  • I had a few junk eggs I picked up from the daycare after getting what I was looking for and hadn't bothered to hatch. Decided today to hatch them and I got a shiny goomy! Unfortunately it had apparently been in the middle of a string of breeds...only 3ivs and missing one of the egg moves I eventually put on it. But still!

    Unless I'm being super lazy, I try to always take the last egg when switching parents (or finished a hatching goal). My second, shiny Sandshrew was one of the last eggs I picked up after hatching my first, shiny Sandshrew.

  • Currently breeding Dratini with extremespeed, aqua jet, and dd. I get 5IVs about 90% of the time but no 6IVs yet. Definitely not looking for a shiny though because Shiny Dragonite looks like s***.

  • Breeding two versions of Charmander (one for each Charizard mega) and even the 12.5% female birth-rate is not happening. Had to breed at least 50 males before a female hatched; She wasn't any better than her mother. Then I had to breed 30+ more to get a female with better IVs. I'm not even working on my Charmander X yet.... FML :)

    Maybe I should take a break and try to go back to trying to hatch a shiny Bulbasaur.

    Yep that's how breeding those 12.5% genders go. I had the same thing happen while trying to breed Eevee, Fennekin, and Charmander lately. I would get females but with the same or worse IVs than the current mother. :<

    I've never had the string of not getting any females like that before though. I realize it's not a guarantee, but was going on long enough that I was questioning my Ditto and Charmander... like one of them was bugged or something.

    Just use Ditto when breeding with that horrible 12.5% rate. It makes the process so much quicker. I was able to breed my Charizard X in less than a day.

    Oh, I was! That's why it was so frustrating that statistics were not on my side that day(s).
