I guess there's a discrepancy between the Time Finder and the Main Form.
*snip*
@OmegaDonut: You mean that I redo my parameter search but now with pressing the down button? Also, what should I place on the min and max Timer0 instead since my common Timer0 is C7E? Thanks! :)
Dude, the encounter charts are in RNG Reporter. Right click on a PIDRNG frame and click Calculate Encounter Slots. They are accurate for wild grass Pokemon (not shaking spots, but Mienfoo isn't one of them).
Though I need to fix that table to make it clear that the first column in the table is slot 0, the second slot 1, etc.
Okay, I did that and the minimum frame is 4626(holy crap). Advancing this frame is when I would do that Chatot crap, right? Also, it's giving me a specific nature(Careful) for that frame. Am I locked into that, or will using a Synchronizer possibly improve my odds of getting a different nature?
Redo your search in the Time Finder with Method 5 (Standard Seed). If you check the Shiny Only check box and enter your ID\SID, and enter a number in the Max Shiny Frame box, it will restrict the results to only IV spreads that also have a nearby shiny frame on the same seed.
If the nature is bolded in Time Finder, it can be Synchronized. In the main window, if the nature changes when you select a nature from the Synchronize drop-down box, it can be Synchronized.
Oh, I see now. I know what the issue is, and I've fixed it. For now, if you want accurate roamer IVs for frame 1, set your max frame to frame 2 and ignore all results that say frame 2.
Thanks for the screenshot.
For some reason when I click on the Black Encounter Table on RNG Reporter, nothing happens.
I did this the first time, but if I remember correctly I had to put the Max Shiny Frame at something around 2,000-3,000 to actually hit one that gave me my desired IVs+HP Fire.
I see, I'll try that ahead. Also, I'm still confused by this, but until what point should I hold a button when entering the game? Should I release it after the white Nintendo screen comes up or until the "2011 Nintendo" one? Thanks! :)
Update RNG Reporter to beta 5. It's on the first page.
Try searching a different month. If you're going for a totally flawless HP Fire spread, you might have to relax your standards a bit.
I ended up settling for HP Fire 64, but I'll definitely try different months. The lowest possible shiny frame that gives me the desired ability and nature is currently 50,823, so finding a more desirable month could save me a ton of time. Thanks for the tip.
One more question: that encounter slot thing has Duosion in the very first column in route 9. Am I correct in assuming that this is column 0?
Ahh I see what you mean. I haven't had an issue with that, but I've never taken too many extra steps. So your step counter doesn't reset when you turn off the game is what I'm getting from that? Maybe I'll try to take 127 steps and test it for myself.
I'm having some trouble figuring out my PID frame. I'm trying to catch a Jolly Mienfoo with Inner Focus (Ability 0) in Dragonspiral Tower 1F. I'm not using a synchronizer because 1) I need to carry only 2 pokemon in party to hit my frame, and I'm already using my Spore/False Slash Breloom and a Sweet Scenter, and 2) I want to figure out exactly how the PID advancement works.
I walked into the tower and used a super repel, walked exactly 72 steps (128 steps left on the repel) and then saved. When I start the game and manage to hit the correct seed/Timer0 value (which I'm getting better at), I run 128 steps until my repel expires. If I immediately sweet scent after that, I catch a Modest Mienfoo, Female, with Regenerator (Ability 1). I've confirmed this multiple times to make sure.
The initial post says that each step in areas with wild pokemon as well as saves both increase the PID frame by 1, but I'm not getting equivalent results. When I take an extra step and then sweet scent, I catch a Careful Druddigon, Male, with Ability 1. When I save and then sweet scent, I catch a Gentle Mienfoo, Female, with Ability 1.
Confirmed all their IVs to make sure I was on the same seed/frame each time.
Seed: 31C26DE43F5FEB92
Any ideas?
EDIT: While I'm at it, is there a page that lists the ESVs for each area like there was for the Gen IV games?
What I assumed was you got the full seed from the time finder - method 5 standard seed and then put it into the main window under method 5 PIDRNG, but it doesn't find any shinies. I am confused as to how to search for IVs and then apply them to the next PIDRNG search.
my IVs are not ridiculously rare.
Quoting this as a bump and to post more testing information.
After 128 steps precisely: Mienfoo (ESV 1), Modest, F, Ability 1
After 128 steps + 1 turn (without moving): Golett, Bold, Ability 1
After 128 steps + 1 step: Same as above
After 128 steps + 2 steps: Druddigon, Careful, M, Ability 1
So I take it that turns and full steps both count as 1 advancement. Unfortunately, I can't find a set of PID Frames in sequence anywhere on this seed that fits those natures and values.
Also, when I step the other direction (turning around in the process) it advances twice to the same Druddigon. So turning around to move even if you don't stop in the meantime counts as an additional advancement?
And then the real kicker is that when I walk exactly 128 steps then do a save, I catch a Gentle, Female Mienfoo with Ability 1, which doesn't match any of my other advancements.
Can someone clarify?
You can't find hem in sequence because they're plus 2. Turning and walking counts as two separate movements unless you're running. Only that counts as one.
Is it normal for a vcount to change?
I've abused on this seed before no problems. It has a vcount of 5D, but I've just caught the same pokemon 4 times in a row with a vcount of 5E
Aside from what was said about hold a button down causing the Timer0 value to change is there anything else known to cause this? I'm, apparently, randomly switching between C7B and C7C when I do nothing and C7C and C7D when I'm holding a button.
and what about the PID frame? is it taken from frame 8 of the PID as well, or does this work the same as usual?
also, how do you find you SID in gen 5? is it the same as gen 4? and can I use RNG reporter to find it?
Check the Shiny Only box when doing the Method 5 Standard Seed search. It'll limit the results to seeds that also have low-frame shinies (specificy your max in the Max Shiny Frame box).
I suggest figuring out where you are frame-wise after your 128 steps, and then using saves or preferably Chatots to advance to your final PIDRNG frame.
The PID is still crazy for breeding.
To get your SID you can use Pandora's Box in RNGReporter but you have to know exactly when you started your game.
I tried that, loaded it up to the correct time and date, but it wasn't shiny and the nature stated was wrong. Is there a special way to hit these seeds?
Posted this before but no one replied, and I added a few more details.

Is there anything I missed out or am doing wrong?
