well with the responses you get from elm
Just scroll down the list everytime you call him :)
Err, in the RNG reporter lol
Catching shinies is exactly the same as catching Pokémon with high IVs. There just happen to be a strange relationship between your ID, SID, and their PID. And moving the radio down to the bottom right until you see text will advance the frame by 1, so long as Buena's Password isn't playing, no matter how long the text is there.
If you're not very sure of how well you can count your frame advancements, I'd confirm your seed, then advance with the radio until you're around 5-10 away, and then call Elm for the rest of the advances to make sure the Elm calls correspond.
Best way I've found for keeping track of frame advancements is to have a calculator out, do 10 frame advancements, add 10 to the calculator, then repeat. That way you're never counting more than 10 at a time, and you don't have to worry about messing up your count. It also works if you're incredibly sleep deprived.
Well after finding my initial seed, I match the target delay with mine, I even change the years. I manage to get it right twice but the RNG advance was messed up somehow. But ever since then I can't hit the right seed. And how would comparing the coin flips help?
Yeah! That seems like a great way, thanks. So, does calling Youngster Joey advance the frame by 2? Because I call Youngster Joey when I'm RNGing for a shiny egg and need to get to a certain frame (Like, from 1 to 3), so I was wondering if that would also work for CPs.
some help please ????
well if you start in frame 10, work from there.
Choose a spread and time in umm idk, frame 16,17?
A few questions:
1. Is there any easy way to get parents with good IVs for breeding? I'm trying to breed a Snorlax with a Slowpoke (for Curse) but the thing is they have pretty crappy IVs (only one flawless IV in a stat I want). I wouldn't mind breeding for more but it's such a pain to check for IVs, especially at such a low level. I do have access to WiFi but only have one DS with me
2. Are there any OU Pokemon that don't need egg moves and are easy to RNG? I'm kind of fed up with breeding at the moment. I RNG'd Bill's Eevee and prefer that method so much more, but so many OU Pokemon have egg moves that are vital to their movesets :/

well, you could try using a ditto after you get a Male snorlax with curse :)
But yes, good parents save you a lot of headaches :)
For the different spreads already shown in the Emerald RNG guide, that show their frames, could I just pick up the pokemon I want by that spread when the frame hits that number, no SID or anything required? (for method 1)
Don't bother using the helper. Also, from the looks of it, you don't have Mono installed completely.
I'd reinstall it, and this time instead of using the helper program, just open up Terminal and type "mono " then drag the RNG reporter program into Terminal. That's how I open it.
The SID is only ever needed for shinies. The SID has no influence on IVs whatsoever. And yeah, that's exactly how you do it. Except the IVs are set after you hit A when the Daycare Man says "Take good care of it." so you should be waiting at that screen with your timer going.
mac.
Well, I'm fairly certain the helper program (what you downloaded) is just a Terminal command. Make sure you have Mono and follow the directions and it'll work just fine.
And quick question - Manaphy is generated via Method 1, right? If so, would it be possible to RNG abuse it on a gamecart to match one of the shiny spreads of another gamecart, then trade it over and hatch it shiny?
Correct on both accounts.
Okay, so I should just set my timer for 6 minutes and .013 seconds (that has the frame I want) and interact with the legendary I want (in my case Registeel) when that time has been reached? and that'll give me the spread I want?
On a seed where the desired spread appears multiple times(ex: Frame 32, 34, 36, ect), will they all yield the same wild Pokemon? Like, say if I'm headbutting trees, and I get the wanted IV spread, but the Pokemon is a Hoothoot rather than Pineco, will all of those spreads always yield Hoothoots? I know the Nature, Gender, and IVs are always the same for all the frames sharing the same spread, but do they also share the same Pokemon?
yes i follwed the instructions downloaded everything an it gave me the message i posted before
