If my usual delay is 634, and I use a GBA game (which always switches things from even to odd), do I want to use a delay of 633?

I think you should use 635. I haven't tried putting GBA yet but it makes sense that it adds 1 instead of decreasing it because of the additional time to load it.
 
To capture Jynx, do we need a seed that lists female for all gender ratios, or will a jynx show up if an encounter slot is available for Jynx and even on of the gender ratios is listed as female. For example I have one seed with gender ratio listed M M M F. Will this seed allow me to get a jynx on a frame with an encounter slot that usually gives a Jynx?

for Pokemon with set genders it doesn't mater you can ignore the gender ratios on the spread you want and still use it to catch that Pokemon.

I'm bad at explaining so bear with me. :)

I believe that the gender ratios are only listed so that we will know the gender of a pokemon before we catch it (Important to pokes such as frosslass and gallade). Which is why 100% genders aren't listed.


In other words. As long as the encounter slot is for jynx you can catch it. :)


EDIT: Ninja'd :P

Now here's a tricky question: If I use a spread with the delay of 634, since I can't hit usually hit 635, when I verify my seed, will it show I've hit 635 or 634?

Just put the GBA in the slot-2 and make ajustments to pikatimer as needed.
 
So you mean Pikatimer can make it seem like I'm using a delay of 634, even though the GBA game will turn my delays odd? To be honest, I only use Pika Timer for the actual timer because I find it more soothing than emloop's, so I didn't really know any of the other mechanics.
 
Pikatimer doesn't care if you are using the gba slot or not. It will ajust things as you tell it to. If you will get the delay you want or not depends only on how things usually work for you. My delays in HG are odd, when I want an even delay, i just put the 3rd gen. game and proceed as usual.
 
No what I mean is that for this spread I'm using my average delay. My average delay is 634. However, I need to put in my Sapphire game and when I put in a GBA game, it makes it so I can only hit odd delays. If I can only hit 634, but the game changes things to odd, how can I hit 634 with a GBA game in? And as Frozen Spirit says, I choose a spread of 635, but I didn't understand how to make that work for me.
 
Well, your average is 634, if you put the 3rd gen game it will shift either to 635 or 633 - which are both reachable with a few tries.

If change the year to 2011, the delay will drop to 633. 2009 - 635.

Say you want 635. Put that in wanted delay in pikatimer and use the 3 gen game. Easy as that.

The point was he had a gba game in it already and he needed it in so a poke would appear in the wild.
 
So I've recently "mastered" RNG breeding. I want to take a crack at doing RNG Captures but I wanted to know if there's a huge difference?

I won't be doing it anytime soon but I just wanted to get an idea. :)
 
Hey guys, I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong, because something baffling just happened to me.
I'm trying to get a Careful 31/31/31/7/31/31 Pupitar in Mt Silver (3rd Floor), so I hit my seed, advanced the frames, and promptly caught a Misdreavus with that same spread. The thing is, Misdreavus has encounter slots of 0 and 2, where Pupitar has an encounter slot of 6. Also, none of the frames near my target frame even has a Sweet Scent encounter slot of 0 or 2, so I don't see how I got a Misdreavus...
Any help is very welcome!

Edit: I just ran into a wild Sneasel as well, which means Serebii is lying to me. It says you can't get Sneasel on 3F, which means I'm either not on 3F or their encounter rates are wrong...
I'm just going to try again, but with a different frame, since Larvitar is on all parts of Mt Silver with encounter slots of 9 and 11. I have a frame with encounter slot 11, so I should be good. I'm just confused.

Only thing i can think of is that your not on your bike or your on the wrong floor or you right clicked the wrong frame :P

EDIT: @ Champloo: its actually easier than breeding because all you have to do is go in front of your legendary, save, then proceed to hit your target time then advance the frames. Wild catches are the same way except you sweet scent rather than talk to standing legendary. But make sure to calibrate how far your sweet scent advances the frames! You oonly have to do it once tho, because then it will stay constant for the rest of the time.

Its actually a lot easier. The difference is really that the frame is typically easier to control and the delays and frames tend to be higher. You don't have to hatch your egg to calibrate the frame which makes it a lot faster.
