ahh, so just record any sound on Chatter, and shit will be good? [assuming the images i posted are correct.]

on a similar note, it has frame 48 and nearby shiny as 156. what do those mean exactly. do i have to do something different since it's frame 48?

It also resets whenever you deposit your Chatot into the PC, so always make sure to double-check it.

Never mind, read that second part wrong.

It means you need to find a new frame, because those NPCs are going to screw your PID frame all up as you advance your IV frame. You pretty much need an IV frame of 1. You should probably read Kaphotics' guide linked to at the top of post three in this thread.
 
Alright, so I just found a quality IV spread with the nature I need with an IV Frame of 1.

Starting frame of 48, and a pid of 178. best i could do.

so.. as long as i hit my time correctly, chick is right in front of me when i hit the menu to start chattering.. things should work out as planned


edit; quick question.. does a NPC fuck with your RNGing, if they dont move?

Can you go into detail on how I can find my parameter then? I do own the game but I want to get dream world pokemon so changing my date all the time stops all my chances of getting into dream world.

it's hard to say, as you just need to keep adjusting the parameters until you find yours. most flash cards work fine, though there are a few that it isn't possible to use since their vcount and timer0 vary too much. also, if you're using a flash card with the dsi for standard seeds(which is fine because all flash cards run or can run in ds mode) you need to pay attention to the fact that all flash cards use an "SWI - reset" instruction in order to get themselves booting on the console. that can throw off both your gxstat and the lower half of your MAC. to adjust, you may need to set gxstat to 86 instead of 6 and check the "soft reset" box even though you aren't soft-resetting.

Don't know the answer to that question but it's easy to figure out if there's any advancement between entering the menu/exiting the menu. Just hit your seed, bring up the menu, exit the menu and get the gift pokemon. Check it's IVs to confirm you hit your seed then check your starting frame and 1-4 PID frames above your starting frame to see if there's any advancement.
 
Wow, I tried Standard Seed method to see if I could at least do that, but can't even get past calibration (no seeds show up). I've been soft-resetting if that makes a difference.
 
Okay.. the elemental monkey chick, when i brought up the game was standing right in front of me [which is GREAT], but before i could menu up.. she TURNED.. but did not move a space.. how many frames does that advance? if any. because seriously.. i have to take advantage of this moment if i can. [looked in the thread, couldnt find this]

She always moves in the same way if you're in the same position and hitting the same seed. Basically find a spot, save, hit your seed, Keep pressing X as the season thing comes up (don't press A to get rid of the season). Keep doing this and changing spots until you find a spot where she's in front of you/moves towards you.
After that you can figure out how many frames are advanced by doing what I said before.
 
When I went for my Panpour, she advanced by like, what, 4 or 5, but it's pretty much random. Talk to her after she moves to see about how much she advances by looking at your starting frame and comparing it to where you landed, like UpsideDownHitmontop stated before. Actually, you really should do that.

She moved to another spot when I went for mine, but I adjusted to that (knew how much she advanced if she went this/that way because I did the method mentioned above, then advanced and stepped towards her accordingly) and got my shiny. It helps drastically to know that info, knowing how to adjust I mean.
 
okay so i did what you guys said, and i was able to save apparently 1 square away from her. and when i started the game, she took 1 step right into my path, face to face. i opened/closed menu.. and got the poke.

Ivs are perfectly how i wanted, but the nature was Frame 51s, and my starting frame is 47. Frame 178 is the nature/shiny i need.

so if this same thing happens again when i hit my seed on the load up.. she will walk in my path, i menu and chatter 127 times, and that should give me my ideal result?
 
Is it at all realistic to try to RNG a shiny drilbur from a shaking spot? As far as I understand, there's no NPCs for me to worry about in Wellspring Cave, so the only frame advancement (both standard and PIDRNG) will be from moving and turning right?
 
I don't see why not. You could get one from there, make sure to pick a spread that requires some IV frame advancements so there's time for a patch to pop up.

Yes. As long as she moves the same way, you should be able to get it like that.
She'd randomly move different directions for me. If that happens, just check which frame she advanced to that time, and try again.

Ive actually been soft resetting each time since the load time is a little long. Ill try just loading from the menu and see how far that gets me.

