I need some help. I'm trying to hatch a shiny Zangoose, but the worst luck I have with shinies is when it comes to breeding. I don't fully understand how it woks there. I know the shiny value is set at some point, but when? Is it at the same time as the gender value (when the egg is made/the old man steps out)? or at the same time as the nature value(when you receive the egg)?
If the first one is right, then I have wasted a LOT of time. Anyway I just need to know the answer to the above question, to see if I'm better off wandering around route 114 for hours with my Illuminating Chinchou. Thx in advance :)
