I've never done it myself so my knowledge is limited. Feel free to ask away though on the off chance I know the answer haha

Alrighty, do you know if the MTRNG seed influenced by the Seconds as well as the Delay when you enter the Entralink?

I'm not 100% sure tbh (big surprise there!), but based on this post it would seem to be yes:

Aah, thanks for that! Do you know if there is a way to know what my required second would be? Or should I just go for the Trial and Error approach and hope for the best?

The second is the time associated with the seed (I know in the RNG Reporter it's the time you pick of out the Seed to Time tool or the Times/Adjacents tab in PPRNG). I think the 5 seconds Bond mentioned were just a buffer time so he could get ready. I do know there's quite a bit of hoping for the best though for Entralink RNG :P

Oh btw, do you have the Roserade?

I have it as a Budew which I haven't gotten around to training yet XP
I'm not on tomorrow though am I?

Turns out that it was a combination of an emulation issue and me doing something wrong xD Trial and error was the way to go, I got what I was after in the end. http://imgur.com/a/HQ7sN

Congrats! Never knew that about the offset. Do you think that's just a problem with the RNG Reporter or actually an emu thing?

I think it's an emu thing, I haven't seen it reported anywhere else

Huh. Well, good to know, thanks! The question never comes up, but in case it does I now know another possible source of error lol

And also because it was inconsistent depending on what seed I attempted to hit. Another interesting quirk was that the IVRNG Frame was 7 less than what it should have been, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
