For those who have successfully used Pandora to get a specific TID/SID/etc.: what do I plug into the calibrated/wanted seconds in PikaTimer? It takes me an average of 69 seconds to get past Oak's introduction, and the time I'm aiming for is 22:15:59. Does this mean I should put 9 for the calibrated seconds, 59 for the wanted seconds, then add a minute to the second timer?

I tried entering 9 for calibrated and 59 for wanted, but then my delay's very low (only around 1000). When I entered this into Other Delay, the timer went to the 90-second range, and I got a delay in the 7000s...

After adjusting to the 7000-delay range, the time when Oak stops talking is now off from my target time. I've adjusted it so many times that I'm not even sure if the seconds reading I'm using is correct for my DS, which leads to problems when I'm verifying my delay in Pandora's Box. Could someone please help me with this? I'm confusing myself.

well to find your delay you must capture a pokemon and check its IVs to determine your seed, delay, and target time. For advancing frames until you get a shiny egg you take eggs from the daycare advancing the IRNG by 1 with each taken, until the next egg is shiny.

@Nexus 1 cred lmk when you want to spend :)
okay so what about Stationary pokemon like Sudo and the legends is it the same as Platinum? but more as in sudo I want to get a shiny one how would i approach this delema?
 
Assuming youre not going to use any cheating devices or anything, do you need your SID to RNG any kind of shiny or do you only need it for shiny eggs?

Sudowoodo is a method K pokemon whose starting frame is 1. I managed to RNG one myself so i tested it out. I think most stationary pokemon start at a frame of 1, additionally they are all method K. What I did was stand in front of it and caught it to check the delay i hit and calibrated my delay until I could hit the one I wanted. I advanced the frames by detuning the radio, a process described by mattj in this post, although you could go into the nearby grass to catch a pokemon to check your seed and do the 128 steps adavancments which is more consistent to perform your frame advancements. Whichever method is ore convenient for you.

EDIT: here's the post talking about radio detuning:

here's a tip about radio detuning (no credits please) use the bottom right hand station for your detuning it seems to give me the most consistent results, and usually only advances the frames by 1 each time you detune it, I'm not guaranteeing this but its what I found from experience.
 
Ok, I've decided to start RNGing for perfect eggs. I found my delay and seconds, but I don't know how you get your target time. Do you just invent it? Help please?
 
Okay, yesterday I've decided to try to abuse my SID in the English Soul Silver. And it appears that the timing is a little bit different from the japanese one. My seconds were 2 to 3 seconds off, so I guess this means that the seed is not generated the moment you dismiss Oak's annoying message, but the moment the screen turns black.

In the japanese game, it wasn't like that, I'm pretty sure.
 
How do we now our delay and seconds exactly so that we dont have do it over and over again (while rnging for wondercards not breeding) cause its always different.
 
What is the starting frame for HO-oh in bell tower?

And is Ho-oh method 1 pokemon? And if it is, do I follow the guide for method 1 pokes, or is it different in HG/SS?

Your delays are really spread out, try doing the same motion of taps to get to the continue screen to get closer delays. Seconds is 14.

Also thanks Nexus!
 
@Dragonboy: Try to be more consistent with the rate you are hitting 'A' from the time you reset to the time you hit continue. You need to have a smaller variance in your average delay.

@Pikachurules: You need to pick a spread that you want to use. Go to the first page of this thread and watch Bearsfan's videos, they walk you through everything step by step.

Ok so i should do fast but not mash 'A' too many times got it ill do somemore and post it
 
When Entei, Raikou and Suicune are roaming around, does Suicune count as a wandering pokemon or is it stationary?

And how would I advance the rng without the journal?
 
I'm really pissed off now. This is the 4th time I've tried to RNG a pokemon and 4th time its failed. The shinyness trick works, but ivs wont, even after I hit the right coin flips, it still won't work after the journal flips. I've tried 4 times, once capture, thrice breeding, and each time it failed. I have all 5 roamers roaming, and I always start at fram 6, and I couldn't have messed up on the journal 4 times, could I? Does anyone know what could be the problem?
