Have you not been reading anything. Part of RNG abuse is getting flawless IVs.
This is really weird. I never not odd numbers, but now i get them quite frequently. I'll see if its normal tommorow, or try with a different date. I still find it strange. I also feel quite bad that i can't even do is right if the frame is already good. the frame is 2, and i have one runner out, so i shouldn't have to do another thing.
I hope it will work tommorow.

You should read the OP again a bit, heh. o 3o
The Initial Seed has almost nothing to do with the IVs of the egg unless you're just catching a Magikarp to determine your delay. In that case, you'd of course need to determine the Magikarp's IVs, but you're not going to be psychic and pull out your future egg's IVs out of the air.
The process of making the egg shiny+nature+gender and the process of generating its IVs are separate.
Your delays look okay though it might be better for them to be even closer, but your seconds should be the same. It'll be really hard for you to hit what you want if your seconds aren't the same. :<
The seconds represent the time it takes from when you first soft reset/start the game to exactly when you press the A button at continue. You need to mash A consistently. Normally it should be 14-15 seconds.
I don't think everyone realizes they need to reset at :00 of the new minute, sharp, either. *__*;
Yea...when the clock hits :00, do we hit Continue?
Is it better to turn off the game and then hit the game @:00?
Or
When it's :01?

The IVs are defined AFTER the egg is taken from the hands of the old pimp... I mean, old man of the daycare.
The Shinyness is defined when the egg is generated. It's two really different things, there's no reason to want to mix those up before the taps. You have to select your shiny/nature/gender spread, do the taps, put the parents, walk until the old man is looking to the right, save, and get the egg.
After you confirm that it's indeed the one you wanted, you proceed to SR for IVs.
And the seconds do not represent the time it takes from soft reset to Continue, the seconds are simply the exact seconds that are on the DS clock WHEN you press 'A' on the continue screen. Please, do not confuse this, as those two are very different things. If you understand it, you are able to reach any second you want, even for the legends SR!

Ohoho, learn a new thing everyday *_*
I'd been abusing successfuly for egg IVs only, but now I see the light~
....
Oh....
Okay, I had been going about it the same way I did with egg IVs--using only one delay value. xP Gah...thanks.
I suppose I should take this opportunity to note that on RNG Reporter 5.00, I can't seem to find how to specify Shiny spreads on the Time Finder. *_* But I know that I saw it before... Dx
Edit: Yeah, I found it on 4.60. Erm...is it supposed to be like that?
The time finder window can be resized, so make it a little bigger and you should see it. I had to move some things around to accommodate the new ability search.
Ok I did some calibrating and found that out of my 35 SR's that 22 of them were getting 14 seconds for the initial seed. My question is what would be my delay range out of these:
616-1
618-2
622-7
623-1
624-5
626-3
627-1
628-3
630-3
632-1
639-1
648-1
692-1
The numbers next to the 600 numbers are how many times I'd gotten that delay number.
616-1
618-2
622-7
623-1
624-5
626-3
627-1
628-3
630-3
632-1
639-1
648-1
692-1
The numbers next to the 600 numbers are how many times I'd gotten that delay number.
The last high ones are outliers, I would use 620-630 just like me.
Ok thanks, I have another question, in order to get those flawless IVs, do your pokemon in the daycare have to have good ivs already or can they just have any old iv numbers and you'll still be able to get that flawless spread you seek. It says in the OP that your parents have to have as many of the target IVs as possible but, it doesn't really say that it's necessary.
If you generate some spreads with your Time Finder, you'll see spreads come up that look like " 31/A/B/31/31/B ". The A stands for the first parent you put into the DayCare, and the B stands for the second parent. So ideally you'd want good parents for whichever stat you're trying to breed in, but perfectly flawless parents aren't necessary.
In the above spread I mentioned, for example, your parents don't need a 31 in HP, Sp Atk, or Sp Defense, because your target spread gives them to you.
If you can find a spread that has all A's or all B's, or two A's and a B in a stat that's not important, you can just use any old pokemon for one of the parents, and one of the flawless Dittos that's going around for the other. This is probably the easiest way to do things.
Yeah, I really need one of those flawless Ditto's. Right now, IV Breeding is starting to get annoying when I have that pretty good shiny spread, but my parents suck.
But with good parents, I was able to make a perfect Shiny Breloom, a perfect Shiny Ninjask and lots of perfect not shinies.
mingot, pretty good job on version 5.00. The Initial Seed Checker using only stats is great. Probably will help many of those who don't have a AR.

Wow a flawless wild ditto would really help me in breeding tremendously. I have a question about the last three steps to getting a flawless ditto though. It seems that syberia just blandly gave out the steps and I don't understand them that well. Such as hitting a spread, advancing the RNG, and sweet scenting for the wild pokemon. I know it's not as simple to use sweet scent, find a wild pokemon, and proceed to capture, or is it?
I love single-parent spreads. It's really nice to have one Ditto with the right IVs and use random parents with the right moves to get flawless things with very little setup.

Main reason I wanted to post was about getting even frames on the WonderCard event Pokemon. I've found (at least with the small sample size of saves I've had) that when I wait for someone in the Sandgem mart (usually the blonde-haired guy) to move before grabbing the gift, the RNG advances by 3. At least I'm two hex-flawless WonderCard Pokemon ahead by using this...
This particular NPC movement probably doesn't apply for all situations, but the point is that we should use the NPCs to our advantage for even frame numbers (especially when all the runners in your game are caught, like in mine).
