If you did hit your seed, check what frame your Darkrai was on. Do you maybe have a syncher listed but not using a syncher, or vice versa?
Okay this didn't work.. I did all that then I used sweet scent and got an Adamant Illumise 15/2/24/4/14/20. What do I do now?
EDIT, I tried using the Illumise to get my initial seed and it said to check the date and time. They have to be correct since I had to SR at a certain time...
all4game - If you are going for scyther, it is probably a NPC moving. Instead of saying I got this, check what frame it is and see how many you were off.
volch - Same thing, check the frame you got darkrai on. That will show you what went wrong in trying to get Darkrai. Maybe you caught or have more than 1 roamer.
Volch, in one post it says you hit the right frame. If it had the wrong IVs and nature, then you hit the wrong seed, if you hit the frame with the right seed and it had the right nature and IVs, you have the wronf ID/SID entered in somewhere.
Instead of just posting it didnt work find out what went wrong.

Okay I just found it, I was wayyy off, I hit 1628.
So how do I fix it next time?
volch - use the Darkrai and get the initial seed. Then click generate with the seed from darkrai and look at the list at the bottom. Find out which one the Darkrai is on. Make sure you have method J and the syncher still.
all4game - Find the NPCs on the route that move that are relatively close and stop them moving. If you are on diamond, you have to battle the guy who keeps turning south of the patch, and you should be fine.

Alright, this is something I had never known about: the Pre/Post E4 Legendary Birds note on the first page.
If I'm understanding this correctly does this mean I could use rng to get a good Zapdos before beating the E4, then after beating it, go back and reset the stats of Articuno and Moltres in order to get a second shot at a shiny/flawless/whatever bird?
Also, activating them the first time requires only the National Dex, right?

Okay I did that and tried again and got bold ariados, frame 1137. Although I'm pretty sure I counted wrong, I doubt I was THAT far off.
If I'm in an area with no grass, is a turn + step considered a "double step" like it would be in a grassy area? In other words, does it contribute 2 towards the 128 I need to advance the RNG?

You're on Rt.229 aren't you? That's the place I first tried to catch an RNG abused Gyarados. Doesn't work, that idiot under the patch keeps turning even after you battle him. I'd consider RNG breeding if you want a nice Scizor.
If you're in an area with no grass, then every 128 steps you take advances your RNG by the number of pokemon in your party. Turns do not count if you're not in grass.
Okay, I've done this, and it is either on frame 12 or 14. But even that would not explain how I went up oddly. I'm completely lost as to what I am doing incorrectly.
He's the one across from that female trainer. You're doing everything else right, so if you manage to get the Scyther you want, let me know, I need a nice Scizor too.
Not sure, but even if I did, no one knows how to predict NPC movement yet. I'd give up after another try. Maybe you can try to get the perfect Scizor at Giveaways.
Darn. And moving to the opposite side of the route doesn't help?
Also I just realized that theres no encounter slots for Scizor at 684 or others, the best option is the 800 one i was doing earlier.
But I guess I'll try something else now.
I have breeding for IVs down, I just wanted to catch something.
Now I have to pick a new pokemon. XD

You hit your seed but did you hit your frame as well?
Well you should just catch a scyther and RNG breed it. If you have breeding for IVs down, I might start learning how to do that soon, may I ask you for help?
