in that case.... its EXTREELY hard and time consuming.... lvl up with battles and track the EVs....
You do need to know your frame, and yes it's very slow without AR/Candy. I can give you a bunch of candy if you want. The IV calc on Metalkid shouldn't need too many to get a definitive result for your frame.
YAY! They just re-released the pokewalker download "Yellow Forest" again, so I can try for a good, Timid, Surfing Pikachu (FIIIIIIINALLY).
OmegaDonut mentioned before that if you get your ID/SID to be "something" you would have an incredibly increased chance of getting shiny pokes from the pokewalker. IS THERE AN ID/SID COMBO THAT WOULD GIVE YOU AN INCREDIBLY INCREASED CHANCE OF GETTING TIMID POKEMON?! If so I'd really like to pandora my HG just for this! Unfortunately, we don't know how to RNG these pokes (yet), BUT if I could raise the likelyhood of them coming out Timid, I could just SR the old fashioned way (or in this case catch a ton of them and hope for the best).

I've also heard this is true, all pokewalker pokemon start with the same 4 hexadecimal numbers, I'd have to check my 100 pikas to find out what they were lol so with the correct ID/SID I believe you have a 1/64 chance of catching it shiny
EDIT: And thanks for your post regarding HG IV frames, I finally managed to get mine today =D but I had the same problem, F6 then F8, I watched my lead pokes steps and counted them as a timer for when to accept the egg
it's not impossible, just a pain in the ass. i'm doing it currently XD
anyway, if i got the following for my frame results 8,5,8,8 should I just say i'm on frame 8 since i seem to be landing there most (3/4) of the time?
Why would you need an AR to RNG? I don't own one and I can produce a shiny flawless breed in about an hour if I'm lucky with my delays.
Anyways yeh go with 8, and if you find your not hitting it just adjust for what you are hitting. Typically I only calibrate once, then go for the egg, if its on a different frame I'll aim for that frame instead lol
alright, sounds good to me! thanks
Reposting from yesterday.
I would say its easier catching and in benefits its pretty much the pokeball there's not much else
As Nexus said I think Catching is easier, not as many Steps involved and not as much error involved, but thats just an opinion =/
And the benefits to catching is obviously Legends and having a different Pokeball and I learned to Catch first so I would have Parents when I wanted to Breed :)
I personally find hatching easier/better as I can guarantee shininess, and not have to do quite as many RNG advances. Though some pokes look terrible in a Poke Ball, in which case I will catch it :p It depends on how nit picky you are with the pokeball, really.
Incase you're offline or whatever, too, there's an "IV check" option over on the right side of the Reporter and it has an ability list there too. That'll tell you which is 1 and which is 0.
[edit]
Oh and Newts_Ute, you're welcome. Are you saying that you watched your following pokemon's feet in order to time NPC frame advancements?! Wow! Never thought of that! Could you explain further how you did it? Did 1 step basically correspond to one advancement??
I still don't seem to be getting this. I went to the main menu, selected Method J, and put in the IVs and nature. I get no results. Upon broadening my specifications, I get results, but none have the spread that was originally availible to me in the Capture tab of the Time Finder, and they have frames up in the 50,000 range.
And even if I were to find my original spread, I don't get the whole encounter numbers thing. I'm not sure what the numbers in the window and table mean, and I'm not sure how to match these numbers up with a particular spread.
Did you try setting the Syncrhonizer nature to the nature of the spread? most of the time without a Syncher, your spread cannot be caught at the frame you want.
I actually don't have a Syncrhonizer nature, but after trying some stuff, I think I may have gotten it right. Can you look at what I did, and see if I took the right steps?
First, I went to the Capture tab of the Time Finder, and found my desired spread. From there, I took the seed of this spread, and copy/pasted it into the "Seed (Hex)" on the main menu. Then, I clicked generate, and found an acceptable spread with a low frame rate, and the right encounter slot to find Snover, the Pokemon I'm looking for.
To find a good time, I hit the "Seed to Time" button.
If I did do this right, do I use the "Frame" or "Actual" value when doing RNG advances?

frame is what you base your advancements off not actual frame for this type of RNG
Ok, I guess I'll try my new frame and see how that works. Thanks.
EDIT: It worked. Thanks again for bearing with me.
