Nop!
Do you mean that you used the PIDRNG method in Time Finder? If so, that is your problem. You have to use IVs (Standard Seed) or else it will completely ignore the IVs you put in the search. The frame 1 IVs for that seed are 16/27/2/7/27/16.
That may explain a lot. So just use standard seed and treat it like normal? If yes, will that get me the nature I want?
Why no Standard Seed for newer DS models?
Can anyone tell me why the DSi and 3DS don't support Standard Seed abuse? Couldn't a Standard Seed be used instead of a C-gear Seed if the programming for the system was decoded more and added to RNG Reporter?

Who says you can't do standard seed abuse with a DSi/3DS?

why would you do that? of course not :nerd:
You can only search for a specific nature if you're searching for a shiny. Otherwise, just ignore the nature while you're searching, then copy the seed into the main window to find a PID frame with the nature you want.
Depends on a lot of factors, mainly how good your computer is and the parameters of your search.
Thanks, that seems very helpful.
But since I'm new to 5th Gen RNG, I'm having some trouble with "VCount" and "VFrame".
When I use the time finder, it seems like it wants me to fill them in. I had no problem finding my MAC Address, but I can't find anything about these in the guide.
Any help?

You can't just RNG your starter. First you need to find all of your parameters. I would recommend playing the game first and doing other kind of abuses before you try the starter.
EDIT: Here's a video to show you how to find your parameters.

Seems pretty reasonable, you just gotta be patient (or upgrade to a faster computer, but I wouldn't recommend that just for RNGing :P).@Vodoo Pimp I don't know... does this seem normal or too specific?
Hm ok. The times seem really unreasonable but ok thank you.
Princess of Johto, voodoo pimp, pat yourselves on the back. Nailed the spread and nature I was looking for. Thanks a ton.
RNGing wondercards is easy. Just save in a Pokemon Center with no NPCs, hit your standard seed, and advance to your target frame (you have to advance the PID RNG, taking steps won't work. Chatot is the easiest, but saving also works). The method would be Wondercard in the time finder. In the main window, it would be Wondercard (5th gen.).
Wondercards can't be RNGd to be shiny; they're either always shiny or never shiny. I hope this answered your questions.
OD Edit: Some special currently Japan-only wondercards can be shiny if you RNG them to be shiny. Everything else PoJ said is correct
hi i tried it out ,i saved in pcenter in the league, i dont know why but it does'nt seem to match any of the frames or nature of the seed,is there anything im doing wrong ,is there a min frame to search for wondercards,also the pokemon im trying to rng is the v create mov14 victini ,does it fall under wonder card or glan wondercard
Being genderless Victini is not GLAN (glan stands for Gender Locked Any Nature). Wondercards should be searchable by min/max advances not frame. The actual starting frame for the seed is variable and in the main window you should use the Calculate Initial PIDRNG Frame button to see what your initial frame is.
To help figure out what seed you hit it is usually best to use the Adjacent Seed Tool (right click on the time finder result and choose Generate Adjacent Seeds...).
