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

1512 Anoriths hatched...
I stopped and took a break for a month, I'm now up at 1512 eggs hatched and no shiny. Is that even possible? I mean I have the shiny charm and all! You'd think i would have gotten one by now. Oh well I'm still not giving up ._.
 
I'm back with another Shiny that I managed to hatch today.

[PokeCommunity.com] Has anybody gotten a Masuda Method Shiny yet?


Got myself a Shiny Zorua after around four on and off months of hatching eggs. I want to go after a Shiny Charmander next, but I don't have a foreign Charmander in my Pokemon X game. I have one in my Pokemon Y game, but I seem to have no luck with the MM in that game.

It's a 1 in 1,024 chance, I think, so yes - it's possible. Keep counting. You'll get there eventually, and maybe even get two in one batch!
 
I accidentally got a shiny Togepi with English Togetic and Japanese Ditto.

Now I'm ACTUALLY TRYING for a shiny swablu, using Japanese Ditto again. So far I've hatched 25 eggs, and I have a shiny charm. I'm really hoping I don't end up having to hatch 500 eggs for this thing but if I do, I frickin will
 
Nope, i've counted and counted and i've gone through more than 2000 eggs, currently at the time of this post i have hatched a total of 2,146 eggs. The foreign pokemon is a spanish ditto, I have yet to see a shinny Beldum.

I suppose in my case, Im very unlucky :)

Wasn't the chance 1/682? Anyway it is still quite possible that it takes this long to hatch a shiny (you can check the statistics of a geometric distribution with parameter 1/682). My longest turn to hatch a shiny was well above 2000 eggs, and yet my mean hatching time is quite close to the actual proposed chance :)

I've looked it up in the geometric distribution and under the proposed chance of 1/682, +- 96% would have had their shiny by now (And also 96% of your tries, so keep trying it is a matter of chance!)

Now I'm up to over 2,500 perhaps more. I don't think I even need to count anymore :( In the end I believe it is a waste of time trying to get a single Pokemon with an altered colour. Let alone if i get lucky enough to get it with any more than 3, 31IVs. Ill have to resume the hunt later on, because put simply the game says: No shinny for you Formula_Grande! :(
 
Just happen to hatch a shiny Scatterbug after almost 20 eggs while looking for one with a Timid nature for some 5-6IV breeding. Lol. It has Hasty nature with prolly 1 IV. Nothing to be excited about.
 
Yes, I hatched a Shiny Venipede in aout 10 eggs.
 
Would a Spanish Vulpix breeded with a English Ninetales considered as a combination for Masuda Method eligibility.
 
Ok thats good just saying I have hatched around 35 eggs up to this point (all vulpix) and no shiny yet. I guess keep on trying until I get at least one shiny vulpix.
 
I just managed to hatch a shiny Ralts! Took two boxes to do, which was much quicker than what I had to go through to get my shiny Absol. Unfortunately he has Trace rather than Telepathy, which was what I was after, but hey ho. Going to try for a shiny Rufflet next, I think.
 
Charmander on the 21st egg.

Froakie...countless eggs later, still no shiny. I mean HUNDREDS of eggs!
