Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
So your saying I need a shiny from another region to breed with my foreign ditto? My ditto is Japanese. I also have a shiny that I caught ingame, well I think I have ...
I have also found it easier to breed than capture RNG, there is more to breeding but it becomes easier as you know you only have to worry about route 3 NPC's, if you want to capture where there is NPC's it is alot more difficult, I have not has of yet RNG'd a shiny at all but im planning to learn how to add in shiny breeding
