Well, I left the world because I wanted to try out the RNG. But if someone could possibly help me get a really good one (I'm looking at your Pokerealm). That'd be great.

This reminds me, I got once a Giratina at a frame higher than 15, which was the one I was expecting as I had three pokémon with me and walked 128 steps, but I left the floating steps to have more room to run. Maybe the map "change" that occurs make RNG calls too...?
EDIT: Tried again, now it was either 10 or 36.
EDIT2: There, did it again. Firstly, I only left the floating steps so they would disappear, and came back again. Got frame 12. I tried again, this time leaving the "inner map" and coming back. I got two possible frames, 34 and... 36.
EDIT3: Saved the game before the inner map, resetted, walked in, caught Giratina-O. Frame was... 25. What the hell, it should be 24 :/
EDIT4: Frame 25 again... Hmm, could it be that walking in the tile that changes the map counts as 1 frame also, so to advance by 12 instead of 13, you must already start the game on the tile, but facing south...
EDIT5: Walked in (which means I made one step, so it must have advanced by 13). Faced south, and north, and south, and north again (which made the map changed every time. Yes, the same tile is shared by the two maps). Went to Giratina-O, caught it. Frame is... 69 or 73.
12 (inicial offset) + 13 (walking in, changing the map) = 25;
12 x 4 (facing north and south two times each, so the map would change with no steps) = 48;
25 + 48 = 73.
Heh. Seems catching my shiny Giratina-O will be much easier than I could even imagine.
Hey, maybe this also works for the other legends?
Nice info, but have you found anything about getting really good IV's?
What do you mean? You could just use the Time Finder to search for any (existing) spread you want.
And hey, now that you mentioned it, I think I can go for really high offsets with Giratina... Like 5000, 10000. Good catch.
EDIT: Now I got 252 when I went for 241. Great, seems I have more shit to look into.
EDIT2: Got 241 this time. Guess that switching to the coin flip on the last try did something.
Does the number of pokemon in your party make any difference in these steps?
Huh. Don't know why I put in that part about the 128 steps, but it shouldn't be there. To advance the RNG by 1, just change direction to the left or right once before moving onto shore.
Yesterday my offset for Heatran was two, today it became 1 a lot of times. What the hell is causing this O_O"
Note: Delays aren't the same all the time, but still.

You shouldn't even have anybody in the DC. Otherwise, what's the point? You need to have the parents either with you or in the PC ready to go into the DC.
kk just making sure.
When I walked out his "door" and turned around, it became 2. That's normal right?
I had something similar happen to me at azelf. I would leave and enter the cave thing, and it would advance to 4. But then I went in and out twice and only 4 still.
So this is method j? In method J do you have to scent a pokemon at all?
If not, can someone point me to the right directions. Thanks.
Also, has anyone with an AR had success w/ resetting IVs?
You can have parents in as long as an egg is not produced before you finish the process. This may put you one frame past your goal.
Ok, here's what I have about Distortion's Giratina:
When you are to face Giratina-O, there are two maps: The "normal map" where the background "flows" slowly, and an "inner map", where the background is darker and faster. There is a single tile that unites both maps. When you are on the normal map, facing north when you're on this tile transfers you to the inner map, where facing south when in the same tile makes you return to the normal map.
Each time you face to change the map (that is, north when in normal, south when in inner), the RNG advances by 12. However, curiously enough, when you start the game on the normal map, one step away from the damned tile OR already on the tile but facing south (the only possible way to do this is getting into the inner map and then leaving it), and then walks in the inner map (that is, you're one step away of it, walk north and than the map changes), it advances by 13 instead.
It ONLY advances by 13 in these situations. If you're facing south when the game starts, or if you try to do so from the inner map (that is, one step away, facing wherever you want), or if you come from the inner map, walks one step south and then one step north (trying to repeat the "13 movement"), it won't work and will advance by 12 only.
I'm sure there are a lot of grammar errors there (damn you prepositions), but I've made my point across.

It's probably easier to just kill it the first time around and then catch it in Turnback Cave.
Also, what's the trick for hunting down and catching Cresselia? I seem to have forgotten how to do it.
Additionally, can Zapdos appear anywhere there's tall grass, or only on numbered routes? Because Valley Windworks Zapdos would be oh so cool.
Are you sure about that?
Ok...but it just feels weird having to kill the poor guy. Or run even.
So you think it's easier to just sit in front of him and do the RNG that way?
So I'm looking at the Calibration phase in the OP and it doesn't say how to determine your offset? I'm trying to catch Azelf, so should I just input 1?
Yes, the default for most legends is 1. You can also advance this several way which are in the OP.
Well, to be honest, I did it that way so I could play through the rest of the game in the meantime. This was way before the RNG was figured out. However, an offset of 12 could shave a few journal taps off your wait, so if you're in Torn World right now, save in front of him and give it a shot, I suppose.
