mossy gorge
Hello, I am currently RNGing for a Cresselia in Platinum and I am really close to the target seed, however I am consistently getting 3 or 5 delays off, and not entirely sure what to do about it. I have searched my problem on Reddit and elsewhere to no avail, and changing the year from odd to even and vice versa doesn't seem to help. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Some additional context, I forgot to add, I currently need to use two Eontimers, since my pre-timer thingy is currently 16 seconds, and I'm using a very old 3ds that takes more than 16 seconds to even close settings after changing the time, so I'm using a second Eontimer set to exactly 60 seconds and setting the time a minute in advance to allow for the time to change exactly so that I can still SR Platinum at the end of the 16 second pretimer
Additionally, sometimes I hit even or odd delays randomly after hitting odd or even delays respectively

Also I just realised I'm hitting the wrong time
Does the second matter as long as I'm hitting the right delay?

Yes
Everything need to match
mossy gorge
What can I do to match seconds in that case? What do I need to change?
mossy gorge
I'm setting them correctly
cedar kernel
Change them accordingly to what you hit
mossy gorge
So since I'm hitting 47, change it to 47 in eontimer?
cedar kernel
No

Which did you try from here

This top one

If you was aiming for 46 and you hit 47, reduce 46 to 45 in eontimer

Got it
cedar kernel
Eventho I'm almost sure you should not mess with that value
Are you hitting the correct delay?
mossy gorge
I hit the correct delay once but I'm not sure about the time, I accidentally tapped up when I should've tapped down and got a different Pokemon's cry so I had to try again
mossy gorge
Are you hitting the correct delay?
Since starting the thread it corrected itself to hitting 46 without me changing the target second in Eontimer
Sorry if I'm being confusing I've been at this for many hours and nothing to show for it

You have to check which second you hit using the coin flips
Seconds and delay

When I last hit the correct delay number I got overexcited and didn't check the seconds because I forgot that was even a factor
It would explain why the Chatot cries didn't seem to line up with the pitch
I'm close to the delay now though

Then try again
And check also the seconds again this time
mossy gorge
Well, changed seeds and hit the delay again
Once again the wrong second though because I hit a second late on the previous one, so I was a second early on the "correct" seed for some reason
I don't understand that, since if I hit a second late I needed to put the target second back one, right?

Yes
Try it and let me know
If you constantly hit delay and seconds + 1 just set 1 second before on your ds

Cresselia has a spawn delay thingy of 5, right? So stop 5 advances before the encounter?
