I need a little clarification regarding Breeding a Shiny in Soul Silver.
I've successfully bred 4 shiny pokemon with the right natures, abilities, and gender so far, so for the most part, I think I'm doing fine. However, problems arise as I try to get a Shiny, Brave, Male Cloyster with the Skill Link ability. I've checked many times over the data I entered (ID, SID, HG/SS, non-international, date, seconds, delays) and have actually hit 10 correct, different seeds (checked by 9 Elm calls) that are reported by the RNG Reporter to give off the shiny egg at their corresponding frames. Yet after all those attempts, the resulting eggs are wrong.
So, to the questions:
1. Will RNG Reporter sometimes suggest seeds that don't work (possibly due to certain request combinations of abilities, gender, natures based off your specific ID and SID)?
2. Is the number of Elm calls I'm making messing frames up? Or could it possibly be my biking between Jubilife and the Daycare? I was under the impression that the getting to the correct frame involves rejecting/collecting eggs (e.g. Frame listed as "3" means reject 2 eggs and save before third egg. That's what I did to obtain the other 4 shiny eggs).
3. Is Cloyster just something that doesn't obey RNG Abuse?
Any troubleshooting would be appreciated. I've done a good amount of research already, and I think some other people have had the same problem (hitting correct seeds and frames, but not getting what they wanted).
