Most Generation PRNG Help / Information

I'm trying to abuse my egg IVs. Target time is 12:25:50, delay is 490. I entered all of that in Pikatimer. I always hit my seed, but I always hit 48 seconds. Any idea on how I can hit 50?

So say I have 200 frames to reach. And Elm's calls are 1 frame.

Does that mean I have to call him 200 times, then battle Suicune?

Like as of right now, I just beat Misty. So I don't know if I should reset after, I save or continue on over to Suicune, then head to RNGreporter and what not.

You can call that many times if you want, but I usually use the radio to advance close to the frame and then elm call the rest of the way. Using the top right one can advance anywhere from 10 to 15, so I just assume each detune is 15, and give myself 30 frames breathing room. So 200-30=170/15= 11 detunes or so. Then once I finish the detunes, I use the Elm calls to see where I'm at, and then use Joey calls to put me closer, then back to Elm to make sure I'm where I need to be.

That sounds like a good idea, i don't know if I really want to risk it though

See my reply to Shurokun if you want to know what I do for detunes.

Actually now that I'm doing it, when you say tune and detune do you mean going on the station and then into the fuzz?

Yes, you drag the radio setting to the side, then hit the station button and drag it to the side again. If you do this about 9 times for the top right station, you should still safely be in your frame range for your seed. You'll probably find you still have a good half the distance of frames to go before you're near your target.

Edit: Assuming the highest movement of 15 frames 15 times 10 is 150 frames. You could, if you want, use the radio 20 times safely. To advance closer to 300 frames. I don't think it actually does a 15 frame advance, though. It may be one or two frames less each time.

Another edit: I advance by radio a lot. I don't use the Radioseed program yet, because it's another thing I have to take time to learn, but I just do the calculation like I showed and advance and then check where I am using Elm calls. Saves a lot of time.

Change your DS clock by putting it 2 minutes later. Don't change your wanted seconds on Pikatimer. Just change the DS clock only. You'll still get the target pokemon.
 
Man. That seems like a lot. But I said I want to do this, so I have to at least try.

Okay, I am at Suicune and I saved. Which program should I open second? I have RNGReporter up, right now.

Though I guess the better question is which program should I focus on first? JAVARNG or Pikatimer?
 
JavaRNG, since you will be using it to find the IV spread that you want to use on Suicune. Go ahead and run it and input what you want for it (if you're going for a shiny, be linient on the IVs since it's hard to find a good shiny spread unless you abused your ID for it). Then just let it run it's search, and when it's done look for a seed you want (I haven't used JavaRNG so I don't know how it displays spreads).
 
Alright. I am going for CroCune, so I am looking at at a spread like this 31/0/30/31/31/31

So just plug those in to the sockets and put in the nature, then just press generate?

Also, I can't get the shiny, unless I know my ID and SID, right? So that isn't a option?

Also, do I put in random numbers for delay or what?
 
Ok so I'm on like seed 256 and found another spread that is the exact same as my desired except like a 100 frames earlier, would this be fine to catch then?
 
@ Graymonky, It doesn't really matter what seed you use, so long as you know you can get the results that go with it. But did you mean 'frame' 256? If you're already doing your RNG, you might as well finish getting to your target frame.

Yeah I meant frame. Ok I guess I will just go the distance.
 
Lol. Okay. I finally got that Elm thing. I was like, what does P, K, and E stand for. So that is out of the way.

So I have that down and the IVs I want and what not.

Right now the Min Delay says, 595 and the max says 635. Should I change this or leave it as so?

I tried it out, but I still hit 48 seconds instead of 50. =/
 
I know I while ago I saw a post or an article that had a short list of ID/SID combinations with a few good shiny spreads on them. Does anyone have a link, or am I just remembering badly?

I may not understand this exactly, but if it isn't your SID, how can you use the spread?
 
@CPrime: I know what you're talking about, but I don't have the link. Is it on the first page of this thread? I'll keep an eye out for it.

@JRT: There used to be a post with a list of flawless spreads and IDs that would make them shiny, and along with those spreads were other really good spread too. I think that's the list he's looking for.

@Graymonkey: Yeah, go now. Just hurry incase there is an NPC in the area.

You left Pikatimer exactly as it was before? You have your usual calibrated seconds and you kept 50 as your wanted seconds? You didn't adjust your delays beforehand? It was the same exact delays as before?

If you left those alone and you hit 48 seconds again, then move the DS clock to two more minutes later. Do not adjust your delays until you have tested that you land on the right seconds. Adjust your DS clock only until you consistently get the right seconds. Then you can start adjusting your delays again.

If you discover afterward that your seconds change due to a delay adjustment, then test this again by doing the RNG once more to see if it was a random jump to the wrong seconds. If not, then adjust your DS minutes again, without adjusting your delays, until you're on the right seconds again.
 
Wait I was told along time ago that to use flawless shiny spreads on your own game, you had to reset the game and use pandora's box, which was the reason I could never catch flawless shinies. So what that's not exactly true?
 
@JRT: It was just showing ID combos that would give those spread as shiny. You would still have to abuse your IDs to get those spreads shiny, but the list gave the combos so all you had to do was find the seed to get it, hit it, and you'd have abused your IDs with a combo for that spread.


@Graymonkey: Congrats!!
 
Thank you COCTAL. I'm not 100% sure how that all works and won't until I get Pokemon Black :p.

Still looking for the answer to this:
JRT said:
Logically speaking, if a Seed shows 75% female, it doesn't matter if 25%, 12.5%, and 50% are male correct?
Click to expand...
 
COKTAL, yeah, that's the list I'm looking for. I just can't seem to find it.

JRT, if your desired pokemon has a 75% female rate, and RNG Reporter says that for 75% female rate pokemon, it will be female, then yes, it will be female.
I may have worded that a bit strangely...
