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

- Start date
I am using PPRNG for the first time and used parameter searcher. My results were timer0: C7B, VCount: 60, VFrame: 6.
In my configuration window it asks for a min and max. Am I just placing identical values for both min and max?

This is probably really nooby, but I'm trying to RNG a flawless (Barring SP. Attack) Elekid. I have a PBR electivire (for Ice Punch) and a Flawless Japanese Ditto. I'm just not sure how to go about breeding. If anyone can tell me how to do breed with a perfect Ditto, I would love some help. I new to RNGing, but I've RNGed some Stationary and wild pokemon before.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Use the shiny egg tab to search. Enter the wrong ID/SID if you want it non-shiny and of course use the right ID/SID if you want it shiny. Set min frame to 60 and max frame as high as you want (I use 200). In the shiny egg tab min/max frame is the PID frame. The IV frame is automatically set to 8 so you don't have to worry about it.
From there you should be able to follow Tesseraction's breeding guide or bearsfan's video (post 3). Just ignore the parts about searching and focus on the parts that explain the actual RNGing process.
Come back when you have a more specific question.
Uhm.. how possible is it for a DS parameter to come up negative?
I been trying to hatch a shiny Jolly Axew since yesterday but so far it hasn't been working. There's been a few times where it looks like I got the right IV spread/seed (Jolly, Proud of its power. If it ends up being a different characteristic I know I missed the seed completely). But usually when I check it's IVs they aren't the ones I was aiming for, although they tend to be very close.
Since this has been happening a lot, I started wondering today that maybe I got the wrong DS parameters and so every seed I get is wrong. I made the retarded mistake of catching a Patrat on Route 2 without even knowing yet the effect NPCs could have and how they might've tampered it. So I figured "well, let's just try this all over again", so I picked a time, went to Victory Road, and sweet scented a Durant like I should've done in the first place.
The weird part is.. the IV spread I got on the Durant is not showing up in the parameter search at all, even when I tried expanding the search to the entire hour I caught it in. And I even checked everything at least ten times over just to make sure things like my Mac Address was correct. Which it is. So why is this happening.
I should've either gotten the same result as the Patrat from yesterday or something different (which would just prove that my parameter was wrong to begin with). Getting nothing just makes no sense at all.

timer0
you either get the IVs or you don't
It's probably caused by the keypresses you are doing for your seed. Add 1 to your timer0 and search for new seeds.
Actually, you probably hit an adjacent frame due to inheritance. Scan through RNG Reporter's output to see which one you ended up hitting. It'll probably be like 4 frames ahead of what you think you hit.
It also helps to give us the seed :P

I don't recall pressing anything during the start up though. Unless it can happen after you load the save file (When getting an egg I normally start button mashing kinda early and before I get the seasons prompt. Not sure if that effects anything). It might be possible though.
Tried changing the timer0 just now and still nothing :|. I think I might just get another Durant later and see if the problem still persists or I did just mess something up that time. Probably once I get back from work.

I have an RNGreporter problem: I don't want my BW egg to be shiny, so I did what i used to do in the 4th GEN: changing the values of the ID and SID on the shiny egg tab to something completely different. But it still is returning shiny seeds to my ID and SID, and since I'm breeding a hidden power, IV ARE an issue. Help anyone?

Could always go to the non-egg finder. Search for a 2-3 Iv's that you are going to want, set it to gift method. Set the min/max frame to 8 and 8. Search for 2-3 Iv's that are most important, and leave the rest blank. It'll generate seeds with those 3 important Iv's, and you can search the various PIDs that will fill in the other 2 IV's.
Just means your parents need to have the correct IV's for the other to slots.
Since, Korean Eggs aren't working, that's how I have to do all my breeding.
I'm going for an HP fighting DW Espeon and while I got a 30-all male I could only find either 31-all females or HP-grass/Ice females so...
=/
I'll have to chain breed those IVs then. No dignified Jolteons or Espeons should have to suffer shininess.
Ok, so I went to the capture tab, set min/max frames to 8, locked hp=31, S.At = 30, Spd = 30 and it generated a list.
Now I copy the full seed, go to the main window, select breeding BW, paste the seed, and search for pids?
Pretty much :)
Just set the everstone nature, if there is one.
Since you're looking for DW, check the DW only. After that, just browse for PID's that fill in the IV's you want with the parent that has that IV. It takes a bunch more work sometimes, but that's the only way I know of. At least until OD comes out with the next RNG reporter.
Can't wait for that. And for a pokeRNG that will get all those seeds capture AND eggs at a 1/10000 of the time RNGreporter takes. And for a not-shiny egg checkbox.
Thanks for the help.
Maybe it's my english that is going downhill, but even with all those
Hey! I got how this works! Once you fix an IV frame'n'seed, the different PIDs will only define nature, ability, genere and overwrite the "original" IVs with the ones meant to be inherited leaving the other "original" ones intact.
Since the 30+ chatot flips are MUCH faster and waiting for RNGreporter's outputs on shiny, I just might give up the pretty pretty sparkles altogether.

I want my Espeons and Jolteons not-shiny, what I meant is that before going for those I was mostly using the shiny egg tab just because it was already there rather than me actually wanting everything in funny colors and glitter.
Now, if only shiny espeon was white-is or deep-darkish-vivid-emerald-green, and shiny jolteon scandalous electric blue (text marker blue)....

... It just occurred to me. I think I had my C-Gear turned on at least one of the times I did the parameter check. Which now made me think, is the C-Gear supposed to be on/off during the check?
As for the seed I'll have to get a new one since I kinda lost it now. I'm thinking about changing a parent anyway so that I can get some nicer shiny results (or yanno, just more to pick from), and I may just try a different Pokemon completely. Pseudo-legendaries take way too long to hatch when I still only have like half of the idea of what I'm doing. Even with Flame Body :|
Yeah that kinda went over my head a little XD;;. You mean the PID frame (the one Chatots are used for) or the other one?

You really should watch the videos/read the guides thoroughly and follow them as most guides explain the process step by step. The method is method 5 (standard seed) a.k.a. non c-gear method so you should never turn on the c-gear when doing anything associated with this method.
He means if you're thinking that RNG reporter's Calculated Initial PIDRNG Frame is your actual starting PID frame then you're wrong. RNG reporter can't account for NPC advancement. Your actual starting PID frame will usually be at least 4 higher than what RNG reporter predicts due to NPCs.
You should get in the habit of saving your seeds to reuse them. If you right click in the time finder, RNG reporter gives the option to export the seed info to a CSV (excel type) file. You can also copy/paste the seed info via Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V.
I was wondering why proud of its power was your expected characteristic. That's characteristic indicates crappy IVs. You should have a flawless Ditto before you start RNG breeding and you should be able to RNG one yourself before you jump into breeding. RNGing a wild Pokemon like Ditto should be easier than RNGing an egg.
Also like Kaphotics says, post more info like the parameters you're using so we can actual see if they are reasonable DS parameters or if you're using something that couldn't possibly be a DS parameter. The Seed and what you're getting when you attempt to hit the seed is helpful too.
The next version of PPRNG (whenever I get it done) will have this in it finally along with a number of other enhancements.
