Most Generation PRNG Help / Information

Im currently trying to do breeding without having weird years, with journal flips advance the frame by 2.

So if I aim for 17, my initial frame is 1, it will be 8 flips.
But one flip counts when entering a page with the necessairy criteria, exiting it won't effect the frame unless I return to the same page correct?

So for 8 flips it would be enter, exit, enter, exit, enter, exit, enter, exit, enter, exit, enter, exit, enter, exit, enter.
That's what I understood from the explaination on the front, I think im on the right track but just making sure.
That is indeed correct, TEST.
 
Is it unrealistic to keep resetting my platinum game until I get a shiny timid hp fire 70 spread? Any idea of how many resets it could take?
It took me more then 3500 save files, I got a Shiny Timid Fire Spread 2 days ago (I hope to capture it today), but Clear has a flawless spread way faster then me, I haven't found one....so it's just luck (?!?!)
 
Well, after resetting it almost all day yesterday, I got this:
861447980F 326a391b (TIMID, ability 1) 24/24/31/26/31/22 (Seed: 4f000b7c Frame: 20) HP FIRE 68 !!!
2225557978F ae02a572 (TIMID, ability 0) 30/12/29/22/31/30 (Seed: ae020e3c Frame: 2) HP FIRE 66 !!!
2684420820F dcdfd7ac (TIMID, ability 0) 28/8/25/26/31/26 (Seed: c7070ad8 Frame: 256) HP FIRE 65 !!!
1775721554F 1e061576 (MODEST, ability 0) 26/14/26/27/31/29 (Seed: 3116044c Frame: 106) HP ICE 64 !!!
4215533304F 56e55d94 (LONELY, ability 0) 28/28/27/31/31/31 (Seed: 14110761 Frame: 61) HP DRAGON 68 !!!
3612892148F c8c2c3b6 (HASTY, ability 0) 26/31/31/27/29/31 (Seed: a40309a4 Frame: 52) HP DRAGON 49 !!!
1795779955F 74cf7fb9 (BOLD, ability 1) 28/2/30/27/27/29 (Seed: cb03054a Frame: 149) HP ICE 64 !!!

I'm not sure whether to keep this one... the mixed spreads are great but apart from that it's nothing outstanding, imo.

edit. tossed.
 
OK, starting to get angry to a point. I have been trying to capture a Electabuzz on the Route leading into Sunnyshore(224 I believe? If not, you should know what I am talking about). At first I forgot to immobilize the NPCs, so I was getting weird spreads(Docile most of the time). However last night I immobilized all the NPCs I could, and still to no avail. The frame is 82 (Adamant Nature, HP Grass 70). So I have no wanderers, and the frame of Swent Scented Pokes is 2, 82-2=80. Then 80/2=40. I am dong 40 flips everytime I hit my seed and still havent gotten it. The 1 NPC I could not seem to immobilize with the Vs. Seeker is the cop, and he moves in a fixed pattern so he shouldnt be affecting the frame, right? Last night after I immobilized them all and did the flips and everything I got a Timid Nature if tht helps. And this doesnt require a sync, so it can't be something with that.
 
Did you take into account of moving 128 contributes towards the advancement and also people in the area you can't see still adds to the advancement in frames?
 
Did you take into account of moving 128 contributes towards the advancement and also people in the area you can't see still adds to the advancement in frames?

Yes to both. I dont move at all when I start up the game, and I have immobilized all the NPCs on that route except the cop as stated.
 
Then try to actually catch something immediately and after that, catch something after waiting for a whole minute without advancing the RNG. That will tell you if there is something else on the route effecting the RNG.
 
I thought I understood how to RNG for eggs well enough to try and get a shiny breed going but for some reason I can't get the coinflips to match my delay and seconds that I normally hit. Does anyone have any trouble shooting tips?

You mean you have the shiny egg already in the daycare or what?
 
If that the case, you don't have to hit any target delay and second.
Just to confirm, you're trying to get shiny in "breeding" right??

You can try this:
1. You need your SID (I supposed you already have your SID), also apps #5, #6 and #15

2. Prepare a pokemon with sweet scent (not necessarily)

3. You must only have 5 pokemon in your party, one of them is sweet scenter and one of them is the pokemon that you're going to breed. So one of the parent must be placed inside the daycare, and another parent is in your hand.

