???I'm RNGing for Wondercard IVs, and it's my first ever time RNGing and I'm a bit stuck:
as someone said earlier, my delay range is 600-610, yet I never seem to get the right one. Is there any way to get the delay I need, or do I have to keep trying?
Also, when I Journal flip, does the initial appearance count as a flip? The fram I want is 26, with no wanderers, so that's 12 Journal flips and one NPC movement, right?
If it matters at all, the Wondercard Pokémon is the PBR Electivire.
You have a reminder of 1
If your frame is 26
then
26-1(for pokemon) = 25
25/2 = 14.5
You have to experiment and see if you need a NPC to move or not
As for the journal I would advise you to do the flip when it pops up
Also what is your seed
The guide says if it's odd you need to subtract one so it divides into a whole number.
The seed I want is 8A140262.
The bit in the 'Time' section is my target time, isn't it?
EDIT: I just hit the seed, and the IVs are wrong. When the Journal first appears, it advances the RNG by 2 doesn't it?

About the journal flips unless it said a pokemon was capture or defeated I not sure if the RNG will advance, if it open automatically. I still will advise you to do the flips when the journal open
Does anyone know why I would be hitting delays that are all over the place with no consistency regardless of doing the same thing each time when ID abusing. I reset at 1 min. exactly and get into the game world at around 2min 5sec. on the stopwatch. But the delay results I get are ridiculously far away from one another, even when using the same month, day, and year, and only advancing the minute by 2 or 3.
*And yes, I do make note of the fact that the minute for the seed finder is 2 min after the initial sync time.*

It does have a page on captured/defeated a Pokémon, so that makes 11 Journal flips + 1 NPC movement?
Hitting the seed is getting annoying though.
If you caught/defeated a pokemon on this day, the initial journal page will advance the frame (although you can still compensate for this in your frame calibration).
However, when you start your game the journal won't appear automatically anymore, because you've already played on that day. To get around this, I usually set my DS clock to some other day (at least 2 days away), save the game on that other day, and then the original date can be used again.
If the frame is 26
-1 for the wondercard is 25
-1 = 24
24/2 = 12 journal flips that have "capture or defeated pokemon"
then 1 NPC movement
@starvos
I believe its the same
1
5
9
Not sure though >.>
@At kirbyman
If your are doing 11 flips then 1 movement and getting a frame of 27 then something is happening (like a npc is moving)
11x2 = 22
1 npc movement (no turn and step, just one step) 23
wondercard pkmn = 24?
27 != 24
I keep notcing I'm getting a frame of 27 with 11 journal flips and 1 NPC movement. I'll try without the NPC.
A video I just watched said that everytime an NPC turns, it advances by one, and everytime they move, it advances by 2. True?
turn = 1
step(I was told if it just take 1 step forward) = 1
turn step = 2
if you can, plz link me the video please
thanks do you know which one is at each frame?
I really dont remember, but I would advise you to ask Nexus, Pehu or another person who have ID abused
Here you go HCZ

It also says it's the hardest by far. Would anyone else say that? I tried breeding and found that really hard.
EDIT: Due to the placement of my NPC, he can't do a turn step (it's the Sandgem PokéMart).

I didnt hear him saying anything about NPC on that videos.
But
Please list me the steps you are taking?
You are saved infront of the deliveryman correct?
EDIT: Found it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2WHU8cuE1s
Anyway, the steps.
1. Set my DSi (and computer) clockto 20:57 on the 13th of May 2010 (my syncronize time).
2. Load Platinum.
3. Wait until the computer's clock says 20:58 and SR.
4. Continuosly press A until I get to the start screen.
5. Press A on the start screen when the computer's clock says 20:58:15
6. Flip the Journal 11 times.
7. Cancel the Journel.
8. Wait for the NPC to move.
9. Press A to talk to the deliveryman.
10. Recieve Electivire.
11. Check IVs.
12. Repeat.
I'm saved right in front of the deliveryman by the way.
try 12 flips and see what frame you will land of when you hit your target time
RNG advance when I do it
RNG advance when I do it
One other question as well. Is it absolutely necessary to put the calendar ahead a couple of days in order to calibrate before doing an IV spread? Can you go ahead and do the calibration without having to have the journal pop up?
You can but you wont get accurate results, because you cant guartee that youll hit start the same time everytime to make the menu pop up and stop NPC movement, so its better off just having the journal pop up not like its hard to change the date anyways...
Thanks, Jubiliee. You happen to know the answer to my first question as well? Repeated below.
For flipping pages, Smogon says "Do not count the journal's initial appearance as a page flip."
I have a captured Bibarel on the first page of the journal when the journal appears. So does this mean the Bibarel absolutely does not count as an advance?
"Opening the Journal, or having it automatically open, when there is a caught or defeated Pokémon on the first page advances the RNG by 2 seeds."
it was right on the front page, I don't know where you found that other info. and by seeds it means advances the frames by 2
