Wichu posted a thread in order to determine the chance of hatching a shiny Pokemon using both Masuda Method's and shiny charm. Though in order to test the difference between the two, I think it is important to know the rate which shinies are generated in generation 6 using Masuda Method without shiny charm. He assumes that it is 6/4096 (or about 1/683) and it's a guess as good as any, but as far as I can tell there's no proof to indicate that the rate actually is 6/4096. The odds of getting a shiny with Masuda Method were increased from generation 4 to generation 5. Isn't it plausible that the rate was increased again in generation 6?
Rather than speculating about it, I wanted to hold a similar test. The rules will mostly be the same. I'm looking for volunteers to pledge the amount of eggs they plan to hatch, and then report back after they've hatched that number of eggs telling whether or not they've hatched shinies along with how many shinies they've hatched. Ideally I'd like to get to around 50,000 eggs hatched as well so we can be confident in the result, but I don't really have a set number in mind. The more eggs hatched, the more reliable the result will be.
It might also be helpful if the people participating included the regions of the parents they're using. Also, please include your total hatches/shinies in your latest post.
Again, this is only for people playing Pokemon X or Y who do NOT have shiny charm.
