You're not doing anything wrong. It's all by chance. Though we've recently noticed if you switch out your parents every so often it helps. :) good luckI just hatched 900 Froakies with a Japanese Female Froakie and my own Ditto. None of them were shiny. I have to wonder if I'm doing something wrong :l
I'm going to try switching my Ditto for a Male English Froakie, but I doubt I'll get anything.
Also: Hi, new user
Edited and updated :)Hi guys,
I'd like to contribute my findings on here. I got the shiny charm a few weeks back and have been breeding poochyena's. I'm doing batches of 330 due to having 11 boxes empty. Batch 1 and 2 both had 2 mightyena's. Male was german.
Batch 1 - no shiny
Batch 2 - 2 shinies. This 1 had an extra egg and the extra egg just so happened to be shiny :)
Batch 3 - 1 shiny
Batch 4 - 3 shinies
Batch 5 - 2 shinies
Batch 6 - WIP
1,651 eggs hatched.
8 shiny
Eggs #381, #661, #875, #1081, #1242, #1262, #1401 and #1561 were shiny
Batch 6 will be an absol and SPA 6iv ditto
How are you doing it Midnyte??? I'm so jealous of your great success xDEdited and updated :)
Updated Batch 6, 2 shinies.Ok so I contributed 810 to the other thread, but I finally unlocked shiny charm so Im going to start pledging eggs here. My intitial goal will be 3000 eggs, bred in batches of 300 eggs then hatched. I will use Kalos parents ONLY (pentagon). I usually hatch my eggs in random order, so I will state the box they are from but not the exact egg number. I will update shinies as they hatch here, and then enter my results in the doc once each batch is completed.

UPDATED 3/25/14
Updated my post. I was wondering guys, I've been collecting the eggs and hatching them as I get them, but I don't do it contiously cause of college, maybe I should try like many of you and just get all the eggs I'm going to hatch and then start hatching each box???Hello everybody, I just signed up, and I'd like to help with the research, I have the Shiny Charm and 6 IV JAP Ditto.
I'll do batches of 50 Eggs until I get I shiny; that means that if I get a Shiny at 204, I'm still going until I reach 250 (Batches of 50).
I'm starting off with these 5 Mons.
1. First batch: ENG Gastly + JAP Ditto (Total: 150 Eggs; 1 Shiny.)
- Hatched a Timid Shiny Gastly (31/x/31/31/30/31) at Egg #142, my first flawless shiny :D.
2. Second batch: ENG Froakie + JAP Ditto (Total: 750 Eggs; 0 Shinys)
- I went back to Froakies, but dang I did 300 more eggs and no shiny!!!
3. Third batch: ENG Fletchling + JAP Ditto (Total 300 Eggs; 1 Shinys)
- Hatched an Adamant Gale Wings Shiny Fletchling (31/31/10/31/31/31) at Egg#887, good enough for me :D.
4. Fourth batch: ENG Amaura + JAP Ditto.
5. Fifth batch: ENG Ralts + JAP Ditto.
Total Eggs: 1200.
Shiny Count: 2.
Im not sure really. I think it may have to do with my iv breeding. Since I iv breed along with shiny breed I tend to switch parents alot when I get a higher iv female I likeHow are you doing it Midnyte??? I'm so jealous of your great success xD
4got to ask did you want the ice hp ditto? Or did you want me to give it to laturner92 1st?Updated my post. I was wondering guys, I've been collecting the eggs and hatching them as I get them, but I don't do it contiously cause of college, maybe I should try like many of you and just get all the eggs I'm going to hatch and then start hatching each box???
You can give it to laturner92 first :), I'm not giving up until I get that Shiny 5/6 IVs Protean Froakie. :D4got to ask did you want the ice hp ditto? Or did you want me to give it to laturner92 1st?
Does it have the GER tag at the top by the pokemons name?Question: is it the language setting of the game (set at the very beginning) that determines the language tag of a pokemon? or is it the location set on the 3ds that determines the language tag? I ask because I know 3DS's are region locked meaning you can only play cirtain Cartridges. And someone who lives in Switzerland Told me that they get American games and play in other languages.
I've been using a JAP pokemon for my medusa breeds and the last 5 times my shinies always appeared around the 300-450 egg range. Now I'm using a GER pokemon for the first time and it hass been over 2000 eggs with no shiny. But the person who gave me the parent is from Germany. So if they are Just using English games in German language, then will the parent sill produce the medusa odds?
Yep it's there, but if that tag only appears because the game setting is in German, then it might not have been a medusa eligibleDoes it have the GER tag at the top by the pokemons name?
As far as I know, as long as the tag is there it works for MMYep it's there, but if that tag only appears because the game setting is in German, then it might not have been a medusa eligible
uhm, i level all my pokemon in the battle cafe things in the big city, i give them the exp eggs and use an o-power for exp.This is the part of breeding with egg moves that I don't like. Have to find a pokemon that knows the move you want then make sure it's in the same egg group. With my luck it never is lol so when it's not and it's the only one you have then you have to find a poke that can know it and is in the same egg group then level it up. I'm going from level 1 to 49 right now :( on level 34. Takes forever without the audino ladies in the battle chateau
