One of the few still listed as incompatible here. Click and follow the instructions.
Nope. Same thing applies to Dream Radar Pokemon when we get the ability to RNG them.
The bolded one.
I play on DS Lite, not DSi/3DS.
In the Hidden Grottos, does the PIDRNG advance at a weird amount? Because when I got my Minccino on Rt. 5, the IVs were correct, I did the correct number of advancements, but the nature was wrong.
PID doesn't advance at all, assuming you saved inside the grotto. Did you select the correct encounter type when doing it?
The encounter type is Hidden Grotto, correct?
I was able to do Reshiram in White 2, but had to offset the PID frame by -3 in RNG Reporter. Any reason for this?
Hi need a bit of a hand on abusing my id/sid in english uk white 2
Not sure if new 9.963 is glitchy but spent two days struggling with rng'ing my id/sid
i did my japanese versions of b/w 2 fine but maybe need fresh eyes
my parameters are 10f5 vframe 6 gxstat 6 vcount 82 no keypresses
i have found shiny hp ice 70 seed dac9389d8d6bf943 and did even find a id/sid 26281-54528 which made that shiny on frame 50 wild stationary 52 on 03/05/2012 at 09.56.28
But id/sid date isnt showing today in pandora's box in rngreporter i've writed down id/sid able on 5th march 2012 at 09.30.48 but its not showing anymore in whole of march
do any expert rngers know how i can find my date or how i can rng id/sid 26281-54528 as that is definately showing in ng 9.963 as shiny and doable.
*** quick update i knew it was due to tiredness had a problem with date/month order as in uk we put day first then the month and i think pandora's box day/month order and rng time-finder are both different? i.e. day/month & month/day anyway way too tired to think now at least i got the id/sid i wanted although i think i missed out on shiny starter but main aim was shiny synchable wild/stationaries ***

Yes. Also make sure you select the correct gender ratio of the Pokemon (so, 25% M/75% F for Minccino) and then generate the PID frames. I had the same problem yesterday.
I'm RNGing my first legendary, so a quick question:
I can't seem to hit my IV frame (Frame 1). I've done this many times before, but I can't seem to find the problem. I quadruple checked my calibrations and redid it several times, but it always ends up with random IVs. If you need any specifics, then ask (I'm RNGing Terrakion on an English W2 on a DS Lite).

Is there anyway to RNG a wild Pokemon so it has it's held item?
For example, let's say I want sun stones. In Black and White, Solrock has a 5% chance of holding a sun stone. Is there a method to ensuring you hit that 5%?

No, my DS has beginning zeros in the MAC address and it RNGs just fine.
I succesfully RNGed my Genesect !
After a lot of search, I eventually discovered that the starting frame wasn't the one showed by RNG Reporter. With my seed (C2C6BBA9627165DF) RNG Reporter calculates a starting frame of 51 with "Memory Link" checked (though I haven't used the Memory Link at all) and 61 without Memory Link checked. However, my actual starting frame was 49. I can't explain why or if there is a relation with my French version at all... I used Chatot to advance from 49 to 61.

Leading 0's don't affect anything. If you're getting the wrong IVs, then you hit the wrong Timer0/VCount (unless you picked a frame higher than 1 and/or advanced incorrectly).
If I use a DSi, should I start the game at 23 seconds?
On a DSi, the seconds offset is either 1 or 2 seconds. When you calibrate, the parameters search window will tell you your "actual seconds" value. Compare this to the second that you actually entered the game from the DS menu, and use that to determine when you need to start the game to hit your target.

OK! Finally got RNGing Kyurem down. And ooh, shiny!
So that confirms that Kyurem is not Shiny-locked in BW2.
Listening to Chatot pitches was the way to go. Made it much easier to verify seeds. Also switched to my DSLite since it was just exponentially easier than using my 3DS. It seems there is PID advancement going on in Kyurem's Cave, but it's not a lot.
Anyone have a good sound to use for Chatot? What I have works, but I'm sure there's better.

did you stop chatoting right before your target? or ......i mean after chatoting ,between exiting the menu and talking to it did it advance the pidOK! Finally got RNGing Kyurem down. And ooh, shiny!

Btw i use a short whistling sound on chatot....thats what i found easy so far ...there are more sounds better than that i think...

I stopped Chatoting when I hit my frame, but my initial frame was a few off from what RNGReporter reported (ahead by about 2 or 3 frames from what RNGReporter listed).
Strangely enough it was also a few frames off when I RNG'd Genesect in the Castelia City Pokemon Center (seed D39A1E34DDF799CC, Memory Link on, BW2 on, RNGReporter says initial frame is 50, but my actual initial frame was 48).
In Dreamyard, is Lati@s considered a Stationary Pokemon, or a Wild Pokemon?

It matters as far as PID and natures go. Stationary and Wild give different natures.
