Hi I would want to ask something here about RNG.
I am new to this and follow smogon article guide abut "How to Hatch Perfect Pokemon", that is IV soft reset for Dppt.
I have just read in the first page someone saying that in DPPT, we need to calibrate the egg frame before we can IV SReset.
So, I follow the instruction on the smogon article guide, it says after the journal appears ,cancel it and immediately talk to the old man to receive the egg.
I understand that this is because in DPPT there are so many wandering NPCs in solaceon town, so we need to talk to the old man before the NPC moves.
So, after I talked to the old man, the guide told me to encounter pokemon ASAP and use this as the initial seed.
What I dont understand is, the quickest way to encounter pokemon after talking to the old man is of course the route upside of solaceon town. But the pokemon there is only level 20, and if I enter the data to RNG, it wont give me the seed.
I also dont have enough Rare candy to level it until 50, because I need rare candies to level up my hatched-pokemon to compare its IV right?
So, I decided to fly immediately to survival area where there is 50+ level pokemon and catch it and use them to calibrate the frame.
I do this 4 times.
3 times of that, I got the frame close to the 3, so I use this.
Then, setting it to the desired date and time, I soft reset it, and finally hatched the egg. then I checked with the RNG list by comparing the flips and Ivs, including the target time and date, and delay, everything is a perfect match, but the frame is 6, instead of 3.
I tried it one more time, it is also 6.
Does somebody knows why when I calibrate, it is 3 all the time, and when I soft reset, it is 6 all the time? Is it because I use Fly that will change the frame when calibrating?
Sorry if this is too long btw. lol
