I am now dual SRing Regice and Moltres, hopefully one will shine this weekend.
I am guessing that if you have a parent Pokémon from someone else's game, and another parent from ANOTHER person's game, then it will increase the odds of hatching a shiny.
But there is no proof, and I'd rather SR for 1/8192 (Valuable) shinies, than cheap 1/200 easy shinies.
Good luck peeps.
Exactly.
This is the deduction I came to this morning when I was trying to figure it out.
I thought about the Pokemon I was using.
I didn't get them off GTS, but they were traded.
For Vulpix, I was using one of the breeding Dittos I had received online through a trade. The other parent was a hatched Vulpix from my FR game. Both with different IDs. I got this one the most easily of course, 22 eggs after doing the "glitch" which probably doesn't do anything at all.
For Munchlax, both of the Pokemon were traded.... but from the same game. They both came from the same game because they have the same ID. (It's either Diamond or Pearl1, can't remember). I had some trouble with this one. 68 eggs after rejecting 42, but I had already hatched maybe 100 Munchlax eggs previous.
For Magikarp... it's a little bit more difficult, but here's the deal: The Ditto I'm using is traded.
The Magikarp has my ID, the one that's the same from the game I'm hatching on.
So maybe there's something to that, since both times above I was dealing with traded Pokemon with both parents.
It's something worth researching.
But now I wonder how I'm going to test this... Maybe trade some of my Diamond ID Pokemon to my Pearl1 and test it there. I'd like to test it with Staryu, actually..
But that means I'll have to break the "Egg Chain" of my Magikarp.....
Bah! Screw the chain! I wanna try this other thing out!
Good luck everyone :)
edit:
K I have my game plan now. I'm going to do this on Pearl1. I usually keep it open to chain but now is not the time.
I'm going to trade over my Timid Ditto and then Pal Park some Staryu since I don't have any good ones so it doesn't really matter nor do I have the patience or want to wait til I hatch a good Staryu for a parent, that way I can test it nearly immediately...
And btw.... remember what happens when I test things? lol :P :D
