That's strange... Can you take a screenshot of the time finder the way you have it set up? You could have overlooked something and also we can see exactly what you're doing so we can help you better. :)

Oooooh, I see the problem now, you're only searching for Male eggs. Change "Male (87.5% Male / 12.5% Female)" to "Female (87.5% Male / 12.5% Female)"

Heya guys, quick question. I'm trying to get my SID on my platinum, unfortunately I dunno the pokemon's EVs so I was gonna use pokecheck to find out its SID. But since I don't have internet access on my platinum, I was gonna migrate to White to use pokecheck. Question being, would the SID change if I migrate? If you don't know its ok, I could try anyways :D

Well i thought i would start learning to RNG today and i gotta say it's a lot harder than i thought it would be (and i thought it would be incredibly hard). Anyway i keep coming across the same problem. I've been using the guide here but every time i get a frame in the high thousands. Am i missing something? BTW i'm trying to hatch a shiny larvesta. Here's a screenshot.

This is for Egg Abuse. I'm not new to RNGing, but I'm not the best at it. Earlier today I RNGed a flawless shiny Snorunt, Vulpix, and Sableye (all the same time and frame) then I tried to use the same time to RNG a Skamory, except I didn't want it to be shiny. So I unchecked the international box, and bred the US Skamory with a US Staraptor. The frame that I used to get the other pokemon slightly changed. (the gender changed to male, and the shininess) Why is it not working for Skamory? I'm advancing the frame 11 times just like I did for the Snorunt, but after trying around 15 times I'm not even coming close to hitting the frame I want because I don't see the natures I am getting are not anywhere near the frame I want. I'm not getting the same thing over and over again either. It's strange. I'll get a Rash nature one, then a Naive one, then a few careful ones(careful being the everstone nature). But I'm not changing the time or changing the number of times I advance the frame. ***I should mention I am using the Quick Egg Hatch code if that means anything, but it worked fine for the first 3.
Thanks for the help in advance! :)
*I can attach screenshots later if they would help!

Screenshots can really help, and using AR with RNG is not that great of an idea. It can screw around with the breeding sometimes.

Well, it hasn't really been a problem until now. I breed the egg, advance the frame, obtain the egg, save the game, then put in the AR, and it usually works fine :/. I've attached screenshots... Forgot to mention I'm using PPRNG instead of RNG Reporter bc I'm on a mac. The first one is what I used to obtain the first 3, then the 2nd is what I used to obtain the Skamory. I'm trying to hit 62.

The box marked "International" is ticked in the first screenshot and not the second one. International parents gives you more options for shinies.

Yes, I know. I don't want the Skamory to be shiny. In my first post I said I intentionally changed that. But does changing the international box make the number of times I need to advance the frame different?

Hmm, I'm not really sure why it does that. Perhaps try searching for a similar seed without having "International" ticked while searching for seeds. It does screw with it though if I recall correctly.

Yes. Changing International changes everything else. For the Skarmory you'll have to search for a different seed. Finding nonshiny seeds is very easy though so finding another seed won't be a problem.


Finally got to RNGing on my W2 and this is what I've gotten so far :D

Nice 'mons, cupcake!

Just a tip for the rest of Musketeers, kill them, they'll respawn at lvl 65 and they're easier to catch at 65 because of their worse movesets. Weird but true. :)
