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

I have a problem, i cant find my parameters on my White retail cart, i have the correct mac adress, the correct iv's of the sweet scented poke i caught when i started my DS on the correct date/time but nothing comes up when i search, not even the initial seed.
 
rng egg abuse related question

when i'm looking for my target frame (main rng window) some natures are bolded while others aren't

i set my everstone nature to careful and i found a frame that says careful but it's not bolded like the other careful frames. does this mean i can't aim for this frame?

No, you can still aim for that frame. The fact that it's not bolded means it will be Careful nature even without the everstone. The bolded ones are just the ones that need an everstone to be Careful.

It means that the egg will always have a Careful nature regardless of everstone use.

Hello Smogon-community,

I am new on this forum and totally new to competitive play AND RNG'ing :$. So I wanted to try it out, it looks complicated but I think I can do it. So I have a DSi and thus can't use the non C-gear abuse, I watched the tutorial of bearsfan092 (youtube) so I have:

RNGReporter 9.81 (BETA)
EonTimer
20 Sychronizers :P

What did I do:
I started up RNGReporter and pressed Time Finder. So, I wanted to follow the video so to make it easy I too am going to try to capture Virizion. The IV's that I am aiming for:

HP: 31
Attack: Even
Defence: 30
Sp. Atk: 31
Sp. Def: 31
Speed: 31

Min Frame/Max Frame : 1/23
Min Delay/ Max Delay: 1800/9999
Method: Method 5 (C Gear Seed)
Encounter type: Stationary

So I found three seeds with the frames, 1, 19 and 5. I know that I can't use the seed with frame 1 because with this method you start at frame 3, so I choose the seed with frame 19, this way I could have more poke's on my party (4) then 2 if I choose the seed with frame 5, one Poké most be the synchronizer.

Okay I think I have that right? So I have to hit my target seed and the second timer and then walk 128*4 steps= 16 frames (19-3=16). Now I right-click on my seed and choose: Generate more times. Okay I fill in the last 6 digits of my MAC-Adress (DSi) which are: DA-36-DF I click on generate and an error says: This seed is invalid, please make sure blablabla.

Hmm that's odd. so I erase my MAC-Adress and try it without using it. So now he DOES generate the times. Okay, so maybe I had to fill in my whole MAC-Adress? So I try to do that: 00-25-A0(zero.. yeah)-DA-36-DF. The same error occurs. So what does this mean? Should I just use the generated times with the MAC-Adress field left blanco? I hope my post is clear enough :)

Cant help but heres the post.

Your issue is caused by RNG reporter thinking that you need an hour that's higher than what is possible for that seed. Did you forget to put your MAC Address into the parameters tab when you were searching for the seed?

No need to be afraid of asking things. If your question was towards the end of the previous page, as it was, go ahead and quote it onto the new page. Just don't go overboard. If no one knows the answer on the new page, you're likely not going to get one.
 
hi, i don't know if i'm allowed to ask for this here but does anyone have a seed for hp ice 70?
31 30 30 31 31 31

i'm doing egg abuse in 5th gen

3 keypresses is fine
my timero is c78

if you need more info please let me know.

Okay thanks :D it now generates the times and shows my MAC-Adress but he shows it like this: 25-A0-DA-36-DF, and it actually is: 00-25-etc. Also I couldn't click the option DSi/3DS (I have a DSi) I don't know if this all matters? But thanks again.

Edit: I read somewhere (think youtube) that the newest versions of RNGReporter says frame 1 but that it's actually frame 3 (because of C-gear) is this correct?

The way it's handled internally, it doesn't matter if its the whole thing or the last 6 digits. It grabs what it needs either way. Game system type doesn't matter for cgear RNG either. As for the third question, I believe that is correct, but confirmation from someone else would be good.

Someone would also need to know your remaining parameters, parent ivs, etc. To search for a seed for you. This isn't like 4th Gen where a single seed could be used across everyone's game. It's fairly unique to you. Is there some reason you can't do it yourself?
 
Okay I have a problem to find my shiny.

I've input everything needed in DS Parameters, with a sweet scented pokémon IVs I checked using Pokécheck, lauching the game at exactly 10:25:00, so I found my... initial seed ? Which is A32AF27B8D776496.

