As alluded to in my comment on White Forest abuse, it's a real pain...So, uh, I'm trying to figure out how White Forest abuse works, but I can't anything on it. Of course, you need the trainer that can trigger the Pokemon you want (I want a Porygon because it should allow me to get better IV spreads because finding Poke Radar perfects is annoying) but Sweet Scent won't work...Do you just hit your Seed and hope you get an encounter?
Yes, you've got to just hope to get the encounter. My semi-reliable (semi meaning really not in the slightest) way of doing it was to save the game 2 steps outside of the patch of grass you find the desired mon in (saving in the grass seemed to make it significantly less likely for me to get an encounter, but that's probably placebo effect in action); hit your seed, run into the grass and (hopefully) get your encounter.
The PID and IV frame works as usual (although the NPCs advance the frame while you're there, so you'll have that battle to run with at the same time).
The other big difference is that synchronise doesn't work as usual (I believe it's controlled by Timer1, but whatever it is, it isn't the usual one frame is or isn't a synchronise frame). So any PID frame may have synchronise work, which increases the number of possible spreads you can use (no need to search for nature when performing the search); but it comes with the downside that just because you hit your PID frame (and land a nice, shiny Porygon), it won't necessarily be of the right nature (even if the frame would be if you weren't in White Forest).
