    Hey so I know this request is annoyingly specific but if anyone happens to have this Pokémon I would be very grateful!

    I'm currently trying to hatch a shiny Cutiefly with the ability shield dust. I currently have one of those shiny cloned dittos used for breeding and a Ribombee with everything I want. However, I've found that the ability honey gatherer is too common in the offspring and therefore it's too risky to breed for a shiny with the pair. Therefore, I'm looking for a Cutiefly or Ribombee with the ability shield dust that is from a region other than North America (for Masuda Method) I believe this will increase my chances for the offspring I want (unless I am wrong, then feel free to inform me if any other method is better)

    I don't know exactly what to offer for such a request, but I have a good amount of Pokémon from different regions that I can offer (although I can't guarantee they have good ivs or anything) I also have a shiny Marenie and Corsula. However, these Pokémon were found unintentionally and aren't competitive material (maybe the Marenie, which is adamant)

    Edit: I can offer one of the timid, shield dust Cutieflys I have hatched so far. They have around 5ivs

    You can use an ability capsule to switch honey gather to shield dust if you need to.
     

    Ability inheritence isn't decided by region! The offspring has a 80% chance on getting the mother's ability, so if your parent has the wrong nature, you can just switch the parent.

    For Shiny Breeding, as long as the parent has a different language tag than your Ditto, region doesn't affect the chances either. Assuming you have Jagold' JPN Ditto, and your game isn't japanese, you have the correct Masuda Method odds :)

    Thank you for the response!
    I actually hatched a Cutiefly with everything I wanted a while after making this post...I would have actually deleted this post by now but idk how honestly heh
    Thanks for the information though! I'll make sure to remember it for the future.
