Not a question, just an interesting observation I made... I used the RNG Reporter to find a shiny egg for me, a jolly male. I hit the seed, verified it, and hatched it, but it wasn't shiny. I just realized that I forgot to update the OT ID, but I had updated the SID. Interestingly, though, the hatched pokemon was still a jolly male.
I haven't actually RNG'd for IVs, but I have RNG'd for shiny eggs. There are actually two RNGs, one is the regular RNG and the other is the IRNG, which is for eggs (I think the I stands for Incubating). The IRNG is not advanced by Elm calls, but it is advanced by taking an egg (or rejecting it) or it can be advanced by 2 by calling Joey when he isn't seeking a rematch.
So, for your seed, call Elm to verify the seed, then call Joey 6 times (make sure he isn't seeking a rematch) to advance to frame 12. Deposit your pokemon to the Daycare then get an egg and reject it, advancing it to frame 13. Now generate one more egg and accept it - your target frame 14 should be this egg.
I think that works if you use no SID and no OT so you can target a nature and ability without the shininess. Someone found a shortcut to this without having to hit the exact seed. KuyaJBoy told me that you can try to hit your seed, but if you hit an adjacent, you plug in the seed of the adjacent in the first window of RNG Reporter and generate the egg possibilities and, hoping your target nature and ability aren't too far down the frames, you advance frames to get the egg on the adjacent spread instead of the target.
My delays can vary by 10 as well. Sometimes I consistently hit 588, other times I hit anywhere from 582 to 592. Just check your delay and if it keeps hitting 587, find a new seed with the new delay. If it fluctuates, just keep trying and eventually you will hit the right delay.
Wow, that's great to know. Don't have to go through all the work if I'm not looking for a shiny. Thanks. Also, thanks for the guides you posted in your thread on RNGing shiny eggs, that's how I learned to RNG :)
You're welcome, lukester. Btw, I've had seeds in which the delays swung plus and minus 50 or more in either direction. I had no choice but to choose a different seed whenever this happened.
black.arwing, dump the power item. You don't need it for RNG. When doing RNG, all the IVs are chosen by the gamer, not by the power item, so the item is only making your friend's RNG results random.

New page, I'm still clueless.
Well, since it's frame 22, it should be fairly easy. I haven't written up my guides for catching standing legendaries yet, but read the bits about hitting your seed and getting egg IVs. Some of the steps are the same (the use of Roamers to know if you landed on an adjacent, the Elm calls, etc.) Pay attention to the advice of Pehu that I copied there. This is how you can tell where you are when you start your Elm calls. Stop exactly one frame before your target. Do not make the call that goes with your target frame. Stop one before and talk to the legendary.
I believe you need method K in RNG Reporter, but double check that. The info is somewhere in the first few posts of this help thread.

You can't soft reset because you must change the DS clock every time. It's just a matter of adjusting your timing until you get the right seconds. You're using Pikatimer, right? So you need to adjust the second timer based on where you landed in the game. If you landed on an adjacent with a delay that is lower, you put in the other delay and hit update. Then you reset the DS clock and try again. Did you read my guide on Pikatimer?
Right click on your seed in Time Finder if you got it there and choose generate more results. If you have the seed in the main window, go to Seeds to time and input all necessary info to generate results. Go read my guides for info on adjacents. It's basically the same info, but you have to apply it to catching the legendary with the right IVs instead of an egg with the right IVs.
And no, you don't have that correct on Pikatimer. You change the second timer using the adjacent delay, so long as that delay showed up in the right seconds.

Chamommy, that was raichu... not me x]
I'm not familiar with JavaRNG, but doesn't it tell you the frame?
Having located a seed, you now use Seed to Time to find out what time and delay you must hit in the game to be able to get that spread. Once you successfully hit that seed, then you advance to the frame that JavaRNG presumably gave you.
