help with honey tree RNG in Platinum

[tall isle]

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to manipulate what Pokemon spawns when you apply honey to a honey tree in Platinum, so I can shiny hunt a heracross. I used the honey tree guide by Blisy which shows that it is possible to predict what encounter will spawn based on the PID of the frame you apply honey. So since I know I want heracross, I reversed the process to get all the PIDs that will spawn a heracross. However, using RNG reporter I cannot find a way to search for a seed by using a desired PID. I have two questions about this:

1: does using the honey tree encounter tables to find the PID by reversing blisys process even work?

2: assuming the PIDs I found were correct, is there a way to search for a seed to find that PID?

For context I am using a DS lite, I know my SID and my munchlax tree locations. I am fairly new to RNG manipulation and I've been using RNG reporter and the guide on Smogon. So far I've been able to RNG my starter and a couple wild encounters in heart gold and a couple wild encounters in Platinum.

Thank you all for your time ❤️

that trick of "look at method 1 and use the PID" does work to find your honey tree slot, but its janky. it is possible to find a seed for a specific method 1 PID using 3rd gen tools -> PID to IVs but i wouldn't recommend bothering. real96 has this tool which can give you some target seed for a specific encounter slot : https://github.com/Real96/DPPtHoneyTreeRNGTool/releases
and i have this toolset that can do a bunch of honey tree rng: https://pokemow.com/Gen4/HoneyTreeRNG/

i recommend, just hit any seed, verify what you hit with coin flips or chatots, and then see how many advances away the nearest heracross is. not even munchlax is that rare that you need to hit a single target seed, you can often just check what you hit and work with that
