I've actually only hatched one, I apologize if my signature is misleading. (It was the Absol- and it was after 300 eggs without the Shining Charm. The rest were from hunts outside of MM. I should specify that hehe)
I am aware of that- in fact I know the game mechanics like my life depended on it. I spend several years studying what I could of breeding for black and white, including learning the RNG (which helps understanding).
I really appreciate the advice! May I ask- What's your hatching strategy? I've tried two in particular:
* Collect 6 eggs, hatch and release
* Collect several boxes of eggs, hatch, check then release
I know I'll get it eventually, And I thank you so much for the boost of confidence. I really needed that, as I almost ended my eevee hunt last night, but I think I'll keep going! Thanks :)
OKAY! So.
*useless anecdote* I was just shiny hunting for jokes half to procrastinate on my essay. I found my first shiny in BW- Which is the first full odds shiny I have ever found (Without MM, FS, SC) I started to cry. I finished writing my essay, and the first encounter was shiny! I was so floored that I actually found a shiny on a game other than X.
I decided to take advantage of my seed, and continued to hatch my last batch of eggs before bed while I shiny hunted in W2 and B in the same location.
Guess Who I hatched on egg #1864?
(Luxury ball) Timid, Stored power/Wish/Covet/Synchronize, Run away, male
Personal rate: 1:1864
I'm crying so hard right now guys! I need to name him and evolve him and love him. AHHH!
Sadly, he has runaway instead of Anticipation... Which is okay since he has 5ivs with only speed missing
I'm getting onto another shiny hunt now! Thank you all for your help! :)
Next hunt:
Growlithe.
I pledge 1000 more eggs <3
