I'm going to start this post, as with every other I shall post on here, with forgive my n00biness, but...
...is it possible to obtain one's secret ID without a cheat method? I've tried using pokecheck.org but run into an error message when entering primar DNS on my DSlite, despite following the rules exactly.
You can use ir gts.

Yes I do that all the time

And is it ok if you box these sweet-scented caught pokes, save the game, and turn off, or does their parameter-checking viability only count for as long as the DS is turned off?
You get to choose when to figure parameters. There is a certain procedure to doing this.you have to save in a cave or somewhere with no npcs that move like most people use the last Cve of victory road where cheren is. And once you catch the poke record him/her it's yours. Dont worry what you do after the parameters with the pokemon

No problem. Just read the first post and the FAQ. A lot of your questions could be answered there.

I'm going to be aiming for a shiny smeargle with as close to flawless ivs as I can get it. I just need the flawless ditto, and I should be set.
I downloaded mine off of PokeCheck! It is a shiny Flawless Ditto! Credit to the original owner!
Edit: I just encouuntered the shiny Musharna! Woot! First try! Did 2 less because the PID frame always goes up by 2 for me...

- The biggest draw to RNGed pokemon is for flawless IVs, which are way more useful than a color swap.
- It's an exploitable in-game feature, just like EVs and IV breeding.
- Nintendo notes that it is legal; it's not cheating by their own definitions.
so u only have to calibrate once and input the same date and time and ivs everytime u rng
Are you asking a question? (use question mark)
After you find your parameters click "use results in time finder." They're saved in the time finder so you never have to find your parameters again unless you change DS or cartridge.
congrats man, and thanks for the tip on the ditto.
I just downloaded mine off of the gts, so i should have the smeargle soon.
thanks man
Thankyou and YourWelcome!

If I restart, do I need to recalibrate? I dont think I do, but I wanna make sure.
Nope. Your calibrations should stay the same.

I like to battle in any gen if you want to battle me send me a pm.I'm a shiny collector so if you have any flawless shiny unova pokemon for trade send me a pm. If I by accident trade you a hacked pokemon just send me a pm and i will trade back as soon as possible than i will release the pokemon.

Yes. Click on "5th gen DS parameters" in the time finder and you should see your parameters are saved in there. Just remember to choose 2 or 3 keypresses every time you open RNG reporter. Keypresses increase the chance of finding a seed in a given month without having to search a million months/years.
Alright so a quick question. If you are PIDRNGing for a stationary pokemon, does it matter what the encounter slot is?
I viewed the encounter slot tables and it looks like its for wild pokemon.

Spoiler:- From the FAQ on page 1:
How do I Hit The Seed?
Set the DS date to the date that RNG reporter gives you in the time finder. Set the clock to the time that RNG reporter gives you. After setting the time, quickly turn off the game and turn it back on. Watch the seconds hand on the DS clock and wait for the correct second. Press A to start up the game 1 second before the time that RNG reporter gives you. I.E. If RNG reporter tells you to start at 7/23/2011 and 8:32:22 you would set the date to 7/23/2011, set the clock to 8:32, turn off/on and wait for the seconds hand to hit 21 and press A to start up the game as soon as the seconds hand hits 21.
Where and How do I Hold Keypresses?
Keypresses are held immediately after you start up the game from the DS menu menu. Start up the game by pressing A 1 second before the time RNG reporter gives, let go of A immediately and hold the required keypresses until the gamefreak logo comes on.
How do I Find my Actual Starting PID Frame?
This is the tricky part.Your actual starting PID frame is usually slightly higher than the calculated initial PID frame that RNG reporter gives you because of the NPCs (unless you're in an area with no NPCs). To find it you must hit your seed, enter the game without turning on the c-gear, let the seasons message fade by itself. While the seasons message is fading press the X button rapidly to bring up the menu as quickly as possible. Then sweet scent and catch the Pokemon you encounter. Check it's IVs to see if you hit your seed. If you did hit your seed look at the list of PID frames and look for a PID frame near your "Calculated initial PID frame" that matches the caught Pokemon. The matching frame will have the same nature, ability, encounter slot etc. That's your actual starting PID frame. Turn off the game without saving and redo it to get your target PID frame.
Note*: If you're using a synchronizer, put another Pokemon first in your party after you open the menu. The synchronizer will only complicate things when you're trying to find your actual starting PID frame.
How do I Hit my Target PID Frame?
Once you've found your actual starting PID frame, hit your seed again, let the season message fade by itself. While the season message is fading press the X button rapidly to bring up the menu as soon as it fades. This time you view Chatot's summary the appropriate number of times to advance from your actual starting frame to your target frame. Remember each view of Chatot's summary advances the PID frame by 1 so target frame-actual starting frame=the number of times you need to view Chatot's summary before sweet scenting.
Also frame 57 could be too low if you're in an area with NPCs. Generally you should aim for 60+. You can give it a try but if your actual starting frame is higher than 57 you'll have to find another seed.
Yes!! Finally managed to get the PIDRNG advancement down
I think my problem was I had transferred my Chatot from another cart, even though I was listening to the chatter it didn't seem to be advancing at all. So I rerecorded a new chatter and worked perfectly
Just got a Shiny Hardy Cobalion 8/31/31/5/29/31. I know not the best IV's but it's for shiny collector purposes rather than battling.
So now to hunt down all the other legends. Then I can get back to making a competitive team for next years VGC.

Yes it will. To get rid of weather save in the area you want to RNG in. Set the date 1 month forward. Enter the game and battle something, after the battle the weather will be gone. Then you can save and RNG.
