*Revamped RNG Discussion/Help Thread [Do not ask about Gen 6 RNG]

Say what you will but any willing act of hacking would put you on the trading blacklist of pretty much every site that I know of. And you would definitely deserve it.

Edit: Whoops wrong thread for showing off that.

... Who said I wanted to trade? ¬_¬
I see very little reason to want to trade for other Pokémon when I can obtain the same Pokémon by myself.
(And just so you know, I wouldn't give a sheet if I got put on the Trade Forums blacklist.)

[Serebii]

People, stay on topic or I will start infracting like crazy.

Stop it.

Hi guys, I'm relatively new to RNG'ing pokemon, but I was able to abuse my TID and SID on my black cartridge to get a TID of 01337 (elite) and an SID that makes a particular frame shiny (flawless IV's with synchable nature and encounter slot 6), which means I can rng a flawless wild ditto with any nature I want. I am able to clear the fog in the giant chasm, able to hit the seed, and able to hit the frame. My problem is that despite having a munna with the synchronize ability and adamant nature in the first slot in my party, my shiny flawless ditto's (I've caught two now) have a relaxed nature, which is the nature RNG reporter said they would have naturally, if it weren't for the fact that the nature in RNG reporter is bolded and (I think) should mean that the nature of the pokemon I catch on that frame should match the nature of the synchronize pokemon that is in position one in my party. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know what the problem could be, since you appear to be hitting the correct PIDRNG frame. What happens if you note that you're using a Synchronizer in RNG Reporter?

If I check the box marked "synch frames only" on the main screen of RNG reporter, my target frame shows up... is that what you're asking? Also, if I press the synchronize button and select adamant, the target frame shows as bolded adamant. Has anyone known RNG reporter to be wrong about a frame being synch-able? Also, does it make a difference that I am using sweet scent to start the encounter? Or that the munna was caught on my white cartridge and traded over, so I am not recognized as the original trainer? Or that the munna is level one? Sorry about so many questions, I'm just brain storming.

If I'm correct, Synchronize would only work 50% of the time.
Maybe you were on an unlucky streak and kept having Synchronize miss?
(Don't take my word on it, as I know next to nothing about Gen V RNG, I'm just throwing ideas around.)

I've actually never used synchronize while trying to rng, but my understanding is that if the frame you are trying to hit has a bolded nature in RNG reporter, then if you have a pokemon with the synchronize ability in the first slot of your party, if you hit your frame, the pokemon you catch will ALWAYS have the same nature as the synchronize pokemon... of course, my experience is telling me differently, which is why I am asking the experts.

huh, that sounds like you're doing everything right? What version of RNG Reporter are you using? It's possible that one you're using is messed up, and is giving you the wrong frame.

[EliteAndrew]

I'm using rng reporter 9.95 beta... is that the current version?

I believe that that's the latest publicly released one, though 9.96 Alpha is available if you can find it. I haven't used RNG Reporter in a while though since I recently got a Mac.

Have you tried other seeds? I'm pretty sure I remember being able to use Synchronize frames, so that seems weird.

[EliteAndrew]

I haven't tried other seeds with wild caught pokemon, as honestly this particular seed is the only one I care about. The reason is that it's shiny, flawless, and the ditto encounter number... If I can't figure it out, it's not the end of the world, I still have shiny flawless ditto's, I was just hoping to be able to have any nature I wanted.

Yeah, I agree that being able to get any nature you wanted would be super great, since that would make it easier to pass down that nature while breeding.
Oh well. At least you would still be able to get that nature on the other parent for Everstone-ing. :/

Just throwing this out there, did you double check the nature of your Munna? Relaxed sounds like a physically defensive trick room nature, and Munna is best at defending and trick room, so a relaxed Munna isn't unheard of. You could also try another sync pokemon just to see if there is an issue there. Where the Munna came from, what level it is, and any other fact is really irrelevant. as long as it has sync, and the right nature, your frame should be that nature as well. As far as I know 9.95 does not have any bugs with wild captures and sync frames, so I would assume the issue is somewhere else.

9.96 Alpha 17 is the latest release.

[Too Funk to Druck]

What IV/PID frame ranges should I look for when doing a cave spot RNG?

[Pingouin7]

Does anyone have knowledge of how to properly RNG for Wondercard Pokémon?
The guide on Smogon was too confusing to follow and the only video I could find on YT was a bad quality one that didn't help at all.

[EliteAndrew]

Thank you for the link. I tried again with the latest version and RNG reporter still shows the nature on that frame as black, bolded relaxed nature. (Relaxed) I'll try other synch pokemon and other frames to see if I can figure out what's going on.

If it's on 5th gen treat it the same as stationary RNG, but I recommend RNG your wondercard at the Pokemon League tent-center so wandering npcs won't bother your frame advances.

9.96 Alpha 17 is the latest release.

That link works, but the program won't run for some reason.

gen 5 wondercards are simple PID advancements, so just do the right number of chatot flips and adjust if you miss the frame.

the newer version of RNG Reporter require an update to the .NET Framework. Usually there is an accompanying download for .NET 4.5 on the same page as the new RNGR. Note, though, that this update is not compatible with Windows XP and earlier.
