    The chances per-egg? No. But you could probably say faster eggs = more eggs = more to hatch = more chance of a shiny. The RNG doesn't work specifically with time, and this gen's RNG is a little more complex than previous as well.

    Also, @ that Shiny Ralts. Solid NCIS reference, I approve.

    Nah, Eevee eggs are pretty quick to hatch as long as you use the level 3 Hatch O Power and a Pokemon with the Flame Body ability. Larvitars though...

    I just got my second shiny Eevee myself, (first was also thanks to Masuda Method but was a total fluke. I was just starting the game, and simply wanted a modest Eevee...) so you can do it too! :D

    I always use the Lumiose trick, and it seems to work for me : recently I got a shiny Marill, Goomy and Eevee, I'm currently working on Mareep.

    OMG I would never do a Larvitar...HA.

    The thing is, I do hatch my Eevee with flame body and hatching lv. 3, BUT I just guess I'm so impatient...when I do something with 5,000 egg steps (like the Noibat I'm working on now) I can get 5 eggs hatched before the 3 minutes is up for the hatching lv. 3 O-Power, which is what I prefer. :) If I do Eevee's, it takes a bit longer. I guess that's no excuse. :P

    The shiny value is determined the moment you receive the egg. All a shiny charm would do is increase the chance the shiny value of the egg you receive is your own ID, it would work the same way masuda currently does. Clock-generated doesn't seem to work the same way it does in the previous gens to my experience.

    • After countless hours i got MY SHINY EEVEE:
    here are some stats about the little guy:
    31 hp,attack,def, sp atk and sp. def(you may think 5 maxed ivs was luck but i must specify i had 2 parents with all ivs maxed... and i did want speed stat max to make an espeon ^^)
    sadly it doesnt have HA so i dont think it would make a good vaporeon.... the only choiche remaining is umbreon :) what do you think?
    EDIT: Just for the sake of giving the info: it was the 956th egg.....

    • After my long hatching spree to get my shiny Sandshrew (which I mentioned a few posts ago), I gave the two parents a well-deserved rest. The Day-care man had one last egg to give me before I was allowed to pick them up though. I kept it with me while I was EV training my new shiny and life was good. I wasn't trying to hatch it with any kind of urgency.

    It finally hatched last night while I was headed to the Battle Chateu.... Shiny! :)

    Do you have any tips for me on what build is better for my newly evolved shiny Synchronize umbreon?

    Yeah I hatched a shiny Jolly Charmander using the Masuda Method, surprisingly it had good IVs.
    It's a Charizard now and it is amazing but I haven't mega evolved it yet to Mega Charizard X because my cousin wouldn't give it back to me because Mega Charizard X looks so cool and he had Y which sucks.

    I hatched my shiny Charmander after a LONG time. I actually took a break and went to friend safari where i randomly came across a shiny Charmeleon, but when i went back to hatch the last few Charmander eggs i had, the first one was shiny, lol. MM has worked pretty well for me so far, working on Hoothoot atm as i really want a shiny Noctowl. I am willing to trade the shiny Charmeleon with a good deal, so if anyone would like it leave me a message.

    As I said a while back, I got a shiny Charmander... and now today I just got a shiny squirtle!<3

    Charmander took about 200 eggs. Squirtle took about 340.

    Although it wasn't a masuda method shiny, I somehow hatched a shiny Blubasaur a few days ago while chain breeding for Kangaskhan. It only took like 20 eggs too.

    I rather not hinder Espeon any further. My vote to Leafeon.
