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

yea i did. i used serebii's iv calculator. i am at victory road. catching durant to find my parameter. if my time is 22.00.30 then in the RNG i should put the same right?

is there any possibility that the DS lite i am using cant work? and before this i was playing this pokemon game with DSi. will it affect it?

I use the DSi XL to play in and switch to my old DS lite for RNGing. Swapping over is no problem.

When you say your time, are you setting the DS lite to 22.00, then restarting it and pressing A when the DS clock gets to 22.30? You must be exact to the second.

Also, do you have the day/month the right way around? They are different from the format my country uses, which can make it confusing.

i set it to 22.00. then when it hit 22.00.30 i press A.

I manage to catch the same pokemon with same IV after the first time trying and i entered that IVs in but no results.

the calendar I did it right. it is normal that after i set my ds time it will shut down right?

I am not sure where else i am wrong..

And after I start the game. when do i press "A" or "start" to advance? I waited after the "game freak" only i press "A"

Yes, it's normal for the DS to shut down after you set the time.
Yes, after pressing A at the correct time, you should next press A when you see the Game Freak logo.
Are you saying no to "Launch C-Gear communications?"

Perhaps if you post a screen shot of your parameters page I might be able to see a problem.

I doubt it is the problem but Serebii's calc gives bad feedback sometimes in 5th gen. I would suggest using the one here.
 
Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I found an issue with the RNG Reporter. The 4th Gen Shiny Egg finder does not find a delay that matches your input. I have a feeling that it has something to do with the MAC address (as in it's using the MAC address when it shouldn't be), but I don't know for sure.

Yeah, I had the same problem as well. Unfortunately, RNG Reporter 9.81 doesn't support Gen. 4 breeding, but older versions (Not sure how much older) will work. Idk why, though.

Only problem is that older versions search 1 day at a time, and if you're trying to search for one specific delay or a very narrow range, you're going to be searching for a while.
 
What Encounter Type do I need to use for Ducklett/Swanna? Is it like the grass, water, or caves?

I would go with Wild Pokemon Dust Cloud/Spot (Or something like that). But you're going to have a really hard time with this (If you're aiming for a specific PID frame) because most of the time when you step on one of the shadows, you're going to get a Wing, not a Ducklett / Swanna. So it's going to be hard finding your SSF and if your luck is bad, your target PID will be an item, not a Ducklett / Swanna.

So I suggest breeding it! Or waiting for the next version of RNG Reporter (I heard that the next version will be able to tell which frames are Wings and which are Ducklett / Swanna, but I'm not sure if it's true).

Why would you want to search for one specific delay? :o

I usually just search in a range of 100. Like 600-700 or something. And I still find seeds :)

I'm don't need a specific PID frame yet so I guess that field isn't too important. For now, I'm just catching one to use as a parent but I thought it would be nice to RNG one for its own sake while I was at it. I know the items troll the snot out of you but if I did want to mess with the PID, I don't even know whether Swanna's shadow fits in the category of dust clouds, shaking grass, or water spots. Thanks for the advice. I think I'm just going to try my luck with a synch. :P

EDIT: You were right. Like ten seeds and 40 EV wings later, I still haven't encountered a Ducklett before my seed changed. Either something is different about it or I got really lucky with Excadrill.
 
Hi i dont know if this usually happens when finding a shiny egg seed using the shiny egg finder but whenever i put a seed into the rng reporter home screen it never says its shiny. I have the right ID SID. Any help ?
 
Hello I was wondering if there was any way to run rng reporter on ubuntu linux? the guide mentions that it can but I can't find any other information on how to get it to run properly.

I hit frame 96 because I didn't want it Shiny but the nature and ability were the same and so were the IVs passed down.

So I assumed I'd get the same IVs I would have on frame 94.

But the Pokemon I did hatch was 31,31,30,11,31,31.
I'm wondering where the 30 and the 11 came from.
 
I have, it doesn't seem to work for me

I believe you have to download mono framework for linux to run it on your computer. What you do is download mono framework (here is a link to their download page), and under Other, there is Debian and Ubuntu, so select which one you have and download the version and install it. Then you gotta execute mono and RNG reporter using terminal. I gotta warn you though, RNG reporter is likely not to run as well on Linux. Just a little warning. There might be interface glitches and such, but nothing too bad. :p

Thanks for trying to help me out with that=D somehow yest i managed to find a seed!! and then after tat i am not sure what problem i encounter..

At the timefinder, what is the min frame should i put?

And I am trying to catch a darmanitan in the relic castle. i am not sure if i generated properly but i found a seed which has 4 frame. so i understand i need to have 3 pokemon with me and walk 128 steps right? but what i am not sure is, will the sandstorm affect the frame? is there any other way that i will not have to move? thank you!!

If you're sure you got 96, then your male parent doesn't have 31 Def IV's.

I checked it and it's a flawless 31 ditto breeding with a female.

Am I right in thinking that the IVs that are passed down are determined by half the seed and the other 3 are determined by the other half of the seed?

Maybe it's a gltich somehwere or maybe I just got it wrong but was lucky enough to get the IVs I did.

Are you completely sure you hit 96?

Also, what are the IVs of the female? The 11 either came from your seed or from the female (If you hit a different frame). Half of the IVs come from your seed, the other half of the IVs are inherited from your parents.

So you might have hit a different frame than you thought you did. If you really did hit 96, Idk what happened. If your Ditto is Flawless, the Def IV should've been 31.

Did you make sure you checked the "Ditto Parent" box?

Thanks I finally got it working :D

After looking at the PID on Pokecheck it matches up with the PID on frame 97 which is the same as 96 but Defence comes from the female. So I guess I'm lucky that my random Drilbur had high Defence.

Interestingly it says Drilbur's special attack is 13 not 11. So Metal Kid must be wrong! Or probably just the numbers I put in.
