What is the best way to do this, ive been doing it by saving about 10 steps before it hatches the resetting if its not shiny, anyone got any better ideas.

Also how many times on average do you have to reset

Im not certain if this even works, like I dont know if the contents of an egg are pre-determined when you receive the egg. I just hatch a bunch of eggs.

helps if you have 2 eggs, reset your step counter, hatch it, then on the next egg, when you get to -10 of your previous total, save.

Walk the ten it will hatch, if not shiny restart as needed