3. Go to patch of grass (place where you can meet pokemon high leveled pokemon about level 43 and above, e.g route 225, 226, 227, 228, 229, 230), set your poketch app on #5, save the game.

4. Open your RNG reporter, choose "Seed Finder", and then choose "find initial seed by stats"

5. Synchronize your clock with an external clock

6. Reset your game (remember, you're now in patch of grass), use sweet scent(preferably), catch the wild pokemon, use the data from the wild pokemon to fill in all the particular in the "find initial seed by stats", and then click FIND, and then press OK

7. Back to the main window of RNG reporter, switch the method to "DPPt Breeding", and click GENERATE (remember, you should input your ID, SID, and tick "Shiny Only" box)

8. Then choose one spread that suit your taste (Nature and gender, if you find the nature and gender that you want have a High frame, then I recommend you to redo from number 1)

9. Right click the spread that you want, choose "CALCULATE POKETCH TAPS"

10.For example you get:Happiness application double taps 400 and Coin flip application taps 10. Then from your poketch, switch your app from #5 to #6. After you finish your double taps in app #6, then switch to app #15 and do the tap.

11. After you do these, FLY back to Solaceon Town(you're in route between 225 to 230, right?)

12. Store your other parent in the daycare, and then bike until the egg appear. If you want to proceed to RNG abusing for flawless IV, then you should save your game in front of the grandpa. (Before you RNG abuse, it's better to check whether the egg is shiny or not, if you confirm the egg is shiny, then do the RNG abuse)

Follow all this steps carefully, I ensure you will get your shiny egg

Good Luck!!!
 
Exilic - Have the step counter app open on the poketech. Use that to see if it counts.

DokiDoki- He is trying to abuse for a shiny egg at a low frame for a certain nature and other things. In that case, he needs all 6 pokemon in his party.

TheButcher - Make sure you do 10 flips and have 6 pokemon if abusing for a shiny egg at a low frame. Use the adjacent list to find out what seed you did get and how much you were off. It is very helpful and allows you to tell what went wrong.
 
Yay! After 3 weeks of failing in rng abuse in my platinum, i went back to my diamond to try to get a shiny giratina there and i succeeded. yay.

The wierd thing is that when i first trying rng abuse on Diamond giratina 3 weeks ago, i was so certain that I was hitting the right time and delay, but for some reason he wasnt popping up...oh well at least i got him now.

Platinum giratina your next >:)
 
I'm confused.

My target frame is 197. I have 2 roamers, I am sweet scenting in grass. I take one turn in grass, then do 96 journal flips.

I end up on frame 198.

So I skip taking that turn in grass, and I end up on frame 196.

Can someone tell me what's going on? I've tested out both scenarios twice. Please, and thanks!
 
I've been having an issue with the encounter tables when doing some wild captures. I do all of my RNG abuse on my Diamond game and have been using these tables.

I'm shooting for a Meditite, but have gotten the wrong pokemon twice.

The first time, I tried to do the capture at Mt. Coronet. I went in through Route 207 and used a slot 0 frame. Instead of a Meditite, I ended up getting a Machop, which is very odd seeing as how Machop is not even listed in the table for that area.

I just tried again, this time at Route 211 West. Again I used a slot 0 frame, but this time I ended up with a Geodude. According to the table, Geodude is supposed to be at slot 4.

Anyone have any idea what could be going on?

I've had problems with encounter slots in Wayward Cave, they all appear to be wrong.

Although, you should check to see that you're not hitting another frame that happens to coincide with your spread but not your encounter slot.

Lastly, the numbered floors listed on the encounter slot tables you are using for large multi-level caves such as Mt. Coronet do not coincide with the numbered floors listed from sites such as Serebii and Pokeearth.
 
yngstr: Unless by turning you mean you're changing your direction and taking a step at the same time, I don't see what you're doing wrong. Going a step forward instead of turning is all I can think of.
 
How can I immobilized the NPCs? They ALWAYS mess up my frame.
Most trainer NPCs can be immobolized for a few seconds by using the Vs. seeker, either do that or go to a different route(assuming you're capturing) if you're RNG breeding, you can't immobolize them IIRC.

Yea, I'm breeding. T_T Perhaps I can request an AR code for that.
 
for happiness checker application where you have to make the pokemon jump

what if they dont jump does that mean it doesnt count as a tap for shiny rng abuse?

Don't do that, it might kill your game and people won't like it because most of the effort is to hit the right frame.

If they don't jump, it doesn't count as a tap.
