This may be a stupid question, but You can use synchronizers when RNG abusing for shinys right?

How do you get better at getting flawless IV's when RNG breeding
I thought so, I'm just not getting any spreads to come up then. Thanks Nexus.
I'm having trouble RNG'ing with the swarm poké in HGSS. Whenever I get the swarm poké I want, I save, go to the DSi menu and change the date/time to what seed I want to hit. Whenever I enter the game, the Swarm has changed. Should I get the swarm, then not save? Or is something else going wrong here?
Also, if I enter the game with the radio playing, how will that affect the RNG? I will be on Mary/Oak's talk show if that matters.

Yes I know that. But if I RNG the swarm pokémon, I have to change the date to hit a specific seed. I was asking how to keep the swarm pokémon the same, not how swarm works. It doesn't matter, though, I figured it out.
Another question:
How does entering the game with Mary & Oak's talk show on affect the RNG?
After resetting for Regice and hitting my frame after 15 or so tries, I've decided I'd like to do some more RNG'ing in Emerald.
I hatched a shiny Charmander a while back, but most guides on RNG'ing say that to get your SID you need to catch a wild shiny. That being said, is there anything useful I can deduce from my Charmander or its IVs? Could I find and use its frame to hatch other shinies or anything?

You could always migrate any of the pokemon onto DPPt or HGSS and just get a SID check done. Which in my opinion is easier than going about finding a random shiny.
How do you know if a seed's calls will be skipped?

No, a bred pokemon's ivs will not help you deduce your SID.
and yes. SID only matters for shinies
Either you have roamers causing skipped calls or you have NPCs moving in your area and you didn't get into the Pokegear quick enough before they moved.
Ugh. Iv been so worried about that too >_>
*Goes to beat Platinum again*
Side note:
Any ideas on whether it's easier to RNG in Plt. or HG/SS? And I mean
Catching, breeding seems like more work than it's worth :p
A pokemon that originated form your Emerald (read, has Emerald's OT and ID no.) will also contain that trainer's SID in it's data. Regardless of the game it's in now, a quick look in Pokesav will reveal the Emerald trainer's SID.
So how does this work? I know that such a simple question may have already been answered, but a little help would be great.
just plug in the ID/SID of the "destination" game into RNG reporter and use that to generate a shiny egg spread. RNG like you always do in the "origin" game and when the egg is sent to the "destination" game it will hatch shiny there.
Excellent! loads of thanks.
Are the Charmanders bred from eggs or chained with pokeradar? If not, then http://www.smogon.com/ingame/rng/deducing_secret_id. Otherwise, I wouldn't think you can deduce SID without a save file editor.
You could always trade one of them to someone and they can Pokesav to check it for you. Just ask nicely!
I just found out that if the pokemon's ID starts with a zero, like Draco Meteor Jirachi's does (06260) the legality check program will ignore the first zero and list the ID no. as 6260 and will not match the secret id. Or maybe it was my pokesave that suppressed the first zero.
