Your seed is not quintflawless, so there is no guarantee that you'll get quintflawless. For all we know, even hitting your seed you might just inherit the 3 IVs that are 31 on your seed.

No, it is not HEX Flawless. It is quint-flawless, as quint means 5. So, maybe you are right, but WHY is this happening? Sorry for being a noob. Also, how can I fix this issue of only getting those three stats?
By the way, I tried to hit my seed again. FAILURE. It is Timid with Max SP.ATK and SP.DEF.... It got SP.ATK from Zoroark, and SP.DEF from Smeargle.
I dont get a "Quintflawless" spread for this seed
Well, maybe that is because:
A:) You are using a different MAC Address
or
B:) You don't have flawless parents
By the way, why are you trying to use my spread?

The thing is: this is NOT quint-flawless, as I've said before. It's tri-flawless. The parents use PIDRNG to define the inheritance, but the seed is tri-flawless only. If you're having problems to breed like this, find a better seed.
I get it. Yeah the seed is only tri-flawless. Maybe I should look for another.... :(
EDIT: I finally realized the PID determines what stats you get from your parents. So, my starting PID frame was probably incorrect. I am re-calculating it as of now!
Uhh, how do u advance the frame when you're collecting the egg if, lets say, for example, your frame is 10? Would you advance it in a non NPC moving zone, then get ur egg?
You probably don't want to work with a frame 10 spread. Like the guide recommends, you should just find a spread on frame 8. It will make EVERYTHING easier.
By the way, I can't even hit my spread...... >_< Not raising the PID or anything, as I am trying to figure out my starting PID... I need to get Max HP, Max SP.DEF, and Max SPD to have hit my spread. I repeatedly get Max ATK, Max DEF, and Max SP.DEF. What the heck am I doing wrong!!!?? :(
Just do your advancements inside the Day-Care and then walk out and grab the egg ASAP to find your starting PID if that's what you're going for. Works fine. (:
Thanks for your advice/ Like i said that was just an example, but im sure i can narrow it down to 8 (hopefully)
Um, to your problem. Are you sure you're in the correct seed? part of the reason that i messed it up in Stationary Pokemon RNGing because i would forget to not press a button in loading screen, thus messing it up. Also, like Pehu was recommending, does you parents have any items attached?
Um, isnt the PID for shinyness only? Im just going for ivs, any other factors to consider?
Yes, I said "if that's what you're going for" to refer to shininess. NPCs do not affect the IV frame you're on, so when you mentioned them affecting your RNGing I assumed you were going for shininess. If you are only going for IVs, it doesn't matter where you advance your steps.
No. PID determines nature, shininess, ability, gender and inheritance. If you both your parents and the seed have the spread that you want then you don't have to worry about inheritance but otherwise it's important.

If you don't want to manipulate the PIDRNG it's best if you pick near flawless parents. Personally I always make sure my parents are perfect to save me the trouble. But if you want to make sure you land on a specific set of inheritances, especially if you're trying to breed a DW ability, you'll need to try to limit the NPC movements anyway.

How would i find my initial PID in order to abuse for nature / ability. (No shiny due to no SID). On the RNG screen, there's a slot in the Time finder for PID, but i assume that's the seed that you're on/ aiming for right?
And just how do you do that?
Well I use the search method suggested by Tesseraction so I get x/x/x/31/31/31 from my seed then I just RNG the parents to have 31 for Atk/Def/SpAtk and find a PID to get my flawless spread.
Don't use the calculate initial PID option in RNG reporter. To find your initial PID you hatch the first egg without doing any PID advances (or with 1 frame advancement if you use Tesseraction's method) and search for a match RNG reporter between PID frame 40-60. This is why you want to use frame 8 as it makes things so much easier as there is less worry about NPC advancement while you're dashing out of the house.
Generate adjacent seeds. If you did your parameter calibration enough times you should already know what your other timer0 is but I guess a lot of people just do it once and think that they found the right parameters...
Thanks for the advice. But how exactly do I find what Timer0 I keep hitting?
That's a good method. I prefer searching for IV spreads with flawless IVs across the board so I can re-use the same seed for different HP breeds with varying parents since it saves me the trouble of having to RNG new ones since I usually have my parents already, heh. With International shiny egg RNGing oftentimes one seed will give you several shiny PIDs with varying inheritances and abilities in a row so there's usually plenty of choice when it comes to picking my parents anyway.
Which Function of the RNG would help me find the PID frame 40-60?
Generate adjacent seeds in the time finder and you should be able to find the seed with the IVs you keep getting. That will give you the timer0 you keep hitting.
There's no function to "give" you it. You input the seed where it says seed (hex), set the method to breeding BW and generate the list of PIDs then search all the PIDs between 40-60 to find the one that you're starting on (after hatching the first egg of course). You can use the calculate initial PID to figure out the minumum value it can be. It's usually a little higher(1-3 frames higher in my experience) than the value that the calculate initial PID function gives though
Ok So i hatch the egg, and i find the Frame which compares to my egg that hatched? And would this PID stay consistent as long as i Dont change my seed?
Yes, as long as you can bring up the menu fast enough so that the NPCs don't advance the frame you should get consistent results (Please use frame 8 and save in front of the man if you don't want to miss your target PID 10 times). View chatot's summary however many times you need to and remember that when you exit the menu you must get the egg as quickly as possible (Mash A).
Also don't resave. If you save again the NPCs will be in a different position which I've heard gives you a different starting PID.
Can someone please elaborate on "adjacent seeds" and what exactly are the means to go about getting them?
