I have been working on trying to successfully rng for a short while now in preparation for the HGSS release, intend to RNG legendaries and subsequent desirable pokes. I know how to use RNG Reporter 7.10 for the most part. I use JavaRNG/PikaTimer to find spreads. I am asking for help on Ho-oh.
My target seed is c0e02c2, frame 73, using Method K with an Adamant syncher. I am not interested in shiny, just the Ada 31/31/31/x/31/31 spread. I am playing Heartgold - English. I have no flashcart or anything, just my DS, HG cartridge, and an AR (not being used for this).
I have hit the target time and delay multiple times. I can catch Ho-oh and it lands on Frame 3 (two dogs alive, base frame) reliably. If I sweet scent down the ladder on the right time it lands on Frame 4 reliably. I have no problem to this point. After I catch Rattata, I need to advance the frame 69 times.
First I tried the radio trick (bottom right button tune/detune) to move it 4 frames and run around with 5 pokes in Ho-oh's room the appropriate amount of times. The caught Ho-oh's frame was WAY beyond the target.
Trying to figure out what made my frame jump so crazy I tried advancing the frame by 4 by running with 4 poke's in ho-oh's room, going down ladder, sweet scenting. I was on a different seed, but was more focusing on the frame. The first Rattata worked fine, frame 8, leaving me with a happy multiple of 5 to run around with 5 pokes. I sweet scented again, not moving or anything, and the frame was way beyond my target, even without running around - 154 (possibly higher, many identical spreads beyond that).
Sorry this is so long, but I cannot figure out what is making the second poke jump so far in frames. Does it have to do with the Syncher being in front? I considered moving him, but RNG Reporter offered totally different spreads when I switched it to no Synch.
I don't want to be a bother, but I have done literally hours (almost days) of research on this. I know not a lot of things are figured out about HGSS frames, but I know people have caught Ho-oh with just running around. Plz help me have my epic Ho-oh! Hope this is in the right thread...
