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

Like PoJ said, it doesn't count unless you're actually in the grass. However, if there is grass or water in the area it will still advance a couple frames every 20 steps when the RNG checks for shaking patches, so your starting frame will still be shifted slightly.

Speaking of shaking patches, how would one go about RNG abusing a pokemon like Emolga? Is the pokemon generated as soon as the grass shakes? So that after I see a patch shake, it will always be the same nature/IVs no matter how many frames I advance?

The Pokémon is generated when you walk into the patch. Here's what I did to RNG an Emolga; note that there are probably other ways and this requires using Chatot pitches.

1. Find a seed with an IV frame above 1. Your target PID frame should be 100+ (350+ if you're doing it in a cave or anywhere else where you have to do all your steps in an area with wild Pokémon).
2. Walk until the shaking patch shows up. If it doesn't appear within 128 steps, then save so the step counter changes and try again.
3. Once it shows up, finish your 128 steps, and do it so that your last step is one space away from the patch.
4. Use Chatot pitches to find your current frame, advance to one frame before your target, then walk into the patch.

Interesting, I will try that out thanks!
 
New to RNG Abuse, sorry if I'm asking a stupid question, but is it normal for Timer0 to be the same for both the minimum and maximum values? I've searched for my DS's Parameters many times and I keep arriving at C7D as both the Min and Max value, wondering if this is normal lol.
 
I probably need a better explanation on how to calibrate my DS for Entralink RNG'ing. It seems vague and confusing.

Starting from the beginning, looking to set up a delay so I can start Entralink RNG'ing.

Did you read Sephirona's guide to Entralink RNG? It's on the first page of the thread.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "calibrate my DS". All you need for Entralink RNG is your MAC address. You only need your parameters if you want to do Entralink PID abuse, but I wouldn't recommend you try that unless you've been successful with normal Entralink RNG.

If you're talking about your Calibrated Delay, it's pretty much the same thing as 4th gen. Just attempt to hit your seed using Eon Timer's default calibrated delay, and then update the timer with the delay you hit.

Then you say "looking to set up a delay" and I'm not sure what you mean by that. Are you asking how to find a seed? All you do is go to the time finder, and make the search method Method 5 (C-Gear Seed). Enter your target IVs, min/max delay and frame, and then start searching.

I'm talking more setting up how to test seeds/make sure the delay works/setting up EonTimer, etc. I've RNG'ed over 20 legends in HG/SS, but still unsure on the setup process for the 5th Gen.

Probably a big question: Does the second button press come when you first set the Entralink, or after you press A after the display message?

I already have my seed, and probably need more information to test which delays I hit.

Oh, I understand now.

Well, start by saving in an area where you can warp to the Entralink. Enter your target delay and second in Eon Timer. Setting up your time/date on your DS is basically the same as fourth gen. Find a date/time to hit in the Seed to Time window. Start your timer and set your DS clock at the same time. At the end of the first timer, press A to enter the game from the DS menu/soft reset. While the second timer is running, get into the game but don't turn on the C-Gear when it asks you to. Once you're in the game, turn the C-Gear on and press the Wireless button, and then the Entralink button. Wait at the message "_____ warped to the Entralink!" Once your second timer ends, press A.

That's basically it. Then you go into the forest and catch your Pokemon. Check the IVs and use those find the delay/time you hit in the Seed to Time window. Then update Eon Timer with the delay you hit. If you missed your target seconds, don't worry. Use this formula to adjust the EL Calibration value:

Code:
([Second Hit - Target Second]* 60) + EL Calibration value

Once you get consistent enough (as in, you hit delays +/-10 from your target), you can use the Pokemon's characteristic/stats to find the delay you hit instead of constantly checking for the exact IVs.
 
hi im having trouble trying to hit the right frame for the shiny breeding method. I think ive got flawless breeding down im just having trouble using rng reporter 9.95 since it looks so much different from the other versions. I understand how to find a seed and frame i just dont understand what im supposed to do when i copy the seed to the clipboard and move to the other part of the rng reporter. Sorry if this doesnt follow question format but i just want to figure out how to rng my own pokemon. thankyou anyone who can point me in some direction of help.

I think you.mean the pidrng, well you should copy the seed on the main window, change method 1 to breeding bw then hit calculate initial pidrng. Oh and you could send a screenshot for details on your problem.
 
yes the pidrng thats what i meant and i dont know if my problem is the pidrng although i cant seem to get that right even though I do the right amount of chatot flips i think my problem is that my id/sid may not be right and thank you ill try to get a screen shot

well i recommend you first do 1 chatot chatter then find your pidrng frame from the list generated by rng reporter (preferably from pidrng frames 50-60) then what you do is that you take (target pidrng frame-SSF (the frame after you did chatot chatter and hatched your egg))+1. +1 since you did 1 chatot chatter to verify. You should also bear in mind that you can check if you hit your seed or not. What you do is after you advanced with chatter, and collected the egg, you go to victory road and catch a wild pokemon input its ivs in the pokedex iv checker, from there you change breeding bw to GEN V IVs (standard seed) then you change the starting frame to 14. Look for the ivs of your caught pokemon in the list generated from frames 14-20, if it matches you hit your seed. If it doesn't you repeat from the start and try to hit your seed again.

Did you account for the moving NPCs? There are NPCs on Route 3, so they could slightly mess up your frame. If you generated the PID frames in the main window, try to find out what frame you're hitting and adjust your Chatot flips. To generate PID frames, change the method to Breeding BW (international if you have an international parent), paste your seed in the right place, and click the "Calculate initial PID RNG frame" button. Then make sure your ID/SID are correct and check the Ditto Parent box if you're using Ditto. Then hit generate.

Alternatively, you could try listening to the Chatot pitches to determine what frame you're on after pressing pause and then advance to your target frame. If you can't tell the differences between pitch like me, though, then I don't recommend this.

Edit: Kind of ninja'd :p

Edit 2: You use the time finder to look for seeds, and use the main window to generate PID frames for the seed you found in the time finder.
 
ok and yeah no ear for pitch and well thats one of the problems is my id/sid i didn't find them through an ar i found them with some sort of method that was on here and i have no clue if i did it right because it only listed something about the methods being for gen 4 and legends

and yes the pidrng thankyou mackenzie, and princess

try uploading your pokemon Here, you can verify your id/sid accurately.

edit: np, don't forget to thank poj too.

Try using pokecheck.org to find your SID if you have wifi connection. Follow the onsite instructions to upload a Pokemon with your ID, and the website will tell you the SID and other info for that Pokemon. If you don't have wifi connection, try finding someone who can find it for you.

and yes the pidrng thankyou mackenzie

As mentioned before you can only use that method in gen 4 as in bw the ivs are not tied to the pid frame {captures}

Edit: ninjas
 
Entralink seems to be set reasonably well.

Now just a matter of getting all the RNG steps to work right and getting on the delay.

Thanks POJ.
