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

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.
 
not yet, but I'm trying for a shiny Honedge.
but I have a Shiny Tentacruel from a random encounter.
 
I just hit box 31... and 650+ eevees already boxed... i had to start the soft resettign method now.... whis me luck!

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! :)

WHAT.THE.HELL!
Do you have any tips for me on what build is better for my newly evolved shiny Synchronize umbreon?
Foul Play and Heal Bell, as well as Snore, are gone...
 
YES!!!! I finally got my shiny hawlucha, i decided to finish up the box i had with them today and the 1st egg i got had shiny hawlucha!

What is the nature? I went with the typical build for mine (Toxic, Payback, Moonlight, Curse)

Ahaha It s a Bold eevee (31 IVs in attack.....),so i was considering toxic, mean look, echoed voice and dark pulse .(but i do have wish, yawn and curse avallable) whatdo you think?
 
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.
 
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.
 
so here is my 2nd shiny eevee :
x/31/31/31/31/31, ADAMANT nature, and its got HA this time
you know the sad part? i removed everstone from my couple to secure speed to an espeon with a power ankle.... AND THE BABY WAS ADAMANT...... what do you think i should do? go for the first +atk-def espeon ever or evolve it in leafeon or flareon?

I rather not hinder Espeon any further. My vote to Leafeon.
 
Trying for Tyrogue, got a 4IV Japanese on from the GTS, now it's a hitmon lee. I even have a Ditto with good IVs to breed with and to top it off they get along!
No more waiting 5 minutes for an egg!!!
