    • These numbers... So many lv. 1 Eevees and Inkays and others... I haven't had any luck with the method at all. Probably because I give up too quickly. Don't have time for that many eggs :P

    I honestly only hatch 10-30 at a time. I either take the parents out and IV breed some other kind of Pokemon, or I play some other portion of the game and come back to it later (usually taking them out of day-care then as well).

    So far I've hatched three (technically four, I had two shiny Sandshrew) shiny Pokemon using Masuda Method, and it hasn't taken 100+ at all (well, maybe my Sandshrew took that many).

    Not sure if taking the parents out and putting them back in later resets some kind of counter, but my superstition has me doing this now :)

    • Trying to hatch a shiny 5IV Ralts. I hatched a shiny one at my 70th-something egg, but it only had 4 perfect IVs and 0 Atk IVs, which admittedly was by no means a bad IV spread but I wasn't satisfied.

    I've almost hatched 500 Ralts eggs, still not giving up. haha

    I wish I could find a ditto from another country, I could really use it. I'm using an american ditto, should I just give up? Or do I have about the same odds as everyone else?

    • Going back and forth trying to hatch 5IV Sandstorm Scatterbug. 4 boxes and no luck so far; I guess I shouldn't complain until I get to 40 boxes.

    Does anyone know whether the Shiny Charm stacks with MM? I've been trying to read up on in and apparently the English description says "in the wild" but the Jap is different?

    • Hopefully I will be contributing to this thread tomorrow. Should have the shiny charm in about 45 minutes and got some pkmn lined up for mm breeding already, hope it does stack. Maybe I should research before I try haha

    If the other pokémon you're breeding it with is foreign, then your American Ditto will do fine. If your other parent is American, then you would get a shiny a lot faster with a foreign Ditto.


    My girlfriend used a 2 IV foreign ditto and bred 7 shinies so far with M-Method. I have yet to breed even 1 shiny with the method though. I've recently obtained some 6 IV foreign dittos though so hoping the breeding works out on my part here shortly. :)

    My Volcarona was the same. She has HP/Def/SDef/Spd, but still pretty good since she can buff up with Quiver Dance. I wasn't even really trying to breed her as a shiny (was still in the process of IV breeding with a lucky JPN region poke) so it was a pleasant surprise.

    • Can anyone find any evidence on whether or not the shiny charm effects masuda method. I know smog on is attempting to hatch 50,000 eggs to determine it, but they said serebii has stated that the Japanese text isn't the same as the north american: specifically the " in the wild " part, ive also read that the Japanese text for the shiny charm isn't changed from bw2 description. If it is only in the wild I am mad disappoint. No perfect IV shiny team for me I guess.

    • Question!

    Question #1: If I remove Greninja that I want a shiny off of, and put him/her back into the daycare with a Jap Ditto, will that mess up the probablity or reset it?

    Question #2: What if I used a Froakie that was hatched from an egg that Greninja had in place of Greninja in the daycare, will that give me a different probablity or luck for a shiny? Or would it still be the same as Greninja?