Then I click on "Use result in Time Finder", so the Time Finder window appears. Since I'm looking for a wild shiny pokémon in grass with sweet scent, I use Method 5 PIDRNG, without any IV, nature or ability restrictions. I choose a min frame of 50 and a max of 80 (starting frames are always around 4x).

I have a lot of results when I click on generate, then I choose one which looks good, and input the corresponding time in my DS Lite so I can start the game at the exact time (for example 11:45:21) by pressing A on the menu.
Then I use the written in red formula in the main post of the thread : "Target – Initial – Starting + 1 = Advances Required"

Now if I'm right : my initial frame is 1 because it's regular generation; my target frame in this example is 55, as written on RNG Reporter for this corresponding PID; and my starting frame is 50, since it changes it automatically when I click on "calculate initial PIDRNG frame" on the main window, according to this seed.

So when I use the formula, it becomes : 55 - 1 - 50+1 = 54 - 51 = 3.

Then I start playing (I already saved in the grass area of the forest of illusions), I check Chattot's status screen 3 times (with a recorded voice) to advance by 3 frames, then ue sweet scent. And no shiny.

What am I doing wrong please ? :)

Just so people can see it better without having to go to the previous page =p

well i tried all day yesterday looking for one in the month of october but i didn't find a single one

well here are the rest of my parameters. maybe you guys know an easier way to find seeds

I didn't really read through much so you may have more than 1 problem but the one that stands out to me is that you didn't follow order of operations. 55 - 1 - 50 + 1 = 5
 
Simple maths owned me :evan:
But it seems it isn't really the problem, since I've done many other tries before that one, and with a right number of frame advance (I didn't used the formula but did, for example, 5 frames advance when the target frame was 55 and my starting 50 so it was right anyway).

I'll try it again with a different initial seed, but if someone can help me with what I explained in my long post, that would be awesome :)
 
I have a question about shiny roamers (yes, yet again ._.). I got a seed in which after a set amount of chatters I get the same Timid, Mischievous HP Ice Thundurus. If I were to catch that, run it through Pokécheck and write down the PID, will I be able to deduct which frame I hit that way so I can RNG an ID to make that specific frame shiny?

You should be able to, yes. You may want to check the research thread. Either Bond or Kaphotics did exactly that at one point. That should give you a good starting place.

Definitely, that is how I was able to catch my roamers.
 
What season is recommended for Roamer RNG? I heard that a certain weather condition was preferred (I think it was snow, Idk).

Thanks. :]

10:25:00 is a bit suspicious (but not necessarily wrong). You waited an entire minute for the seconds hand to hit 0?

I use Method 5 PIDRNG, without any IV, nature or ability restrictions.
You use method 5 PIDRNG in the time finder? Don't do that. Use Method 5 (Standard Seed) in the time finder and select search for nearby shiny frames if you want a shiny. Method 5 PIDRNG should only be used in the main window.

I have a lot of results when I click on generate, then I choose one which looks good, and input the corresponding time in my DS Lite so I can start the game at the exact time (for example 11:45:21)
Most people need to press A 1 second early to hit their seed so if your seed says 11:45:21 you should probably be pressing A at 11:45:20.

Summer is best (no weather before your roamer arrives).
 
Seed: 4D6643B431A80AE1
Target shiny: 517
I start at 481, after 27 chatters, I caught this Timid Mischievous Thundurus http://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=504804
After converting the decimal PID (2175166846) from the Pokécheck information back to hexadecimal (81a6697e) I deducted that I hit frame 516. Since I have no possibility of hitting 517, I've decided I would RNG an ID/SID to make frame 516 shiny. Now, I've RNG'ed IDs before, but never for a roamer. Can someone help me out? Since we can't enter PIDs to make shiny yet, I need to know what number I need to enter in Pandora's Box.

Yes I noticed this too. The seed I'm trying to hit is on 16:08:59 and I kept hitting seeds on 16:09:01. After some thinking I just adjusted the seconds on my Eontimer, normally you would put in 59 seconds but since I am 2 seconds late everytime I put in 57 seconds, after that I hit the right time everytime. Now the only thing left to do is calibrate :)
