In an ideal world, this would be possible. However, the RNG in B/W is totally different than HGSS. Also, the delay you'd hit in HGSS would vary from cartridge to cartridge, so... Unfortunately this doesn't work.

Basically, you can't. It's technically possible, but you basically have to do it the first time.
Nobody's ever tried this. If you think it might be useful, try it out for yourself and let us know.
So if it's already roaming you can't just kill it and start from the beginning? So say I did kill it and beat the E4, wouldn't it spawn again in the same spot?
It will, but the IVs are generated right at the end of the champion battle, and the RNG is advancing constantly during the battle, so it'd be pretty much impossible to do.
I see. Well that sucks. Wish I knew this before instead of going to Route 7 like an idiot.
What counts as a step? Does changing directions count as a step?
I know it will support everything you say(legends, eggs), just not the roamers, I remember seeing we can not get shiny and flawless roamers, i do not know exactly why though
Right. NPCs only effect the PID RNG (I'm pretty sure, somebody correct me if I'm wrong).
@IcyFlame: Changing direction doesn't count as a step. So if you want to advance the IV RNG by walking 128 steps, you need to walk, not change direction. But (I think) if you change direction where wild pokemon are found (Like grass) then you advance the PID RNG frame. That shouldn't matter if you're RNGing for IVs, though.
Ok thanks a lot for the insight.
Does having the DS plugged in affect delay at all? I started charging it, and now I can't seem to hit the seed anymore.
I don't think so. I was charging my DS last night while RNGing Victini and I hit my seed.
There's something wrong here. I keep getting "No IV Match Found" even though i search through a delay list +-9999. I'm using an AR but I'm compensating for my delay being inherently off by restarting the game 2 seconds before the first timer. I've calibrated a few times and I've always managed to find my delays but now i can't. I'm hitting "Yes" at the right time (C-Gear in game).
First of all, don't compensate for that. It should be compensated automatically during the calibration process. Either way, though, that shouldn't be throwing off your delay that much.
Have you changed anything since you were able to hit the delay?
Like Princess of johto said, no. Coincidentally, I was doing the same thing.
The problem is in bold. When you're using an AR, the first timer is when you should press A on the AR menu to enter the game with the codes loaded, not when you SR. So, you synchronize your Timer and DS clock, turn the DS off, put the AR into the DS, select the codes you want, and when the first timer ends, exit the AR and enter the game (On an AR DSi, it would say "Boot the game with these codes?" or something similar, and you would press "Yes" when the first time ends). Then you press "Yes" in-game to turn on the C-Gear when the second timer ends. I hope that made sense :o
Edit: Also, like Voodoo said, don't compensate for that. I just follow my timer and I can hit my seeds fine. Calibrating should fix that problem if it's there. Also, try setting the +/- seconds to 9.
Thanks both of you. I'll try it again tomorrow.
Next you pick one of the results that appeared (Something with a frame that's at least 3 or higher) and right click it. Then pick "Generate more times". Now you have to begin Calibrating. That's explained on the first post of this thread.
Ok, good luck :]
Ok, so I successfully managed to get a Cobalion with the desired IVs, by choosing a spread on frame 3, thus not requiring any advances.
To do the same with roamers I need one on frame 4: 4-3-2+1=0.
I saved inside the house on route 7, stepped outside to generate the roamer (Thundurus), and caught it. Calculated the IVs and found that I hit the right seed, and the IVs of the Thundurus I caught started on frame 4, my target, but the IVs were wrong; had I hit frame 5 it would have been correct.
The IVs listed in the adjacent finder for my target seed are such:
16, 12, 17,16, 29, 31, 29, 29, 31, 31
The roamer I caught on frame 4:
16/29/31/31/29/29
Contrary to the Time Finder's report, the IVs I wanted really started on frame 5, not 4. Is this a fluke or am I missing something? Do roamer spreads actually appear 1 frame later than the Time Finder reports?
I rechecked and confirmed I entered the correct MAC address, roamer box checked, and that the desired seed was supposed to be on frame 4, and when searching adjacents I make sure to move the IVs into the appropriate positions (or else no matches would be found).

That's standard seed related.
OD and his terminology, standard seed = noncgear
