    Been doing this as a late, so i figured i bring it up whats the longest it took you to hatch a egg? Mine was 234 eggs.
     
    In Pokemon X using Masuda Method without Shiny Charm I hatched Shiny Eevee after around 40 boxes. That would be around 1200 eggs.
     
    As much as I'd love to have myself a shiny Marill that I could evolve into an Azumarill, I just don't have the patience for trying to breed for a shiny Pokemon. Maybe one day I'll buckle down and give it a try, but I'm thinking that may still be a ways off.

    And since this is about the games rather than Pokemon as a whole, I'm going to bump this over to Pokemon Gaming Central for you.

    MOVED.
     
    Well, the only shiny that I successfully bred, a Noibat, took me 174 eggs. I haven't really done any other attempts at shiny breeding, so there's just the one.
     
    I've been able to breed 3 shinies so far (1 male Combee and 2 Panchams) and between the 3, the first Shiny Pancham took the longest which took me a total of about 273 or 298 eggs (I did a batch of 25 earlier and released them all before the official count and I can't remember if I added them to the count or not.)
     
    1,028 eggs for Shiny Vanillite (before Shiny Charm) in X. I actually hatched even more than that if you count the half a year I spent trying on Black Version to no avail.

    Over 1,362 eggs and still didn't hatch a Shiny Tyrogue. Gave up and chained one in Platinum.

    I hatched 3 Shiny females before it, but it took 1,125 eggs to get a Shiny male Burmy (after Shiny Charm, I think). Those females almost made me rage quit (since I was aiming for a Shiny Mothim).
     
    Call me impatient, and I'd agree..
    I tried to masuda method breed me a dream Onix who's shiny and adamant nature..and gave up around egg 150 something...

    Omega Ruby doesn't like me when it comes to shiny hunting.. I got my first shiny (ever) very quickly in X (after I gave up the masuda method), but in Ruby, a fish chain of over 200 isn't worthy enough for a shiny Wailmer..
