Hi all,
First off, gratz on yanma, magcargo and mareep (Hope i didn't miss anyone).
I have finally gotten my first proper hunted shiny in months! I was breeding a comp. Ferroseed for a friend (and for myself). I had a japanese 4IV Ferroseed (HP, ATK, DEF, SPD, Brave) that i got over wonder-trade, and i like to have all my comp team with me as the OT. I put the ferroseed and a 2IV (ATK, HP) ditto in the daycare with everstone and destiny knot and literally 4 EGGS IN, I got a shiny ferroseed.
Brave, relatively superior 31/x/x/x/x/x (I haven't checked the IVs yet). Kinda dissapointed about IVs but hey, a shiny is a shiny.
In all reality though its more like 130 eggs from MM (vulpix and snover with no luck) plus over 1000 eggs non-masuda from breeding for the VGC (it takes a long time when you only have 4 2IV dittos and no ditto friend safari)
I kinda gave up on the foongus and remembered i also lost a poliwag a while back when chain fishing was a thing, so foongus wasn't really the first shiny i have lost. I will keep trying for foongus though.
I eventually got my 4IV brave and will try for a 4IV relaxed (for other smogon set). Maybe i'll get another shiny along the way. Going into exams though so i might not be able to do much hunting over the next week.
GL on all hunts, happy hunting and sorry for the semi-tl;dr post
