    To those people who are suggesting to go to the GTS for ditto, just a tip. Ask for a ditto from lvl 21-30 and it will guarantee you a freshly caught Friend Safari one...which means at least 2 perfect IVs as well. Also, if you try to play around 2-4pm GMT (That's 9-11am EST for me), that's when it's 11-1 at night in Japan so I seem to get a lot of Japanese mons then, WT and GTS.

    The problem with specifying a level for the Ditto you want, is if the other players used that Ditto for breeding it would have leveled up. If they then found a better one, say with 3iv, they are unable to trade you their castoff 2iv because of level requirements. I've gotten a couple 3iv that were not in the 21-30 range and I'd rather sift through trash Dittos with no iv than miss an opportunity to get a good one by specifying a level requirement! (I also got a SHINY ditto with useless ivs, but it's blue!)

    I had to be one of those people that, during their first MM session, goes up past the thousand range...
    1123 eggs...all for one golden shinx...ah well, least the IV's were good

    To all those people who go up past 1,500...I feel for you.

    I'm about 300 eggs in looking for an Electrike, but no luck so far. Might wait until I have the shiny charm before I do any more frenzied hatching...

    I must've missed something somewhere along the way. I wasn't aware that the Shiny Charm was an attainable item in X/Y.

    I'm nearing (or possibly over) 500 eggs for this danged Shiny Emolga. The more frustrated I get, the more I want it! I've put off all other adventuring until I get my shiny, which has really stopped up a lot of things I was hoping to do.

    PERSISTENCE UNTIL VICTORY!

    The key thing is that no one knows yet if the shiny charm still effects breeding. It sais " in the wild" in the English text but reputable sites are claiming the Japanese text for the item is unchanged since bw2. However you can check on smogons project where they are hatching 50,000 eggs to get a number based to see if it does in fact still effect breeding. I got the shiny charm back in... early January. I got a shiny froakie in 80 or so eggs, gave up on my noibat around 60 eggs. All I can say is tgat I provably got lucky, however til someone has some proof it apparently is only good in the wild

    According to a recent research. Shiny Charm gives you like a 1:428 chance of a shiny.

    Anyway, got a Shiny Spritzee on my 6th egg. By accident! I was only using a Male JAP Togekiss to pass down Wish :D

    Where did you get the info if you don't mind me asking? I know of one place so far that is actually publicly conducting research and they haven't come to the conclusion yet.

    I hate how we can't hatch the PKMN we wanted to be shiny, and when we're taking a break and just make eggs for friend's request, they hatch into shinies(Baltoy). -,-

    Seriously, why???
    I already Wonder Traded 3 boxes or so Tepigs already! >.>

    edit...
    I just realized something...
    why the heck am I trying to hatch a shiny Tepig in the first place?! <.<
