hello all, i am new in RNGing
I'm having a tough time hitting delays over 500
my calibrated delay is 488 at 13 seconds
i got my ID and SID figured out from the Shiny Gyarados at Lake of Rage
i can get the seeds when the delays are between 488 and 496 when trying to capture
but when i try to hatch shiny, when the seed is say like 534, i SR when the first timer hits Zero (pikatimer), and smash A until Lugia screams, then hit continue when the 2nd time hits Zero, I would miss the delay completly, i.e. using Elm to verify, i would use "search elm" for the sequence to find nearby Delays but it would tell me it cant find anything
I already did the following:
Kill Roamers, In Kanto, Showed Togepi Egg, Showed PkRs and talked to Elm
one thing in question though, I have never met Steven Stone, so I have never activated Latios to roam. Would this affect my seed finding?
another thing is, when the delay is like 700 something, im still suppose to keep smashing A until Lugia scream and just let it stay in the continue screen until the 2nd timer (pikatimer) hits Zero, right? if i'm doing this step wrong then everything would be off.
Please show me some guidance. Thanks.
