    As long as one of them is from a different region you get more chance. So foreign chansey or foreign ditto wouldnt make any difference. Not sure if foreign for both increases the chance or not but I dont think so.
    If both are foreign and from the same region, they are not considered for Masuda method, I believe. So a JPN Ditto and a JPN Chansey is the same as having your own. They still get the different Trainers Egg boost, however.

    Also, (I did skim read the previous posts, so sorry if I missed it if it was already mentioned) don't even bother trying to breed for a shiny until you get the shiny charm which, stacked with the bonus if the Masuda Method, ALSO increases the chance of hatching a shiny

    my shiny charm says it's for wild encounters, does it also increase the chance of shiny eggs as well?

  • Yes, Masuda Method and Shiny Charm together make the chance 1/512.

    thanks, I will try this. Now I just need to choose a pokemon I'd really like a shiny of. I got a Riolu by chance if you'd like a clone of him!? Was the first shiny I bred, has 6IV's as well and a dream ball so he's pretty cool, I did a give away but still have a fewq clones left. I was wanting to trade some shinies with you anyway, I can update my 6th gen list and Pm you it if you like!?

    Yes I would not be attempting it without the shiny charm.

    Wide Guard only works against spread moves. So if you use Wide Guard and your opponent uses something like Earthquake or Surf, all Pokemon on your side of the field will be protected from that attack.

    Is there any move that works like protect but that i can use it on my team pokemon?

    Exemple: On double battles, i want my mega-gallade to protect my kingdra while it uses focus energy
     

    Nah

    Stuff like Follow Me and Rage Powder will redirect attacks to the user and away from other Pokemon. So if you had like a Togekiss or something with Follow Me, it would cause all non-spread attacks to target it instead of Kingdra. You can also use Ally Switch to have your 2 Pokemon swap places, potentially letting Kindgra live long enough to set up.

    furthermore, if you're worried about priority such as Scrafty/Meowstic's Fake Out or Talonflame's Brave Bird, you can use Quick Guard to protect the user and allies during the same turn. It's really useful for maintaining Multiscale, Focus Sash, and general momentum conferred during set-up.

  • Thanks for your advice!
    I'm thinking about maybe usig a pachirisu or Jumpluff or maybe a Volcarona for a supporter for my kingdra. I really liked the combination of scope lens + focus energy. I can 1HKO many pokemon and 2HKO almost every pokemon out there.
    Pachirisu is world famous now, it can run Follow me and some other supporter moves. It is only weak to ground types, and with Ev's on the right place it can be hard to get down. I can even use volt switch so i have a free switch for a bulkier pokemon.
    Jumpluff has better base stats but i've never seen someone using it on competitive play,it can learn Rage powder, it can learn sleep powder, poison powder, toxic, leech seed or stun spore as well as damaging attacks such as acrobatics, giga drain ad u-turn for the free switch. However it is weak to 5 types (4x Ice), this makes it very vulnerable. i will maybe try this one if i can find a hoppip, just to see how it goes.
    Volcarona can also learn Rage powder and it's a much better pokemon than pachirisu and jumpluff, i may also give it a try. A set like Toxic, Rage power, Heat wave and giga drain may do the job too.

    What do you guys think?

  • How in Fallharbor town do I obtain Galladite? Serebii.net says only Fallharbor town and I've looked around everywhere.
