I'm having some difficulties with Method 2... I'm following the instructions to the letter, get every single time I go to Victory Road to verify the seed, it turns out I didn't hit it. It is *never* a pokemon on frame 14-20. Am I doing something wrong?
EDIT: For instance, it's been 9 times on a C7B frame, and 17 on a C7C frame, so it's probably not failing to hit the right seed.
What are you trying to hit, and what are you getting instead?
You can right-click on the seed in time finder, and check "generate adjacent seeds" and look at their IV frames 14-20 and see if you're missing your seed.
