iirc, joggers are only there in the mornings... are you resetting for something that has to be done in the morning?
if it's not a jogger or not in the morning, then ignore this post.
What do you mean by pick a new target date? You mean try a different frame?
I hit the delay of 652 while I wanted to hit a delay of 645, so can I advance the year by 7?
No, he means find a new target time using a different year so you can hit easier delays.
I still confused. How did I hit the wrong delay? What do you mean by easier delay? Sorry If I sound like a rng abuse noob.
You don't just hit the delay that you want. Try performing the calibration phase to see your range of delays you generally hit.
How do you check if you had the right frame? Is the only way to hatch and check the IVs? Because after a LOT of resetting I finally hit my delay and seconds and saved, then I was upset when the IVs were wrong. So I checked and I was on the wrong frame, despite calibrating it before I started resetting.
yea that happens alot for us no AR people its a game of guess so its best to not save,unless you like to recalibrate for another shiny spread(assuming) so what i usually do if i am going save is find the lowest base frame like 3-1 with as little people moving they never fluctuate, but base frame 4 and up always changing the moment i hit the delay.
Yeah, that always happened to me before I got my AR. I just used Metalkid's IV checker, going to level 5. Then I used what it gave me to narrow down the possible frames from the spread, and if there wasn't anything within 8 or so frames up, I knew I got it. But that's the best you can do without AR.
I think this is sort of what you guys have just been talking about but I'm going to ask anyway because I'm slightly confused...
I'm locked into a Shiny, Brave Magikarp egg (YEAH!) and I'm currently trying to RNG Abuse for good IVs. I've done everything it says in the frame calibration phase until the point where it says "Find the Frame". This is where I am having trouble. I've sifted through >100 different frames and still not found the correct frame.
Is there any way I can search through the frames or predict which it will be or will I just have to scroll for aaaaaaaagges?
Thanks for your continued help guys, I'm getting there xD

You reset your game and take the egg from the Day Care man IMMEDIATELY. Then you find your seed and generate the list under DPPt Breeding. Then check the IV's of your egg and see where they fall on that list. The frame number of yours IV's is your frame.
Maybe I didn't make it completely clear -
I can't find the frame matching my IVs (I know that they have been calculated correctly). And I took the egg immediately

When you are first just checking for the egg frame, take the egg as soon as you continue the game, and then go catch a pokemon. Use this pokemon to find the initial seed. With the seed, generate the Breeding DPPt list and find the one that matches with your egg.
Once you do this / know what frame your egg is, you search for a spread you want to get on your egg and right click it and click adjacent spreads. Then you try to get an egg and check the egg IVs and look at the list. It will show you how off you got from getting your egg, whether it is a frame off, or a delay or a second off.
^Exactly. Is there a way to search through the frames without trawling through them manually?
Yeah, set search criteria in the main window. Set them to the IV's of your egg and it will find it.
Are we talking about the part to the left of where you enter your SID? I've tried it in there and it still isn't working. Could this be a problem with the IVs themselves?
You can fly to a different place. I recommend the resort area for those >Lvl 50 Magikarps
Mingot fixed this in 6.11. We're already aware of this glitch.
