  • Most people don't have Dittos with perfect IV's, so that would be why you have an easier time. The rest of us have to use the Egg Trick or spend hours raging at our handhelds.

    I'm working on a Spikes set Skarmory. So far, so good. Usually it only takes an hour or two after the kids start poppin out with 4 IV's to get one with 5.

    I've just finished breeding some flawless machops and I'm planning on breeding aerodactyl, sableye and pikachu as soon as I get hidden ability mothers for them.


    I'm currently breeding a ton and a half of Eevee's. I'm not 100% sure, but when a shiny evolves, the evolution will stay a shiny or will it become a regular pokemon?


    It'll still be shinny.

  • Is there a trick to breeding shinies in X/Y? or is it just the Masuda method and patience?
    IVs I should go okay with as I have a flawless ditto.

    Masuda method + shinny charm (item given to you when you get all the non-event pokemon in the dex), I heard the shinny charm affects the chances of finding shinnies even when breeding!

  • Yep, shiny charm + Masuda method takes the shiny chances up to 1/512. With just masuda method, it's 1/683.

    I'm currently not breeding phiones anymore though. One badge left to go, so no shiny charm either. I did get a shiny aerodactyl while IV breeding one for another player in my shop. 5ivs, missing only speed.

    Right now I'm working on a Murkrow in a dream ball with its hidden ability (also for an order in my shop).

    • Seen today
    Just got a Crawdaunt and a Metagross done. Thankfully I got a 6IV Ditto via Wonder Trade, that made things so~ much faster. I think, I might go for a Starmie next.

  • Last week I bred some Pokémon I plan to transfer to ORAS when the time comes, mostly stuff that will be getting Mega Evolutions in those games such as Weedle, Bagon, Swablu and Ralts. Wanted to make sure I had some prepared for those!

  • I went back to HG to catch an Onix in a heavy ball since ORAS is soon to be released. I bred Stealth Rock into him.... and then around the 15 egg I got a Shiny, Heavy Ball, Stealth Rock, Rock Head, Onix... hehe. I have horrible luck with shinies but breed pretty much non stop... So this was a nice surprise :D

  • I'm still trying for a perfect 6IV Sableye. I have a 5IV Sableye (I think its defense or Sp. Defense is the one that's not 31) and a 6IV Ditto. Plan to start on a Swablu tomorrow while I wait for Alpha Sapphire.

    I'm trying to get a female HA aerodactyl with a couple of egg moves so I can then breed that one to get a perfect IV'd one. However, it seems like this isn't my lucky day, I have already bred 35 aerodactyls and none of those was a HA female.

  • I'm breeding for a shiny audino in a dreamball now. Already got perfect IVs for the mother...just waiting on that shiny. I'm just getting ready to breed up audinos 86-90.

    Hoping to get one and clone it to give my husband and son for Christmas because, when I asked them both what their favourite shiny was, they both answered "I don't know."

    Christmas needs more puns.

  • Was training my 6IV Azumarill G. Woundwort yesterday, getting close to level 50 and I start to think "Shouldn't he be learning Belly Drum by now?"

    ... Checked his wiki article. F*&%^ing egg moves.

    At least he's male and part of 2 egg groups.

    On second thought, I can run him as a Choice Band set since my other Choice-user is a Fairy type.

    I had recently finished breeding Venipede's for a time to get IVs, was hoping for a shiny, but my luck in that regard is down in the dumps... I think I'll go ahead and start breeding for Eevee's or something next. I got too much to go through.
