That's fine. You can try using 14 seconds and 630 as your delay. You can adjust to get the right one later. That seems like a really high delay though. I wouldn't be surprised if it goes down into the 570-580 range with a 14 second calibration.

Aren't you using Pikatimer? ._.
This is where my understanding of what's going on disappears...I don't understand how you can hit the perfect time every time, getting a desired delay when I can't hit the same delay twice...Is there somewhere that words it all differently to this guide?
You can't hit the same delay twice because button mashing is inconsistent. When you actually are trying to hit something, you're working with the consistency of a timer. This will help you get within a few delays every time. Btw, 1 delay = .015 second.
But you need to hit the delay head on to get what you want?
Edit: Right, I've been looking through it and I think I get some of it. If I save my game on the water outside of the pokémon league with a repel active and then change my time and reset to try catch a jolly Magikarp on the old rod, I should move/turn on the water for an increase of 1 frame each, and get it equal to the target frame minus 4 'cause I'm fishing to get the 'Karp?
Yeah.. but it's not as bad as it sounds. You can only hit either even or odd, so that means you have to be within .033 seconds. (I had the other number wrong, it was .0167) A person can react pretty fast, so you can easily come close to it. Eventually by getting in the general area, you hit it.
Right, so as long as the reset is done at the right time I should get it sooner or later. And is what I edited into the other post correct?
Yes, I am using the PikaTimer :p I just hit my delay, but messed up with the calls again >_< time to try again!
So it's impossible to trade shiny eggs, basically (unless you have 2 games with the exact same ID/SID - which is almost impossible without hacks). Well thanks for the info, Guess I'll be hatching this in the original games then XD. Hopefully trading back my egg to the original game won't cause any issues :|
Edit: Yeah, it hatched fine. Thanks again guys.
It's not impossible to have 2 games with the same ID/SID. Just RNG them both with the same ID/SID and you're good. Even though, idk why you would do that.
@Zorrioh:
You can also RNG them as if your ID / SID was that of the other game.
This will result in the Egg hatching shiny on the game it's traded to (however it would hatch regular on the first game).
Also, some ID/SID combos have the same Shiny spreads (hence why Pandora's Box in RNG Reporter will show you LOTS of ID / SID combos that match a specific PID that you enter.
So there are a few ways you can trade Shiny eggs, but in general, no, you can't.

Yup. ^_^
You can still hatch it on the game you're RNG'ing to check whether nature, ability, and gender are correct. Along with IV's. Just don't save after hatching it.
Okay this is weird. I was continually hitting 895 (I wanted 897), and every once and a while I would hit 807, even though I know I wasn't that far off. So when I decided to see what I wass really hitting and hatched the egg, I found that it had all the stuff I had specified, except it didn't turn out shiny... Has anyone else had this happen?
Sometimes two delays will have the same or close to the same seed verification. So it may just be the two delays you're looking at have the same first 10 calls as the same, when you're really hitting your real one. So you may want to RNG normally once you hit that delay.
@ M0TTO:
It depends what the poke is. If it's a wild poke (i.e. in the grass, non-roamer) then you'll need to see which of those frames matches the Encounter Slot for the poke that you want to capture (in a specific area).
If it's a legendary, it would probably be easier to try for Frame 11.
10 Elm calls to verify your seed, and then encounter frame 1 for (IIRC) all standing legendaries in HGSS.
Alternatively, if it's a legendary you could wait until you are hitting delays near your target, and then just trigger the battle as soon as it starts. If the poke is shiny, you've hit your seed, if not, turn off DS and try again.

I'm going after HP Grass 70 Zapdos. I hit my seed twice, advanced the frame correctly and caught the Poke, but both times the Nature ended up being Impish instead of Timid. Correct IVs, just wrong nature.
I am using a synch. The seed is 54170460, and I think it's frame 95. You should be able to find it in RNGReporter.
Am I doing something wrong? I've always used a synch and never had a problem until now, and twice in a row too.

Impish with those IVs:

not possible in HGSS. the IVs have to be different. you're probably ending up at frame 98. 95, 101, 103, 105, 107 are all timid with those IVs, so go for any of them.

no, rng reporter needs .net 2.0
I was able to RNG for some shinies (Lileep, Mudkip, Staryu) in the school's comp, but I still can't open the RNG reporter at home... And I wanna do it there...
I can't install the .Net framework either...
This might help... I don't know much about computers... T_T
So... How could I get it to work? T_T
Looks like you already have the framework.. which is why that wont install. The RNG reporter not running must be something different. You said there were no errors, correct?
