I could seriously use some guidance on a current gen 4 Platinum rng issue I'm having.
I'm trying to rng and catch a shiny, perfect IV Mesprit.
I've abused a trainer ID/SID specifically for shiny, perfect Modest and Timid spreads, following this tutorial:
and rng'ed the Mesprit via this tutorial:
All results were verified during each step of both processes.
I followed all the instructions, used the seed/frame/PID information for the Timid spread from when I generated the TID/SID, got the correct coin flips, used Chatot chatter to advance my frames, released the Mesprit and tracked it down. The Mesprit is NOT shiny, but has the correct stats and nature, so I assume something went wrong somewhere, because this seems to be the Mesprit I was aiming for, just minus the shininess.
Does anyone have any tips on how to troubleshoot this, or can anyone point out where I might have gone wrong? I'm unsure what specific information to include to help shed light on the issue, but I'll provide whatever is required.
I would seriously appreciate any and all help with this, as a lot of time and effort has gone into this project and there are more Pokémon I need to catch from the game with this spread.
Thanks.
