4th Gen shiny breeding. right?

[sandstone]

ive heard that if you breed a pokemon it gets its attack and defense form one parent and its sp attack ap defense and speed from the other, and that if you get all of these ten when the pokemon hatches at lvl one it will be a shiny.

is there any validity to this?

i know that in the original gold and silver the things that contributed to your chances of getting a shiny were different than the things in red and blue and from RSE. i think they took into account your name and things.

so does the ten-breeding work? do i have the steps correct? and in what version(s) does this method work?

im specifically asking for HG/SS because thats what game i have. but if it works for another gen that would be cool info to have.

IVs and EVs have nothing to do with shininess.
It's random. Completely random. The only thing that can help make the chances go up is using a foreign Pokemon and an American Pokemon, this is called the Masuda Method.

ive heard that too. but i wonder how there are sooooo many shinies out there if there meant to be so rare

RNG abuse. Look it up, they're trading from DP/P

yep, RNG abuse is the easiest way to get shinies nowaday, it is still challenging to do, it is just faster than having to chain for them.

I'm not the one to follow up on all the different breeding methods and how to hunt down shinies all the time, but I do know that all breeding questions fit better over here in the thread, Breeding Questions. So, please use that for all breeding questions. As for this, I believe your question has been pretty much answered.
