You put them in the daycare and RNG a shiny egg (with needed nature). When you have an egg, save the game and check it's shinyness. If it's shiny, then do the RNG for IV's from that point (in front of the daycare man). Does that help?

What guides do you recommend for HGSS then? (for nature and iv eggs that is)
Yes. Thanks.
I have guides for HGSS shiny eggs and IVs. You could give them a try if you want. You could also look at Bearfan's videos. There are links to it on the first page of this help thread.

I've seen bearfan's video but I have some questions I want to ask which he did not answer in his video nor did anyone want to answer.
Say if for the first part, my egg was not in frame 1 or the day-care man did not have my egg ready yet, wouldn't NPCs in town and on the route mess up my frame if I were to bike up and down to get my pokemon to breed and pop an egg for me to pick up at the Old Man?
If I do not know my SID (I could actually look for it because I was lucky enough to get a Shiny Gible randomly) but do not care for shininess anyways, could I still continue for the gender and nature?
How does everstone affect the process? What about using Stat training items like Power Bracer?
If the frame is low like 3 or 5? How the hell would I be adequately able to confirm if I hit the correct seed/delay without advancing the frame too far? (Elm calls is how I confirm if I hit the correct seed/delay or not)
NPCs do not mess up IRNG (egg generation). You need to worry about NPCs when you get to the IV part of your RNG project.
Yes, you can. Leave the SID/OT sections of RNG reporter blank. Some people say to put random numbers in for both.
Don't. RNG is about a seed. A seed provides a time. The time gives the exact right nature and ability. If you add in the other items, RNG Reporter can't deal with it, because it generates the seed based on math without having to calculate the math of these items. So don't ever use items when you RNG.
Elm does not advance IRNG (egg generation). He only advances RNG. Low odd numbered frames are good because you can use Joey to advance the IRNG frame by two each phone call. But do not choose a Monday to call him. He'll ask for a fight. If he's been asking for a fight all along, fight him and then do your IRNG, but not on Monday.
Ok, quick question. Why on my Soul Silver cartridge is my frame consistently starting on 3 (instead of 1). Yes, I'm on Rt. 34 (by the Day Care), but I'm hitting X as soon as the world loads up (so no NPC's can screw me up). I am just confused as to why I'm consistently starting on frame 3.
Happening to me also, no roamers. It's not that big of a problem, it's just that I have to remember to start from the 3rd frame call.
So I get a seed from Shiny Egg, plug it into Seed to Time to help me check if I hit the right seed? Then if I did hit the correct seed/delay, I put the parents into the daycare and go out and start running around for my egg (if its on the IRNG Frame 1). Egg generates, I save in front of Old Man which concludes my first part done? Would any other action mess up the egg's nature/gender when I am doing the IV part of RNG?
Yes. I'm doing both, the ID copied with the DS next to me, same for the secret ID.
EDIT: Oh dammit, the first number should have been zero, but I already had 8 in that spot, so it didn't change. Thanks for trying to help. My SID's actually 06806.
Alright, so I've found a spread I like for my Regirock.
Careful with 31 / 31 / 31 / 31 / 31 / 7. The frame is 490, so I need to advance the RNG 489 times.
I've defeated a Pokemon so it will appear in my journal on the first page when I start the game.
There are no roamers.
I've saved infront of the statue with 3 Pokemon in my party.
So, if I'm right, I need to flip the journal 240 times to advance by 480 frames, then walk 384 steps to advance it by 9 since I have 3 pokes in my party. Then I should have my Regirock, right?!
Also, just to be sure, when the journal opens and a pokemon is on the first page, does that count as a flip or do i have to change the page and return to it to get a flip?
(EX: its on page 1, so do I have to go 1-2-1 to get it to count or is the first 1 counted?)

So I'm trying to capture a Lonely 31/31/25/31/30/30 Giratina on frame 35, seed 270E0290, with a delay a 647 and the seconds value is 50. On pikatimer when the second timer is 14.78, I can never get in the gameworld in that time, though, so I can check my delay then adjust pikatimer accordingly. After I adjust pikatimer, it usually scales it back to 14.82 or so. When using that timer, I do the coin flips and never get any adjacent delay to 647. What am I doing wrong?
Two things you have to keep in mind when using pikatimer...
1st - computer subroutines (anti-virus updates, messengers blinking, torrent downloads, open navigator minimized but loading a page) might trow pikatimer off a bit and make you get inconsistent results, so have as little as possible going on while using pike timer.
2nd - you have to be consistent on what you do. I say - go with the rhythm. Tap your foot for each beep and soon in two pikatimer runs you'll have the RNG done: one run for fine-tuning and one for final results.
I am currently RNG abusing for Heatran:
Modest
31/4/31/31/31/31
What is the journal flip formula for Diamond when Sr'ing legends?
Journal flips = (target frame - monster frame - roamers)/2
What frame is heatran generated on? Is it 1?
Yes, so given the formula above, unless you want to do walking to advance the frame which I don't really suggest, choose an odd frame if you don't have any roamers out
Does Cressialia count as a roamer if I have not yet talked to it on Full Moon Island?
No
Its method J under the frame column.
Dont worry about actual frames at all.
Which method is used for Pokémon revived from fossils in HGSS? I assume it's Method 1, but I'd like to confirm before I start trying to RNG them.
Alright. Two questions.
First, how do I know which ability gets assigned to Ability 0 in the shiny egg finder section of RNGreporter?
Second, if I can't get a frame of 1 and I go with two, does this mean I am suppose to reject the first egg that comes and grab the second?

It's Seed Flare time.
How many moving NPCs are in Route 47 (HGSS)?
