I am trying IV abuse on an egg that I have with the Daycare man. It is an adamant Riolu with Inner Focus. I have two questions:
I was trying to hit an odd delay, and I couldn't seem to hit any odd delays at all. Every time I tried I could only hit evens. So, I put Sapphire version into the GBA slot, but I have still been getting exclusively even delays. What gives?
Well, I've never confirmed this with anyone, but this seems to happen when you don't have Pal Park enabled. Check that first. I've also had this issue on flash carts.
Also, the more important question... I am trying to redo the frame calibration part because I am unsure of what frame I am on. But this takes forever, since I have to level Riolu up to 50 and that takes forever! I can't battle other pokes because I don't want to keep track of EVs, and I only have 8 rare candies. I want to go to the battle tower to win more, which means I will have to save. If I save there, will I mess up the nature and ability of my egg?
It's generally advised that you have a non-wifi way of checking IV's before embarking on the RNG quest. You should leave the egg in possession of the day care man, go to the BT, then win some rare candies, then resume what you are doing. Do not save after you get the egg
