5th Gen PRNG Help / Info - Latest: RNG Reporter 9.96.5, PPRNG 1.15.0

What should I set my DS's time to when I want to start my 2-stage timer? I need to hit a time of 8:50:58, so I'm not sure if I should set it to 8:50 or 8:49 or what. I need to hit a delay of 2986 and I'm using Eontimer, if any of that makes a difference :]

Thanks in advance ^^

Set to 8:49. Soft reset at 8:50:07.92. Turn on C-Gear at 8:50:58
 
I need assurances of the roaming legendary. The IVs are generated once I step outside the house, right? If so, and if I want the lowest frame possible (I'm going with frame 4, so I won't need to make any advances), should I stand right at the edge of the old ladies home, save right there, and go through the process of RNG from there?

Edit: oh, I assume Synchronizer doesn't work, does it?
 
About C-Gear RNG...

In Dragon Quest IX, we manipulate non-groto chest by opening a map and entering a room to fix a seed. Once the seed is fixed, the item-per-frame list is always the same and all that is left to do is advance the appropriate number of frames for the desired item and them open the chest.

For In-Groto chests the seed is fixed when you enter the grotto, the item-per-frame list is also always the same for that seed and it advances one frame per second while we are viewing the battle records. One the desired item is on the top of the timer list, we exit the battle records screen and open the chest. Here's a chest timer to illustrate this.

I'm assuming the PID-Nature-Ability for BW is similar as the In-Grotto's chest items. So is there no way to calculate the nature-per-frame list for a given seed+mac so we can just let the C-Gear run and turn it off on the desired nature?
 
Hey guys i was wondering what is the best min/max delay to search and what is the highest frame preferred to be searched?

right now im at 1500/3000 and 9, but that really aint doing much for me :/

While that is theoretically possibly, the hard part is finding the initial seed, and the starting frame. The PID RNG is seeded when you soft reset (like a non-C-Gear seed) but advances a random number of times when you start up the game.

And a timer is also a bit unnecessary. Saving can advance the PID frame by one.

Minimum delay of 1500, maximum delay of 6000, and maximum frame of 50.

It could be because your max delay is a little low so you won't really find low frames like that. Increase you frames to 1500/4000-5000, and put a max frame of 10. You'll probably get something depending on your MAC Address.

EDIT: xElite suggested a more formal one. I suggested this one just so you won't have to work hard repeling your way to advance your frames.. just saying.
 
Alright i want to RNG Cobalion and my seed has a frame of 9. So i save it front, hit my delay, walk 128 steps( Party of 6), and then proceed to catch him?

Does that sounds about right?

Correct. Don't forget to put your synchronizer in the lead spot and hope you get the nature you want.

Yes, but walking 256 steps with 3 pokemon allows you to readily check its IVs once you catch it.
 
Joshk_bra, advancing your frame with steps is going to be difficult, just so you know. I was originally going to use a frame of 28 to catch my Cobalion but I kept running into wild pokemon, even with Repels. It could work for you, but running into any wild pokemon will void that attempt...
 
While I was re-RNG abusing a Petilil, I knew the encounter slot value for one was on 10. (I caught one with that value) According to the encounter slot chart, I looked at 0-19. So I knew Petilil would appear at that slot.

I used the PID (41E226CF) that would give me a shiny. The ESV was 19. Shiny Petilil should appear, right? Apparently no. A shiny Venipede appeared instead.

Can anyone explain why did this occur? I highly doubt it's because of the region differences.
 
Alright thanks for the help :D

Yeah the 3 pokemon sounds better, but i dont have pokes with the necessary move D:

Only Strength and Flash needed in the cave. Golett solves that problem. I'm going for the same thing right now, so good luck to you.

Still waiting on a reply about this.
