Depends. Are the number of frames you need to advance prime (ie: 7, 11, 13, 17)? Non-prime odd advances you can use either 3 or 5 Pokemon in your party. And even advances you can use 2, 4, or 6 (6 being a worst case scenario).

Increase your maximum delay significantly, and you're bound to find something else.
Is the delay set to odd or even, like in the previous games, like you can only hit even delays for odd years and vice versa?
Nope, I don't think that matters at all this gen.
Does sweet scent advance the frame at all?
Yes. I can't quite remember how many though.. I think it's 2 or 3 depending on location. I seem to remember someone saying that RNG reporter takes this into account so you don't need to worry about it..
Edit:
I was thinking of the PID frame which is not what you're looking at. As the others have stated, it doesn't affect the IV RNG.
Not at all.
Pardon me if I'm just repeating the question. So if you Sweet Scent after hitting your c-gear SEED, the Pokemon's IVs will be on frame 3?
Yes. It doesn't change the frame. (Just the PID, but don't worry about that)
just a small bump c:
and also for the roamer thundurus, can i just kill him then beat the elite 4 and he respawns again?
There is encounter slots.
Thundurus will respawn, but it will be impossible to RNG abuse for IVs as the battles advance the frames about 120 per second. (I think, but you get the idea.) OD stated something about this already 1-2 pages back.

Looking for somebody to help teach me how to RNG.
I understand most of what to do, but I still get hung up at some points.
If I can get the blasted thing to work once, I won't need further teaching.
Thanks in advance to anybody who wants to take the time and teach me.
And sorry if I posted this in the wrong place :P

Well a guide hasnt been release for shinys yet :/
But for delay you can put 1500/6000 and for max frame you can put 3 of it's your first time. That should be pretty basic for now
I have a quick question. I'm trying to capture my Zekrom on the seed b95ca76c which comes with a hefty delay of 6836. I calibrated my delay and on the last check I hit 6838.
3 hours later with no luck I decided to check where I was actually hitting and the result was erratic to say the least. In the space of 5 captures I hit the extremes of 11 below and 13 above my target. In Emerald, Platinum and Heart Gold I have always used emloop timer and my misses were always within 4 of my target. This time I am using the Eontimer posted in the beginning of this thread.
Is the Eontimer known to be so erratic at larger delays? I'm using the audible cue as it is kind of difficult to watch the time count down while blindly hoping to hit the yes on the DS screen (would be a lot easier if I could just press a button) and I've noticed the beeps are not always consistant when counting down.
Or
Is this just one of the issues with the C-Gear and B/W? It is frustrating me because I could have simply SR'd a result better than anything surrounding my target.

I'm using EonTimer to capture Cobalion with a delay of 7401, and I got it a few times. So all you can do is just keep trying.
Maybe it's the C-gear since I had the same problem with my Zekrom although it was only for me it was +-4 delay. I was also using emloop so maybe it's the high delay the problem (I had a 1448 delay).
I kept hitting +-4 delay for like 4hours (even and odd ones) but I did hit the occasional +-10 of my delay. When I finally hit my seed, my synch didn't work.
So it took me like 8+ hours so RNG the stupid Zekrom...
