When the coin flips are right and the egg is wrong, catch a Pokemon to make sure your seed is right. It is very much possible for two different seeds to have matching coin flips.
Dex \ IV Check button shows you which number corresponds to which ability. And the system uses 0 and 1, not 1 and 2.
The basics listed in this post ought to cover it. We will be updating that guide for RNG Reporter soon.
anyone mind helping me with this?
I have a quick question. I'm looking to capture a shiny timid gastly at the haunted old Chateau in platinum. If the target frame is only 3, what should I do to advance the RNG? If I hit my target time, do I need to take one step forward and sweet scent? Will the encounter from sweet scent yield me the shiny, or do i need to do it again to land on the right frame?

Except now you don't have to download Romsstar's program, the responses are listed in the latest version of RNG Reporter. I hope I don't have to explain to you where to find them, they're in plain sight.
Do you know how to RNG period?
These aren't the types of questions you should be asking.
only shinies, but this is different. its not poketch, its a pokegear.
By "only shinies", you mean just shiny eggs, right? Not capturing flawless Pokemon in the wild? Because this is pretty different.
If you're not familiar with capturing flawless Pokemon then you should read through the guides on the front page first; the basics are the same regardless of whether it's DPPt or HGSS. Come up with a plan of attack on your own after that, and we'll help you iron out the details.
yes, only shinies. i've tried this before but sadly got "stuck." i only got to the part where i got my delay and seconds..and how do you get the target time?
You have a seed in mind, right? Use RNG Reporter's Seed to Time button.
k thanks. also want to ask, is it ok to spend a long time on the calibration phase, like taking "breaks"? or should it be performed quickly, because you need to repeat the delays and seconds right, say 4-5 times to get the range.
Wait what?
So it's better to kill the roamers, and there's a better method I can use other than calling Elm with the roamers dead?
Oh, hold it there. Sorry, that's a part of the guide that's going to be revised soon, due to it being needlessly imprecise and limiting.
The new method involves using a timer like emloop (link on the front page, Ctrl+F for it). Basically, instead of mashing the A button and hoping for a certain time\delay, you use a timer for greater control. None of this calibration crap. (EDIT: Okay, techically you're still calibrating, but this is better.)
What are you trying again? Please don't make me go through the last few pages to remember. I remember something about 717 delay and that's it.
sorry, i linked your emloop discussion to this one: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1907765&postcount=7
is that the same, how do you get the delay, value in the red box? sorry got confused there.

Im trying to hit the delay of 718 but i added 306 since i cant SR.... now im back on the broken DS... and sometimes the coin flips dont match to ANYTHING around my delay but sometimes they do... it's getting frustrating...
It's the same, except his steps don't mention that you can get your seconds by adding the green and yellow boxes together.
The delay you use is whatever the delay for your seed is.
Hello OmegaDonut! I have some questions
Here is my CP. I want to catch a Giratina with the following stats:
Naive : 30/30/31/30/27/30. So I entered in the RNG Reporter as the guide says. Time Finder, put all these information using the min_frame default 1000 and min max delays default as well 600 and 610. When I click in generate after all the loading stuff nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

Yeah, coin flips are not a good idea if you're not sure of your delay range yet.
If you have 718+306 it should say 17.06, not 11.96. The DSi has a start-up period before it starts counting delay, too.
This is another reason the guides will be revised. Too many people are limiting themselves by searching for seeds with delays only around 600.
In your case, there just aren't any seeds that let you encounter Giratina with the parameters you set. Once again, I recommend learning how to use emloop to hit seeds with higher delays.
On the DSi I use 11.96 ; on the broken one I use 17.06(which I'm currently using) What else should I do to verify my seed then? Sometimes the coin flips worked pretty well... And once my delay was like 6 off... When I press A to confirm the time along with pressing space on my comp, the DS and emloop are never counting together... Sometimes they're off :/
