I thought there were NPCs in there? if not then maybe you have to hit a higher Delay?.... sorry seeing as I didn't do it personally I'm not sure... but maybe try by checking out that stuff

I think the maximum is 3600 for the find by IVs option on seed finder, so you can't use it and you could use pokeRNG to find the seed, then insert the seed poekrng gives you into seed to time option in rng reporter, pick any date and time given in seed to time for that seed, insert that date and time into seed finder, input the IVs and nature of the captured pokemonas well select open search, and HG/SS delay in seed finder and clikc flind, then look for the delay with a seed similar to yours or the one closest to your actual delay
this may seem confusing but I can't explain it any other way :(

Save outside the entrance and let the moving NPCs out there advance your frame. If you're not up to it then that's your problem.
I probably should double check that the frame for a certain seed stays the same while in the lab then?
Also, apparently you can tell if the starter is shiny or not when looking in the Pokeball- would this mean that the first Pokemon I look at will cause an increase in frame?
I can only tell you what I read on the forums, I myself tried to RNG it under method K and was unable to, other posters here stated that it was this alternate method which generated the PID for the Gyarados.
Few questions...
1. In FR/LG, the pokémon there, are they generated through method 1 or 2? I'm talking about legends, mostly Mewtwo.
2. Is getting a Method 2 pokémon easier on a normal game or VBA? (Emerald)
3. Is Latios on Southern Islands spread determined when you talk to the stone, or when the battle begins?
4. The frame skip option, like if I put it to nine, will I skip nine more frames on every ordinary frame? Like instead of 1 I do 10?

Ok, well, I searched PokeRNG for the Ho-oh I caught (Docile 22/11/30/7/26/0) and it gave me two seeds. The problem is, neither of them occur on frame one and only one of them even exists today (about 2 hours later than I reset :/). Maybe I'm not understanding exactly what I'm supposed to be doing. ;__; I guess I'll just go for a different spread. :/
Alrighty, thanks for the heads up!
am I doing something wrong? to find a higher delay in the time finder I put in the min/max delay 600-999 and the max frame of 200 to be able to get Lugia easier by using emloop... its taking a VERY long time and when it finished (after trying both 2009 and 2010) it had 0 results... am I doing something wrong?
time finder isn't really the better program to use to find spreads, use Wichu's PokeRNG program in the first page its faster and gives more spreads at higher delays
Even quicker way, by far: RNG Reporter's Seed Finder, with Open Search checked. It lists lots of spreads with high delays, and does it in about two seconds.
wait... so what do I do?
Posting success on this- however, I did have to move the date forward and experiment with my common frame (I was resetting for Totodile, common frame was 101), after about 5 or so resets actually trying for it, success.
Confirming that you do see the Pokemon shiny when looking in the pokeball.
I did not get to look at the other pokemon; but I'm pretty sure they would start at different frames - unless it depends on which one you load the image of first?
I have a question.......
I'm currently SRing for a shiny Naive chimchar, and I supposedly hit a save frame of 6. So I got a good spread, and did the flips and hit my time.
But I didn't hit my frame, it was one lower, so I imagined I actually hit 5 and not 6, so I did it again, and, again, I hit my time but it said I was missing a frame. So I pictured I actually was in save frame 4 :P
But I have kept repeating and it ALWAYS is one frame lower. I am in frame 2 now and it's telling me to go to number 1 XD
What is happening?

This has happend to me before as well. I don't know why it does it. You have to save infront of the guy again and find your save frame again.
that would probably be the simplest solution... the games like to be punks every now and then.... it cuz they kno..... *pc777 is dead*
awwwwwwwwwwwwwww XD
*hates finding save frames*
Yeah, I guess it is .-.
Thanks a lot anyway ;)
When verifying the delay using the coin flip app, do I have to worry about the RNG advancing between my flips? Does that depend on where I am at in the game world?
Partially incorrect. If there are moving NPC's, they can (and very often will) advance the RNG during flips.
yeah misread the question
The 1st thing that comes to mind is your counting incorrectly, turning to 22 pages with caught/defeated pokemon on them, its impossible for you to have a frame lower than 45
Are you sure all the journal flips were on pages with caught/defeated Pokemon?
What's this I'm seeing about Sweet Scent not being consistent in HG/SS? Is it not always +2 or +3 frames (depending on where you use it) from your starting frame (0 + number of roamers) like it is in D/P/Pt?
^Why what are you getting?
Anyone have any advice on how to RNG Red Gyarados in HG/SS? I heard it's impossible but maybe the RNG advances to the closest shiny frame or something.
