New RNG user, and was hoping to get some help/a few questions answered. Going to try to give the best/correct details as possible, but sorry if I confuse some things.
Using RNG Reporter 9.96.5
Trying to Capture Latias in the Dreamyard.
Using a 3DS
MAC Address: E00C7F42D720
I've been able to successfully IV RNG the Latias, which I verified through a IV calculator. But I was hoping to take it another step and try to get a shiny Latias as well. To do this, I used the Time Finder and turned the "Search for Nearby Shiny Frames" on. After expanding the search criteria, I was able to find a few seeds that had nearby shiny frames and the stats I wanted.
Target Seed: 13B4D69648186749
Seed Delay: 8 seconds (usual 3DS time delay I believe)
After entering the seed into the main reporter page, I got my starting frame and generated the list. My starting frame was 48, with the shiny target frame set to 55. I then synced the clocks, and loaded up the game. I had saved one step away from where Latias engaged, so when the game had loaded I immediately paused and used Chatots to increment the frame by 7. Took the step forward and caught Latias, but it wasn't shiny or the correct stats.
I attempted to follow the Chatot pitch pattern, but I can't find a reference point to tell if I'm on the right track. I've attempted this ~10 times now, but have been unsuccessful each time.
So a few questions:
- Do I need the ID/SID values to get shinies? I haven't been entering them so far...
- Is there an easier way to get a frame reference? The main reporter page lists the Nature and Pitch values, but doesn't list the IVs which I thought was a good way to check.
- Is there anything wrong with my process? I assumed I was using the "Nearby Shiny Frames" option correctly, but could be totally off.
Would appreciate any advice/tips. Thanks!