Because you were pressing A when the season came up? If you press only X as the season comes on she always moves in the same way (given that you're saved in the same spot).

EDIT: Nvm, figured it out.
 
Minor bug here:

Needs to be Infiltrator. :)
 
RNG Reporter version: 9.81 BETA
Mac adress: 0019FD7D2D4D
Seed: 8DB6A0398014C6CD @ frame 7

3 pokemon in my party

I'm trying to RNG a Shiny Drilbur in the dust, and I did the following;

(Attempt 1)

Took 256 steps (2 x 128 steps for 2 x 3 standard frame advancements) (total of 512 PIDRNG advancements)
Turned 37 times (total of 74 PIDRNG advancements)
Chattered 41 times (total of 41 PIDRNG advancements)
My initial PIDRNG frame is 45

The Drilbur I catch has the right IVs which means I hit my seed. The Drilbur is female, has a Bold nature and has Sand Rush as her ability.

I should be landing on PIDRNG frame 678 which is the frame I am trying to hit. The nearest frames with a Bold nature, Sand Rush and female are at 430 and 680. I make the assumption that my real initial PIDRNG frame is 47 and try again.

(Attempt 2)

Took 258 steps (2 x 128 steps for 2 x 3 standard frame advancements) (total of 516 PIDRNG advancements)
Turned 36 times (total of 72 PIDRNG advancements)
Chattered 43 times (total of 43 PIDRNG advancements)
My initial PIDRNG frame is 47

The Drilbur I catch has the right IVs which means I hit my seed. The Drilbur is male, has a Lax nature and has Sand Force as his ability.

I should be landing on PIDRNG frame 678 which is the frame I am trying to hit. The nearest frames with a Lax nature, Sand Force and male are 658 and 771.

Couple questions.
Am I correct that the only actions that would advance my PIDRNG frame are moving and turning, and that walking against a wall does not advance the frame?
Did I make any mistake in my calculations?
Is there a more reliable way to find out what PIDRNG frame I hit aside from guestimating based on what I catch?


Edit: Some additional info.
 
So given there's an option to check out Surfing spots and Fishing spots, is there a consistent way to get a hit on Frame 1 IV (mainly for fishing) as well as the starting PID frame, as I seem to miss quite a bit which throws off the PID but somehow keeps the IV Frame in place.
 
@Wordproblems: I got your PM. I noticed you're using ZomgTimer for your Entralinking. In the prerequisites, I mention you should specifically use EonTimer because it has a calibration setting for Entralink abuse (The High Link box). Don't use ZomgTimer. I guess I'll go clarify that further in the guide ^^;

I also noticed you're using PPRNG? With regards to that, here's a question for those of you who can use PPRNG since I don't have a Mac:

Is there a function to set a min/max search frame for the equivalent of the Seed to Times/Adjacents Finder in PPRNG? The Delay and Second boxes use +/- the value you enter into those boxes as the range, but the Frame box doesn't seem to have a +/- function. Does that mean the "C-Gear Inspector" only searches the one frame you specify in that box? If that's the case, you might want to try putting "21" into that box since the first Pokemon you encounter during calibration will likely be on frame 21.

[edit] Thanks to ProbopassSausages for answering my PPRNG question on IRC. If I understand correctly, there should be an option to set your Min/Max IV range in the Frames tab, which I hope you've done so besides also specifying the range of your Delays and Seconds. Unfortunately I won't be able to guide you through this as the interface seems to differ from RNG Reporter's.
 
This is rather strange. Out of all the times I've calibrated for my current PID frame, I can't seem to determine it in Terrakion's cave. I keep getting different natures. I am making the same turns and steps, but no matter how many times I try to find my current PID frame, it's different each time. The IVs are always the same by the way. (The spread I want)

What could be the problem? It's as if there was an invisible NPC, lol. I've done the same process with Cobalion (with a different seed) and the calibration worked fine. (Also needing to advance the IV frame) I highly doubt it's the turns.

Extra info:
MAC address: 001B7A84D421
Seed: 1C63C0E826FB3AE0
Frame: 5

EDIT: After a crapload of testing, It could be something to do with running and then turning quick? I decided to walk little by little, turn, etc, and found my PID frame. I just found it strange that I kept getting random natures. I remember that I did run when going to Cobalion, and never got me this problem. >_>
