At 530 Arons. None with the magical sparkle.
The new world order is coming along smoothly
The Aron are growing restless as they eagerly await their shiny leader.
We are one, we are many.

I got a Shiny Aron from breeding a French Ditto and an English Lairon when I was trying to get one for my dex. I'm not sure if I'll ever mass-MM to get specific shinies though. If I do, it might be for thing which I already have shinies of and would like to see them with better natures/IVs. (Another Aron, the Red Gyarados from HGSS, etc.)

I feel obligated to post here, because...

I tried doing the two things I've heard people say make shinies more likely, and I got two shinies within about 50 eggs. This is what I did: Every time I turned on my game to hatch eggs, I would first go to Le Nah and tip

10,000. Then I'd go back to the daycare and take the parents out, then put them back in (first reteaching any egg moves if they forgot them).

Then voilà. I got two shiny vulpix. The first one I only got after about 30 eggs, it had everything I didn't want: Male, flash fire, with no perfect IVs in special attack. So I decided to keep trying, especially since that one took so fast. I redid the Le Nah and taking parents out/putting them back in, and got a shiny within about another 20 eggs. This one was female, had Drought, and had perfect IVs in everything but attack. [: I'm so very happy with her (though I just learned smogon bans Drought in anything lower than OU... booo)

Don't know if this stuff really works, but it definitely worked for me. >.<

Note: I do not have the shiny charm, and I've hatched four shinies before this, all taking me between 1,000 and 2,000 eggs individually.

EDIT: Here are pictures :D

Well, I just hatched my first ever Masuda Method shiny - by complete accident! I have a Japanese Ditto with good IVs that I have permanently placed in the Daycare, so I suppose it was bound to happen sometime, but this was literally the first egg

EDIT: I forgot to mention what it was! It was a cute little red-eyed Aron :)

Yes! I got a shiny Froakie after about 1 1/2 to 2 boxes. I evolved him all the way to an awesome black Greninja.

Awwww yeah guys!!!!
I'm amazed once again, at this late evening (at least here in The Netherlands) I just hatched my so-long-desired-adorable Shiny Charmander (female OMG)!! :D Brave nature, the way I wanted it to be (mother got an Everstone)! <3 :3

I know ofcourse a lot of people hatched a Shiny Charmander for themselves, but I really wanted a Shiny Charmander since the Gen.2 series, but I was too young at the time to have the patience and persistence AND it was impossible for me, ever, to get a JAP Pokemon to breed it with ;) So I'm SUPER happy about it!! (and it's a female, this is the best!)

Took me: 3 days and 532 Eggs, *with the Shiny Charm
So that's my second Masuda Method shiny since I obtained the charm ;)

To everyone else out there, good luck and keep it up!! ;)

Politoad
2 porygon Z
Milotic
11 eevee's ( took me and my friend forever but I wanted all the evolutions

It's all about luck and if only they all took as long that it took to get my shiny bagon)

I'm trying to MM a Ryhorn... the parents have egg moves, so hopefully I'll have a shiny Ryhorn with the elemental fangs and Metal Burst. Not sure if I want Lightning Rod or Rock Head yet...

I have now hatched 403 Eevee's and don't yet have a shiny. Someone gave me a shiny Politoed, but that's the only shiny I have ever come across personally. I'm DYING to get my own!

I have!

I was breeding a female U.S. Malamar with a male Japanese Greninja and eventually got a shiny! The funny thing is that I didn't even notice I had bred a shiny Malamar until I was about to trade it on Wonder Trade! I noticed it was a different color than normal and IMMEDIATELY turned off the game before the trade could go through! Unfortunately, I don't know how many eggs it took to get it, but it had to be give or take 100.

Masuda Method works great!

I haven't invested much time into breeding recently as I've been preparing a team of max IV's and EV's but I did a few months ago hatch a shiny Honedge after 60 eggs and a Skarmory after 500+ eggs. Honedge has max HP, Sp. Att and Sp.Def IV's which isn't bad after only 60 eggs XD

I've been breeding for a shiny dedenne... I've gone though 9 boxes and counting, still nothing. I have 2 more boxes I have to hatch still so hopefully I'll get lucky.

Hey guys, well, yes here is yet another person breeding for this one, but I just hatched my Shiny Eevee! :D I'm super happy about this, I already have another Shiny Eevee from my White2 game, but I guess I'm just a perfectionist and wanted a Kalos-bred Eevee, with me as the original trainer ofcourse :3

It hatched only on my 28th Egg, male, Adaptability and with a Modest nature! <3
This is already my third hatched shiny since I obtained the Shiny Charm, it really works for me! And I'm really happy about this! :D

So now I have (breeding with the Shiny Charm + MM):
- Amaura (7 Eggs)
- Charmander (532 Eggs + Everstone)
- Eevee (28 Eggs)

I think I will go for some other starters next, using the Masuda Method ofcourse, starting with Squirtle. ;) Guess I'm taking a little break now from breeding, train my final Shiny Team now and do some investigation around horde battling, random encounters and the Pokradar since obtaining the Charm. ^_^

To everyone else: good luck! You will get there!

I've never tried getting a Masuda Method Shiny yet. But since I completed my Pokemon in my Pokemon X game, I'm going to try my luck and get a MM Shiny in my Pokemon Y game. I got a Japanese

from Wonder Trade and I put it in with a recently caught

. I only have hatched 4 eggs so far and it's still early days for me.

But I do have a question for all of you who have TONS of Pokemon that you hatched in your mission for Shiny Pokemon? What do you do with them all? Put them up for Wonder Trade, send them all into Pokemon Bank or release them?

I usually just release. Or bank. Releasing is fastest way to get rid of them if you don't have bank though.
