNG for SRing legends such as Shaymin or Darkrai received from TRU events, or do I just have to keep turning the game on and off and hope? I noticed that they weren't listed under the candidates for Method J. ;x

I'm guessing the reason they are not listed is because they are unknown if they are under method J. If you can do a test to see if they are, that would help. If they are not, all you can do is SR.
Those are the specific IVs inherited from your parent pokemon. A and B would be the first and second pokemon you placed into the daycare, respectively, I think.
How should I go about the testing? I still haven't gotten the hang of calibrating for my offset, and i've never tried Method J yet.
Would I find a spread, then receive Darkrai and check its IVs to see if they match? D:
To do a quick test, just SR or hard reset in front of Darkrai, catch, then go catch a wild pokemon. Get the initial seed with the wild pokemon and click generate with method J and see if Darkrai is 1st. If not, switch to method 1 and see if Darkrai shows up there somewhere.
Mmm, does it make a difference if I'm not actually catching it? I still haven't received my Darkrai and Shaymin from the man in the pokemart after getting the wondercard from Toys R Us, so I'd just be grabbing it from him.
That's what I mean, so save before him and check.
that would be interesting to help with, i wish i hadn't picked up all of my shaymin already or i would try that out. maybe for the next event here whenever that may be.
E for Even, O for Odd, and the others are for HP numbers.
I'm frustratingly close to my target spread. I can't quite seems to stablize my offset, but don't want to save because this might change it alltogether and mean my delay goes odd->even. I'm getting close each time and when I did hit my delay the offset was off.
I'm fairly sure that delay change between odd and even after saving.
I'm fairly sure that delay change between odd and even after saving.
i've had the same thing happen, but with me it is that i can't get the offset i want in spite of the fact that i change the save over and over. i've hit the offset 1 away from my spread 5 times now. offset 6 never comes up for me for some reason.
Edit for proving myself wrong. Apparently I just suck at this.
I believe the Mystery Gift algorithm is neither Methods 1, 2, 3, nor J, but a separate algorithm that ensures that Mystery Gift Pokemon are never shiny unless set otherwise. Or it may be one of those methods but with some modifications to remove shiny results. I'll have to look around the internet some more.
EDIT: Looking through here I see a mention that Mystery Gift PID and IVs are generated by two different PRNGs... perhaps the MG PID is generated by the same PRNG as egg PIDs? That would make hatching shiny Manaphy eggs a cinch.
EDIT #2: Never mind about the Mystery Gift PID PRNG, I guess.
