Hey guys,
This method was posted around the internet for IV breeding about two or three days ago, but me and a friend have been using it to get our shiny Pokemon. He started before me and once he did this, he got his shiny Froakie. I just started this a couple of minutes ago, so no shiny yet. Anyways, lets get started!
Things you'll need:
**Video showing Lumiose City egg hatching spot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ET1s9hwEVm0**
-Desired Pokemon wanted in shiny form from your region, as well as a foreign Ditto or foreign same species Pokemon. For example, a Japanese Ditto and my own starter Pokemon from my Y version. (very important for higher chances at a shiny)
-Notepad (optional)
-Calculator (optional; you'll want one just in case you want to count how many Pokemon it took to get your shiny)
-Need to know how to soft reset (R+L+Select)
-Have beaten the Elite four and have access to Kiloude City (optional)
-Pokemon with Flamebody and hatch O-Power to speed up the process(again, optional)
Steps on how to do it:
1) Leave both of your breeding Pokemon at the Daycare Center.
2) Cycle around the Daycare Center until the man faces you and is ready to give you an egg. Stand in front of him and save. Do not pick up the first of five eggs until after you have saved your game (this is very important).
3) Pick up the first egg and dispose of it in your PC box (This egg isn't really needed, as it will always turn out to be the same after it hatches and you soft reset... You'll see what I mean after a few times of soft-resetting if you do decide to keep the egg.)
4) After disposing the first egg into your PC, make sure to get the other 5 brand new eggs from the daycare man. Fly to Lumiose City, and circle around the Prism Tower as seen in the video posted and hatch all of the eggs.
5) After you're done hatching the eggs, check for any shiny Pokemon. If none are shiny, then soft reset your game and do this all over again. The notepad is needed so that if preferred, you can write down the stats, abilities, and if not using an Everstone, natures of your Pokemon so that you can see that they do in fact change after every soft reset. Access to Kiloude City is needed for IV checking; you'll have more things to keep track of and see what IV's have changed from your last batch for more proof that this method does work.
With this method, you won't have to keep dumping babies after every batch of eggs into your PC; In fact, you won't need to dump any babies at all if you understand how to do it right. If you guys need any further explanation of any step or are having difficulties doing this, simply PM me or post on this thread for help!
tl;dr: Put your breeding Pokemon inside the daycare (one foreign and one native to your region), save in front of the daycare guy as he's about to give you an egg, get the first egg after you've saved and put it into the PC. After that, get five fresh eggs and hatch them. No shiny in that batch? Soft reset; every time you soft reset, the offspring inside the egg will be different if done correctly.
Happy hunting! :)
