6th Gen Has anybody gotten a Masuda Method Shiny yet?

The masuda method makes so you have a better chance to get a shiny, ut you dont need to keep the pokemon if you dont want to, people that say that they have X boxes of pokemon just havent wonder traded or relesead them yet
 
Congratz to everyone who got shinies, and good luck to all those trying.

I have about 13 or so pokemon I want shiny so I've decided to hatch one box of each mon switching them out in the Day care until I get a shiny. Because you can only hatch so many Froakie before you start to hate it. :D
At the moment I'm hatching Pumpkaboo.
 
I want to start masuda methoding for a shiny Zigzagoon, now that I got my shiny Umbreon. I remember getting a shiny Zigzagoon from an event in ....Emerald? But I don't have it anymore, so I'm gonna try to breed one for nosalgia's sake

Does anybody know if you HAVE to breed with a pokemon from your own game(mines UK) and a JPN Ditto, or could i breed say 2 foreign pokemon not from my region? Could i use a Ditto from my game with a foreign pokemon? My most succesful way of acquiring shinies has been through chain fishing (Magikarp, Skrelp, Horsea, Chinchou), got Pancham through Pokeradar and Wingull and Pawniard from horde encounters. But, apart from a VERY lucky shiny Bulbasaur, MM is proving to be extremely stressful so far.

Two foreign Pokemon will work fine, as long as they have different tags. If you have a UK game, you could breed a KOR and JAP, a FRE and GER, a JAP and SPA, ect ect. It will work fine. They key is the two parents only need to have different tags (no tag is considered a tag for the sake of simplicity, so a no-tag + any tag will work)

....

For those saying hatch 5 and reset, that works. But I prefer to box all my reject babies and either send them to Wonder Trade or mass release at a later time. The reason I box instead of 5-and-reset is steps. There's a man in one of the Pokecenters (one of the ones in Lumiose I think) that will trade PokeMiles for items. Two of the items on his list are Rare Candy and PP UP. I'd rather box a bunch of babies and rack up PokeMiles and trade them in for some RCs and PP UP than keep resetting the game! Once I stockpile a bunch of each, I may even start giving them to Wonder Trade fodder and give some people a happy little surprise. Everybody likes Rare Candies and PP UPs!
 
I have a question about the Masuda Method, does the Ditto have to be foreign or is it just one foreign Pokemon? Cheers!

As long as at least 1 pokemon is foreign the method will work. Ex. A Jap Wartortle and a U.S Wartortle will work, or a U.S Ditto.

Okay cheers, I'm working to get a shiny Honedge for my team at the minute.
 
Third box of Beldum and none so far >_<
 
I just got a Smeargle through masuda.
Unfortunately, It only had two good ivs.

By hatch 5 and reset, you mean hatch 5 that you collected then just soft reset and hatch the same eggs again until a shiny hatches? Does this actually work. As iv just kept hatching and placing in boxes til i got my Bulbasaur and Zorua.
 
I haven't done it myself but the method is, you go to the DCM and save. Collect 5 eggs and hatch them. Not what you want? Reset to your save, reject that first egg (because the first egg is always the same in terms of being shiny or not, if it's not you obviously don't want to take that egg), collect the next 5 and hatch them. Rinse and repeat.

But like I said, I'd rather rack up PokeMiles by not resetting my game every 5 hatchings because I can trade the 'Miles in for items I want.

I may be wrong but I don't believe so. Everything about what you're gonna get is determined the moment you get the eggs, so it's better to save -> get 5 eggs and hatch them -> nothing good then reset. But personally I stack up a box of eggs before hatching.

Yeahhh that's what i prefer to do. I wonder trade everything after my shiny hatches.
 
100 Froakie eggs, nothing. Continue in from my previous 900, so I have reached 1,000. I'm growing rapidly impatient...
 
I have been breeding hawlucha, hatched over 280 with no shiny. I hope it shines soon. Wish me luck! Good luck also to all hunting.
 
Started my X over and attempting to SR for a shiny Froakie, though after two days of resetting I'm thinking of just saying screw it and finishing the game. :p
I never knew hunting for shinies could be so... Difficult.
