Adjusting Even/Odd Delays

Gen 4 delays are always either odd or even. If your delay is off by 1, use one of the methods below to switch between odd and even delays.

Change the Year

Set the year one year forward or backward. This will also change the delay. Verify the new delay in PokeFinder under "Seed to Time."

Load a GBA Game

Insert a GBA game into the DS’s GBA slot to switch the delay from even to odd, or vice versa.

Continue Screen Method

Select "New Game," then press B to cancel and return to the continue screen. This will switch the delay from even to odd, or vice versa.
