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

I just downloaded E-On timer so I can try this instead of pikatimer this gen. Just wanted to know what value goes in the calibration field? As I was assuming there was no need for calibration this gen...?

Not that there's no need exactly, but it's done by trying to hit a seed instead of the old way. If you're on a DS/DSlite, use -95 to start. If you're on some form of DSi, use -45 to start.

Ok thanks, I'm on a DS Lite so I guess I keep the default setting for that. Found a seed I want that has a target frame 7 so I guess I need to take 4 pokémon in my party when I go to battle N/ catch Resh.

Just need to figure out which nature. Timid or Hasty. I'm assuming Reshiram isn't going to survive a decent Earthquake or Rockslide anyway even with higher defense and as I'm planning to use Nitro Charge I'm thinking Hasty is the way to go.

I found a seed that gives flawless everything except 28 in defense which I think should be fine for Hasty Reshiram. It has HP Dragon which is obviously not very good but I don't think Reshiram needs Hidden Power anyway, I plan to run Nitro Charge, Blue Fire, Draco Meteor and either Claw Sharpen or Outrage.

Yeah.. catch it and see what it's IVs are. Search for the delay you hit, then update the timer with that number. That's all there is to calibration in this gen. (or really for last gen, but no one wanted to do it that way)

For the record, that's how I did it =P

Just out of curiousity, with the way delays are this generation.... Is it common to miss by <10 delays all the time? Because I've been trying at Zekrom for hours now, and I'm always off by <10...

It would help if you posted info like IVs you were expecting, IVs you got, what seed, frame, time and delay you're going for, etc. Also the time you turn on the game and the time you start the C-Gear.

Which is one of the requirements when asking for help here.

I use -100/+100 because it shows the delay you're supposed to hit in the middle. I found that if you put -0/+200, you will see your delay, plus the next 200 other delays ahead of your delay. You won't see the delays behind your delay because you have -0. So if you put -100/+100, you'll see delays you hit before your delay, and same for the ones ahead.

I'm sorry, that was not a good question, indeed. Here's my situation now:

I'm about to capture a Timid Reshiram with 31/26/30/31/31/31 in a Master Ball. I've got 3 Pokémon in my party, so if I take 128 steps, my frame will advance by 3, which will lead me to the frame that this spread is on, that's frame 6.

I just did a test run, and I got a Timid Reshiram, but the IV's were wrong. I've put them into the RNG Reporter, and it showed me I was 84 delays too high, so I made an update in my Pikatimer.

The values I'm using in PikaTimer are:

Calibrated Delay: 1300 Wanted Delay: 3381 Calibrated Second: 24 Wanted Second: 0.
Date and time: March 15th, 2011 at 03:29:00
Seed: 3b75f4ef

After the test run, I made an update in my PikaTimer, and tried again. What I got is this:

Reshiram - #643 (Adamant): 17 / 9 / 20 - 21 / 6 / 13 / 19

I cannot find this IV spread in a +/- 200 delay range. What am I doing wrong?
I guess I listed all the info you guys need to help me out.

Aren't these delays?

I have a DSlite, so what do you mean by a -95 start? Does this need to be inputted somewhere when i use the pika timer?
 
Like the generation IV games, do you only hit even/odd delays depending on your year, and if so what can be done to rectify this? I ask because I've been consistently hitting +1/-1 of my delay for the past three tries now.

I always have a GBA game in, doesn't seem to help any. So it's stuck in an even and odd state. Fun, eh? xD!

Hitting your C-Gear seed:

Obtain your C-Gear seed from RNG Reporter. Press Seed to Time and find a time to hit for your C-Gear seed with your given MAC Address.
Start a two stage delay timer to hit your delay and time.
Start the game at the time that will give you the correct seconds\delay when the timer ends.
When the game asks you to turn on the C-Gear right at the Continue screen, do NOT say yes. Say no and proceed into the game.
Click the C-Gear power button. You will see a Yes\No prompt.
Click to expand...
By "Start" do you mean...
- Hitting the game icon at the DS Menu?
- Pressing Start at the title screen?
- Hitting continue at the game menu?

Does soft resetting also count as "(re)starting the game?"

Don't do any frame advancements until you have correctly calibrated. Just try to hit your seed, then immediately battle him and check his IVs. Once you get close to your seed, then you can do your frame advancements after attempting to hit your seed. This is so you can use the "Search IVs" function in Seed to Time. If you advance your frame, you won't be able to use that feature.

Also, PikaTimer is terrible for C-Gear abuse. ToastPlusOne has two timers with C-Gear support. I'd recommended using one of those.

Pikatimer doesn't have this direct option.

You're off by 225 - 275. These values give an overall calibration of 140. You need to be around -95. If you insist on using this old way, your calibrated delay should be ~1535.
 
OmegaDonut said:
No. C-Gear seeds only change the IVRNG. Non C-Gear seeds are what determine the value of the PIDRNG, but don't ask about those yet.

And you're supposed to be beta testing RNG Reporter, not playing with the programs RNG Reporter are replacing.
Click to expand...
The reason I'm not using it is because I seem to get more results with PIDRNG. Also I've been getting different XOR, so I'm using some different version of it. (2.0)

Thanks. I just want to Re-RNG abuse two Pokemon for nicknaming purposes.

1) You are getting more results because PIDRNG shows extra frames that don't exist at all for wild Pokemon.

2) You are supposed to be reporting your findings so you can make RNG Reporter better for everyone. If an XOR doesn't match up, report it in the research thread so we can figure out what's up with it! It's the reason Bond697 removed all of of his links to PIDRNG - it's outdated, and so that people can focus on improving RNG Reporter instead.

Tiny bit of help here.

Intended SEED: C28A88E
Date: 3/26/2011
Time: 18:57:59
Delay: 5554
Delay input into emloop: 5600 (1m 33.33 sec)
Time RSing game: 18:56:26.3

No advancement. Encountered Cobalion.

Should be on frame 3, yes?

IVs(at level 47): 12-13 / 27-28 / 13-14 / 1-2 / 18-19 / 30
Sadly, I have no more Rare Candies.

I couldn't find these IVs in -200, +400.

Do I need to know the exact IVs, or is there any hope for finding where I landed?

There's a slim, mind you, slim chance that I missed my intended second.

Any help would be appreciated.
