Just hit 150 eggs with my eevee couples "......i m happy i will (hopefully) break my female shiny streak with this lol (got 7 female shinies consecutively unito now), to be honest i will be happy if the shiny has the ha

MidknightBlu December 5th, 2013 2:42 AM

I honestly hate the Masuda Method... I've tried it three times in the past, and I've given up after 1000 eggs each time. YES, I have made sure the pokemon are from separate regions in the world. I'm currently on egg 1,475 for my shiny Ralts and I still haven't had any luck. :/

KostK2Boss December 5th, 2013 4:49 AM

Hey everyone! Remember a few pages ago when I said I'm done with the Masuda Method? Never mind that! Apparently, I am insane. I recently got a flawless japanese Ralts from the GTS, so I'm currently MM-ing for a shiny one. And oooof course I hope to get a female one, 'cause male Gardevoir just feels wrong. I decided this time around I won't even try to keep count of how many I hatch, so that I don't get depressed.

Hatched a shiny Eevee after around 500 eggs (wasn't counting), very happy! Can't wait for shiny Sylveon :D

Also, any nickname ideas? XD

I'd say Silver-Belle, but it's a boy -.-;

Looks like it is Bold nature? Could be a decent Vaporeon, Umbreon or Glaceon.

Unless you plan on renaming it, you should probably decide what it's going to grow up to be first :)

List for ease:

1. The ralts has my OT, i can nickname it etc.
2. The language tag shows Germany (the tag isn't by where the game is from, it's by the language the game is set to apparently)
3. The game counts it as being from my region making it incompatible for Masuda.

So the tag means nothing in this case.

Yeah apparently it is like that. i personally wont make a shiny ralts run myself, because i know i will probably end up with a male ralts.... and gallade is bad even when compared to regular gardevoir...

WonderfulWhiscash December 5th, 2013 11:40 AM

So many mukking tyrunts... not got one yet unfortunately

MidknightBlu December 5th, 2013 12:49 PM

Despite the risk of getting a male Ralts, I personally believe it's a lower chance. I've been getting about a 3/4 ratio of hatching females to males. Might just be me, however.

PlatinumDude December 5th, 2013 12:53 PM

I got a shiny Mawile via Masuda Method a few days back. It didn't have the IVs I wanted, so I chose not to use it.

skittykirkland December 5th, 2013 1:13 PM

im on my 14th bonsly egg and still nothing

Altair December 5th, 2013 1:32 PM

I never bothered with the Masuda Method, but in this Gen I'll give it a go since the shiny rates have been halved, so it'll definitely be easier and less time consuming to hatch a shiny. I got a few Foreign Pokemon off the Wonder Trade I'll try out later...

Red_Spartan December 5th, 2013 1:52 PM

After trying the Masuda method to breed a shiny Charmander I filled 23 boxes and started releasing because I had no room left. After breaking the 1200 egg mark I stopped breeding strictly for shiny's and started breeding for IV's. On day two of IV breeding I got my shiny (ironically both parent pokemon were US). Crazy how these things work out. I want a shiny Froakie and a Shiny Tyrunt BAD.

I was lucky enough to end up with a shiny female ralts. But I quite like Gallade and I think it has it's place. It just doesn't have the fairy typing or mega evolution that Gardevoir has.

KostK2Boss December 5th, 2013 2:50 PM

Alright!!! I got a shiny Ralts! And the Gods of Hax were nice enough this time to make it a female one! Check this bad girl out:

and it does miss that broken pixelate.... which adds DAMAGE AND STAB... compared to that ability aerilate is so crap... poor megapinsir lol

MidknightBlu December 5th, 2013 3:28 PM

Anyone that complains they haven't gotten anything with an egg count under 500, just know it's a 1/1365 chance for each egg. Your chance does not grow with each egg you hatch. Some people have to only hatch twenty eggs, others have to hatch over three thousand. I'm currently on 1,486 Ralts eggs and haven't had any luck. :P

So far I've MM'd Eevee/Umbreon, Riolu/Lucario, Shinx, Zorua/Zoroark and a Ponyta I done for a girl I know.

Trying my luck with Electrike now, which has taken the longest by far.
Up to about 420 eggs now.

Sandslash Fan December 6th, 2013 4:01 AM

Finally! Got my shiny Sandshrew last night :)

I was only half paying attention (watching a dinosaur show on Sci channel narrated by Jeff Goldblum), and glanced down and there was Booger! I chortled in delight and scared my mother out of her seat haha

Not a perfect IV Pokemon, but she has Attack, Defense, Special Defense, and Speed... not too shabby for a Sandshrew/slash.

Jessie December 6th, 2013 5:27 AM

I got my Miltank after nearing 700 eggs late last month.

Last night I decided to randomly try for a Horsea because shiny Kingdra looked pretty cool...got it on my 7th hatch!

Then I decided to try my luck on a Houndour...got it on my 36th hatch!

Both were females, which is what I wanted. Not even sure how I got that lucky!

the fearsome gods of hatching hit me with powerful irony:
Shiny Magikarp:
base egg steps: 1280
Hatched in :22 eggs!
Shiny Eevee:
base egg steps: 8960
NOT Hatched in: 550+ and still dont have it
why on the world is this fair? it takes 8 magikarps to hatch an eevee..... XD

Pretty sure Eevee's are evil little things who take forever to get out of their eggs and refuse to hatch as shinies. EVIL.

You've gone a long way though! Don't give up! I gave up the Eevees after 3 or 4 boxes because they took SO long to hatch! But you've gone so far!!! You'll get one soon!

Thank you! I wont!
I actually use the following method:
I found an old 2 inches plastic figurine of Captain America on the shelf; i then decided to insert the little plastic shield under the analog stick to make my bycicle ride forever around lumiose tower.... my fingers will be a little happier now :3

Farore December 6th, 2013 9:42 AM

Nah, Eevee eggs are pretty quick to hatch as long as you use the level 3 Hatch O Power and a Pokemon with the Flame Body ability. Larvitars though...

I just got my second shiny Eevee myself, (first was also thanks to Masuda Method but was a total fluke. I was just starting the game, and simply wanted a modest Eevee...) so you can do it too! :D

I always use the Lumiose trick, and it seems to work for me : recently I got a shiny Marill, Goomy and Eevee, I'm currently working on Mareep.
