Is this the best spread to catch Trick Room Kyogre in Emerald? :

66271 18:24.51 Quiet 1 30 30 30 28 27 3 Water 59
I found that spread here:
http://www.smogon.com/ingame/rng/emerald_rng_part2

I've caught Kyogre several times now (And saved 1 step away from encountering it), leveled it to 100 with rare candies and checked it's IV's with Metalkid IV calculator.

Aftet that I tried searching for 31/x/31/31/31/0 Quiet, but it couldn't find anyone the three times I tried. (Max results: 9999999)
 
A question about rnging wondercards

When i press seed to time i got
01:01:2010 20:15:19
So i change the date to this but i dont understand the time what should i do?

20:15:19 is the time you have to press continue, not talk to the pokemart guy.
Btw, do delays vary from game to game? because i can rng in my plat and my average delay there is 604, is it possible that in my diamond version i can use that same delay?

Yes, Diamond and Pearl have longer load times than Platinum, so you will find the delay is between 615 and 625

Ask that to Rename Card, I bet he can answer you. lol Yeah, the delays change a lot from game to game. Some delays you can hit easily in Platinum are impossible in Diamond and Pearl.
 
Ok, I'm hoping someone can help me figure this out. I'm trying to breed a shiny pokemon, the ditto is not mine the other pokemon is. Under the shiny breeding tab I have my id and sid number in there, should I receive a shiny from that calculation? I didn't from my first couple tries and I'm not sure if I need to place the ditto's id and sid instead of my own. When I first did this to test it out it worked perfectly fine with two pokemon that were mine and just didn't work when both pokemon had a different id and sid then my own.

It could be an international ditto, I think that might mess it up.

you input the ID/SID of whatever game your RNGing in

I'm going to try with a mixture of my ID and the Dittos SID cause its not working with my ID and SID alone. I'm positive my SID is correct.

Edit: For future reference that didn't work either.
 
I'm new to the RNG process and am trying to get a flawless Jirachi using the Wondercard method.

I'm using Diamond; I've done the calibration phase a bunch of times and can consistently hit 14 seconds and a delay between 620 and 630. I even verified my target time and delay using the coin trick once, so I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing till here.

I've been following the guide in the OP for receiving perfect wondercard Pokemon, and there isn't anything I don't really understand. Clearly I'm doing something wrong though. For practice I've been using the initial seed 3B090283 with a target frame of 5 (the spread is listed in part 5 of the guide), to see if I can hit the corresponding IV spread. So far I haven't been able to though, and I really can't figure out why not. Here's a step-by-step process of everything I'm doing.

1. I input the above initial seed into the "Seed to Time" option on RNG Reporter and press Generate.
2. For convenience I choose the first Date/Time/Delay listed, which in this case is 2010/01/01 ; 09:00:58 ; 633
3. I then set my date to 01/01/2010 and my time to 08:59:00 (synchronized with my PC).
4. At 09:00:44 I SR, and I hit continue at 09:00:58.
5. The Journal pops up immediately (I have no caught Pokemon on the first page). I do the journal flip 2 times to advance to RNG to frame 5 (I have no roaming Pokemon by the way).
6. Once I've flipped the journal twice I press start and immediately talk to the delivery guy before an NPC can move.

I've tried this half a dozen times, even picking a different seed and frame, but I still don't get the spread I'm supposed to. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong please?

Here are a few other related questions that I'll post now so that I don't have to spam this topic with my questions later:

1. For wondercard abuse, I've noticed that for some of the initial seeds I input into the "Seed to Time" menu option, the delay reported is well out of range of the delays I usually get. For example, the seed 0C0E02C2 gives delays close to 700. How is this relevant to hitting that particular spread, and what can I do to get that spread? Would I have to just go through the menus slower when SRing? What about for delays close to 600 which I can't hit even when pressing A as fast as I can?
2. On the journal, do traded Pokemon advance the RNG? This might explain why my method above didn't work, but I saw no mention of this in the guide so I assume that traded Pokemon in the journal are irrelevant.
3. When trying to hit an even frame for RNG abuse, the guide says you should "pause for a sec" between canceling the journal and talking to the delivery guy (to advance the RNG by 1 I suppose). Can anyone be a bit more clear about how long I should pause for, or is this just something I've got to get a feel for once I start SRing?
 
i dont think wondercard pokemon apply to seed to time function. instead, in seed to time, put in your seed your trying to hit, click generate in the middle to the right, say yes to whatever settings it gives. now after you pick up jirachi, go to search coin flips, then on your ds, flip 10 coins and enter the exact order you got on the computer. then, it should come up with the seed you hit.

everything else your doing looks fine to me. but, for simplicities sake, why don't you go to a seed that actually is on the 14th second, not the 58th. also, january 1 is a little suspicious for an event pokemon that came out in march. pick a later date or one close to today so that people wont be bugging you about it.

Thanks for your help imapedarsag, but I'm still a little confused. I followed your instructions in the first paragraph, and I found the seed that I actually hit... now what?

Also I'm just doing January 1st for now until I learn how to actually do the process, once I smoothen things out I'll pick a proper date, thanks for the heads up though :)
 
Okay so apparently I hit the 7th frame... what does this tell me :)
I was going after the 5th frame with the original seed, but the 5th frame on the new seed is some random garbage, is this normal?
 
yes, the new seed's ivs dont matter for shit. you only want to know what frame you hit. This is because you didn't hit your delay, thus there is no way you could have gotten perfect ivs.

Why you got frame 7 you ask? Are you sure you don't have any roamers? Are you sure you flipped twice and only twice to a page that says Caught/Defeated male/female "pokemon"?
 
So in order to get the spread I want I have to hit the exact delay the spread gives, in this case 633? I thought we had to be able to narrow our delay down to +- 5, not down to a single number?!?! I feel I'm missing something pretty fundamental here.
