Okay, I'm trying to do my first RNG using PPRNG, getting a good IV'd Kyurem since it is a pretty cool pokemon, and I've gotten all the way up to the point of finding the right seed, with the date and time to find the best Kyurem, but I'm a little confused about the frame concept. I understand the ways to advance it, but say, there is one Kyurem seed with a frame of 1, would I just enter the game and capture it, or is there anything special that I have to do too? Sorry for being a noob, but the videos I watched explaining everything didn't really help when it came to the frame ideas.

With a frame 1, you just catch it. I had a frame 1 on my Terrakion, but now im having trouble with Virizion.

Hex?

Convert what? I have no idea what number you are talking about.

Excuse my noobishness.

Also, what is like the general area of the initial frame when RNGing Roamers? 600-800? 1000-1500?

Can't I just do a chain starting with Hasty and advance the frame by one, then find that chain in the Seed Inspector?

Edit: Using PPRNG, if that changes anything.

I don't know anything about the layout of PPRNG but in RNG reporter the PID are given in hexadecimal (digits are 0-F). I'm telling you to convert that hexadecimal number to decimal. You can probably use the calculator on your computer though you might have to set it to programmer or something like that.
I don't know what's a good place to start but if you're in snow you might want to look at 300+ (you really shouldn't do it in rain).
Advancing in increments of 1 will not always work with the roamers. Like i said, some frames are "skipped." There's just some frames you can't hit because of the weather/NPCs. Your best bet is to use the %6 method and find maybe 1-3 PIDs that fit then test them by advancing maybe 10 frames.
For example if you find a hasty PID that fits your characteristic in the 300s, 400s and 500s you could check to see which one is correct by advancing 10 frames.

oh. First, how did you get those numbers? Thats whats confusing to me. Second, what else advances the MTIVRNG?

Walking 128 steps with X number of Pokemon in your party advances the IVRNG by X. So you're aiming for frame 19 which means you need to advance 18 frames. You can do this with 1, 2, 3 or 6 Pokemon in your party. If you do it with 6 Pokemon in your party you need to walk 128 steps 3 times (3*6=18). So 128*3=384 steps. You're probably better off aiming for another seed though because using 1, 2 or 3 Pokemon is going to take a lot of steps and checking to see if you hit your seed might get annoying if you have 6 Pokemon in your party.

This makes more sense, thanks. I did look for another seed.
 
Trying to RNG a shiny Deino right now, and I need to know something:

Will my starting PID frame ALWAYS be between 50-56 or can it be like 48 or 49 too?

PPRNG shows you the characteristic for a given range of PID frames and a specific IV frame in the Adjacents tab of the Seed Inspector. For breeding, it shows it in the Eggs tab. You shouldn't need to do any mod 6 calculations yourself, though it may be wrong if you don't know your SID. In that case, you can change your SID between 0 and 1 (i.e. odd and even) to see which matches up with what you've caught.
 
Hello again, thanks for the help so far. I was catching a male Boldore for its Stealth Rock egg move, and using PIDRNG to predict encounter slots. I am in Twist Mountain, the room right next to Icirrus City. I got all the IV's I was looking for, but the PIDRNG frame I hit was WAY overshot. (Starting frame was 48, shooting for 73, got I'm guessing 95 since the RNG reporter predicted a Jolly nature and I got Calm). I'm using Chatots (2 of them) to advance the frame.

It's taken me a while to catch this particular pokemon. I know I hit the seed. What happened, so I don't have to spend so much time catching a stupid rock?

EDIT: One more question: Which encounter slot do I use for a Swarm Pokemon? I want a good Pineco, and it's only in Black as a Swarm on Route 16. Is there a way to predict which day has a certain Route swarmed?
 
You didn't move around before advancing, right? Are there any NPCs in that room? They may have contributed to some of the extra advances, although I really doubt they could've done that many.
What seed are you using? Positive that that's the closest Calm nature? If so, I don't see how you could've been that far off, other than really bad math.

They take ESV 0. I don't think you can predict what Pokemon will appear.
 
Hey do you guys know that if when your breeding two genderless pokemon, in this case ditto and porygon, what one would become the female and what one would be the male in regards to iv inheritance?

Ah, so PPRNG does all the work for you. Would be nice to have the characteristics in RNG reporter though it's not that hard to figure out.

The male is the non-Ditto parent which in your case is Porygon.
 
Sorry Kaph. I'm sure I've read that like a thousand times before I must have forgotten or just not read it close enough...

150th SR done and still counting! I hit 1-5 delay range and can't get any closer. Not just that but there's also 1/25 chance to get the nature you want. xD Target second is a bit unstabile too. Maybe I'm using too low HL Calib (now 326).

I wonder why I'm still trying. Now I understand ppl who used emulator to do this. :(

Anyway, Good luck!

w0w Hopefully I get lucky O_O

Don't give in to the emulators! xD

Best of luck with that. I've done it on my DS and it was frustrating as hell. Naturewise especially.

Thanks. What nature did you get?

It's o.k. to search with keypresses when searching for a seed c-gear method, right?

There's no keypress in C-Gear, so you won't find different results. I had to go through 27 failures to get the Timid nature I wanted. I missed my seed about 500+ times, I think.

'k, thanks for letting me know.

OMG I hope I don't have to go through that many times `O.o How many years did you have to search?
