Ok but thats just the starting frame? I mean, what about the monster frame of RNGing wild or pokeradar pokemon? They are generated by method J right; so If I encounter one it would advance the frame by 1 or not?

Zahir: Don't overthink it, lol. 176 target frame gives: 176 - roamers - sweet scent (2 in grass/cave usually) = number of advancements. Winters has been doing this forevers so you can trust him :P And Method J for wild captures in DPPt is correct :)
Triggz: As long as the page has capture/defeated [insert pokemon] on it then it would be fine. He probably meant that any page without capture/defeated will NOT advance your frame :)
Good luck guys!!! :)

Alright cool hope your right i would hate to do like 500 journal flips only to find out half of em didnt count :nerd:
As long as you are saved directly in front of Tina, yes that will be how you advance. If you are entering distortion world, running around, and then encountering him. You are going to have crazy advancements.
Edit: Pardon. I was being dumb. Wrong Tina. Each time the Distortion is loaded, including the load from a save file, 11 frames are advanced. So the equation is going to be. 71-11-1 = 59/2 = 29.5 = 29 flips + 128 steps with 1 Pokemon in your party. Unless if there is wild Pokemon where he is. Than it's just turning/moving once.
aw thats just craptastic i have 6 pokemon in my party is there no other way other than walking?
im saved right in front of tina.. there are no wild pokemon in distortion world im pretty sure of that
edit: i found a couple other frames for the same iv spread 85,87,91,93,95 i wonder if any of those will let me just do the journal flips..
/goes to do maths
edit: nope and the ones above 100 are all odd too so im guessing those wont work either
No, no other way other than walking.
You're going to need to exit and have an odd numbered Pokemon otherwise you won't be able to hit it. When abusing in Platinum, ALWAYS have an odd numbered amount of Pokemon, as it just makes it easier. Usually I run with, a Synch, a Flier, and a Sweet scent, no matter if the abuse requires any of it.
Simple math rule: When an even number is subtracted from an odd number. It's always going to be odd. Same for adding. Such as 85-12 = 73. 3+2=5. Etc.
found a different seed with ivs on frame 150... if my maths is right 69 journal flips should do it right?
150-12 (just combining Distortion frame + monster) = 138/2 = 69. So yes 69 flips and the IV's + nature will be of frame 150.
:D! Good luck!
Could just switch the year, or add a 3rd gen game pack to the bottom (for DS phat / Lite's).
I really can't get the RNG reporter to work in our comp, so I used the laptop... Anyway, I tried tons of times, yet I can't get a shiny. After I used the SID calcu. in the reporter, I was given this SID:56968
When I've tried the previous SID in my shcool comp, it worked... I got some shinies... So which one's correct?
Finally caught one man that took forever but i seem to have the one 3 frames above my target... i know i made 69 flips but maybe 11 isnt the number of frames distortion world advances it?
edit:yeah i dont think 11 is the right number cause i did it again flipped 70 pages seeing that frame 154 had the iv spread too and i hit it. Doesnt matter though at least im out of that damn place.

Thanks a lot guys. After alot of time chasing the seed, I've finally caught my flawless timid gible (31/31/31/31/31/31) although I don't like the fact that it's a female. :p Nevertheless, I love this; I'm getting better at RNGing. :)
Now question about RNGing pokeradar pokemon: Is it 100% necessary to fight the first pokemon that appears in the shaking/sparking patch like it says here? Or is this just for those pokemon having higher frame? Because I want to abuse flawless timid ditto using the same seed as for my gible but slightly different frame (83 instead of 87). Thanks in advance and for all your previous help.

Ok so now im going for the trio, still no roamers and found a flawless frame that only makes me do 35 journal flips. When you load the game from the menu and you see the little entry about what you did last time, if there is a caught pokemon on that page does it advance the frame one?
Why don't you save the date and time on your ds first, then go into the game and save once. That way when you reset for your target time and delay, the journal won't show up and you don't have to worry about the frames.
oh cool didnt know you could do that thanks ill try er out
Let me know how it goes and best of luck. :)
worked out great 31's across the board timid azlef
If I remember right, when the date rolls over it reseeds as well.
