Wow, I'm behind. A lot. Will do some IV breed abuse to test this alone and see how well I can do.
Not sure how much an R4 will affect this, hopefully not a lot.

Yes, just remember to do it exactly right, ie. still have the same amount of pokemon in your party. Also generation of an egg advances the IRNG by one, so take away another one from the coin flips.
Battles don't affect the RNG and so I assume move tutors don't either.
I'm still getting delays of over 10,000 for the initial seed when I'm doing test runs for exploitation of bred pokemon's IVs. Is this supposed to happen? Should I just keep trying until I get a delay of around 600?
I need clarification. When doing the test runs for calibration so I can get desired IVs do I still need an initial seed with a delay of approx 600? or do I only need a delay of about 600 for the egg? I always get really high delays and don't want to really continue to do this in vain if I'm doing it incorrectly.

Just check on Hoppip's Smogon page; the ability listed first is ability 1. For Hoppip, that would be Chlorophyll. Also, a good rule of thumb for 3rd gen and older Pokémon is that if they have a D/P only ability (Leaf Guard), it's always ability 2.
I personally find it easier to time the seconds if I start from the DS menu, but that's just me.
Jonny, thanks so much for your guide. It's awesome. Very easy to understand (Well, for me at least. x.x) and down to the point. Awesome job.
I will probably test this and make a video guide this weekend, although the fact that you can't always get the desired IVs first try is a bit of a downer. :P But I suppose I can just redo one section over and over until I get the desired IVs. :D
Will probably just talk about your guide in the video, with steps for correction and such.

Thetorsoboy-thank you very much dude. Mingot is going to clear it up and include it in the OP, also I hope that with people testing it there'll be some kind of refinement, but so far I believe only Lightning-Fusion and me managed to do it. Good Luck
VOBLiTZ :i don't know if there's a better way but you could try breeding a shiny egg with each of those SIDs and see which gives a shiny...not the easiest way to do it but it's once and for all

You can use any of them, they all give the same results.
