Odd of finding a shiny by breeding and getting the eggs...
 
I am desperate to find a shiny sneasel, they are so great, but I was trying to chaing and I kept messing up cuz it is snowy and hard to see...so I wanted to know if the chances would be the same, better or worse on getting a shiny by breeding...like I leave sneasel and a ditto in the daycare and keep getting the eggs until they hatch, I just don't want to do that if it's pointles...thanks for the answers in advance. :D If anyone has a shiny sneasel I am willing to give a level 70 giratina for it. :D

The chances for hatching a shiny are the same like for finding one in the wild.
Keep in mind that whether the Pokémon is a shiny or not will be determined when you receive the egg from the daycare man, not when you hatch it.

He means that once you receive the egg from the Day-Care Man, that that's the moment in time the game decides if it's shiny or not, not when it actually hatches from the egg. So you could have a shiny in the egg, but you wouldn't know because it's not hatched yet.

In other words, don't save the game before 1 step from hatching and reset because it won't work.

Wondering...Is this when you receive the egg or when the egg is 'made'? Too lazy to try.

The chances are really low. Just like catching one in the wild. Its almost imposible. But I hatched alot of eggs in my Emerald game and got a shiny Totodile http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpmfsa/dpmfsa158.png.

Probably not as many Bagon as I did....
3 full boxes. That's 10240 steps each, but halved because of Magcargo. :P
