Hey guys,
I'm new to RNGing in BW and I want to start breeding/catching stuff for XY. I have been trying to RNG a TID/SID combination that gets me a good spread for mixed roamers, but whatever thing I do, I cannot hit the combination at all.
Before starting a new game, I went and looked for my DS parameters. Timer0 fluctuated between C7F and C80. These were the only Timer0's I was getting (I tested it 10 times I believe) and I got them 50/50. Because of that, I made two profiles with those Timer0's.
I searched for a 30/31/30/31/31/31 Roamer spread with the Timefinder, copied the seed and pasted it in the main window of the RNGReporter (in Seed). I set the method to Gen 5 PIDRNG, nature to Naive and frame to 650. I checked both the Wild and Roaming Encounter type, made a note of the frame (683), then inserted the seed in Pandora's Box and searched in the month August of this year. I tested both profiles (with the different Timer0's) and whatever I did, I would ALWAYS hit the wrong Timer0.
So, when I wanted to hit the C7F Timer0, I set my DS to what Pandora's Box said and RNGed. I would hit a semi random TID and with that, I could decude what seed I had hit with the Seed finder. I would almost always hit the correct timing, but the wrong Timer0. Is that just bad luck or is there something I'm not doing right?
Also, I did try to RNG myself a homemade TID/SID and that actually worked! But, when I still had the save, I would need 8 extra Advances (when Juniper asked if my name is '...') to hit the right TID. After deleting the save, I was able to hit the TID only by doing 3 less Advances then what Pandora's Box told me. Furthermore, this game was created using the C7F Timer0, but when I tried to RNG for a shiny starter, I couldn't get any shinies until I started looking for spreads with the C80 Timer0 (that worked fine).
As cool as a madeup TID/SID is, I prefer a good combination that allows me to catch shiny Roamers and whatnot.
Help! =(
