I'm not sure what happened to Mespirt in my game, but apparently it's not roaming. I don't know why I would have killed it, but the area is unknown and I was off by a step when trying to get my perfect Timid Gastly, which I finally managed to get. Thanks to those that helped!
Actually, if I remember correctly, they stopped showing you the roamers locations in the dex, and instead used the marking map.
I caught my Giratina there, and
here's my post about RNG advancement while in Distortion World. Did you walk from the normal to the inner map before battling Giratina? That's the only explanation I have.
I was actualy saved directly in front of Giratina. I did no walking of any kind.
But my frames were havoc. First I was off by at least 7 frames (which was also from an even starting frame, but I ended up with only odds.)
Then I tried again, using the gap between my first set of frames as a guide (I started at frame 5 I believe with my calculations) and I ended up 12 frames higher. I know I may have done one more flip by mistake, despite careful counting... Everyong makes mistakes now and then. but with the amount of flips I did (75) and my target of 155 (-5 as my "starting frame") I ended up at 167! Now, just using my 75 flips (150 frames) to find the starting frame... It must have been 17! Now I know I couldn't have messed up that badly when I was doing flips... Because I know theres no way it could change that much without some sort of extra frames. Like a wandering NPC.
I checked and double checked, and even if I had gone over OR under the number of flips I should have, this still shouldn't be possible.
I just cant see a reason for it =/
EDIT: Sohofalco, yes once the birds are made you go find Zappy. But you did make sure that you haven't caught Moltres yet? If you did, Zappy becomes frame 1 instead.
