For fighting Palkia on Pearl, do the automatic 7 (iirc) steps you take towards it count for advancing the frame?
No, the starting frames in the OP are there for a reason.

We aren't 100% certain on the Platinum encounter tables quite yet, but we know that the most recent addition to the Trophy Garden will occupy slot 6 (80 < value < 85). The second most recent addition to the Trophy Garden will occupy slot 7 (85 < value < 90). So as long as you manipulate the Trophy Garden to your advantage, you will be able to find a Ditto in 10% of all frames.
Lightning: Could you help me and NSP King with our question. Since you've already done your Ditto, maybe you could help us with our wilds?
Wow, I've never thought of that. Would this be useful during the calibration stages?2)You want to keep a consistent speed so that it's easier next time you go for another abuse. I usually just use the beat of a song and keep up with that.
1)Yes, every reset you have to put the time back.

3)Yes, the time on your DS is what you put into the seed finder.
when frame calibrating
can i hatch the egg (fast hatch code) before i go catch the wild pokemon?
I think LF mentioned this somewhere around page 60, standing on the left side of the Day-Care man (North in the DS point of view) usually gets you a certain frame more consistently and thus will save time and effort. Standing right in front of the Day-Care man makes the frame fluctuate occasionally, so maybe it should be noted in the OP?
Okay, I just checked the spreads and one of them is 87, so that means it's in slot 7. I'll try it later. But quick thing, which of you two are right? LF is saying that it will be in the older slot, while Mingot is saying it'll be in the newer. I guess I can try both (starting with new), since I haven't done a daily pokemon yet in my platinum game. I'll let you guys know what I find. Also, can I just change the date on the DS for the daily pokemon? Or will I have to let it go over itself?
Just wondering:
Is D/P/Pt legend abuse really supposed to be so hard? It feels like both Emerald legend abuse and D/P/Pt egg abuse rolled into one. I haven't managed to hit my target seed once, and having Emerald RNGed 6 shiny legends (well, 5 but I had to do Regice twice because the first one committed suicide) and countless shiny eggs on D/P/Pt, this feels unnaturally difficult.
So is it supposed to be this hard, or do I just suck at at?
second question
if the when the journal comes up there is a caught pokemon on it, does it advancce the frame by two?
Alright, so I have this good spread and I want to catch a Pokemon in the wild with it. But the Pokemon I want to catch is a Shuckle- the chance isn't listed in the chart?
I believe Shuckle is a Game-Insert Pokemon.The chart isn't going to show all the swarm pokes possible I believe. Just find another swarm pokemon and see where it fits in the chart. If you tell me where you are doing it I can try to help find which slot.
I believe Shuckle is a Game-Insert Pokemon.
Anyways, I did the math and I got Slot 0.
