Looking for a shiny flawless pinsir with return/swords dance/earthquake/quick attack. *cough* *cough* pokegen *cough*
Will give flawless Thundurus-I with Hidden Power Ice.
 
I am 1500+ eggs into my Masuda Method attempt at a shiny Magikarp (I will have that Red Gyarados godamnit) and still not one shiny. Am I just exceptionally unlucky, or is this kind of the norm? The only other Masuda Method I did was for my shiny Mawile, and that took 690 eggs.

What are you using as the parents? cos for the MM to work you need one of the parents to come from a foreign game. Also there's no magic number for shininess. Just general statistics so all you can really do is just keep hatching eggs and hope that you'll get lucky.

Oh, I know I have one 5Iv Japanese Magikarp and one 6IV US one... I am doing it right... just venting my frustrations more than anything.
 
That I don't have, I need to finish my dex still, I'll start working on the dex as soon as I finish this Masuda probably. How much of an increase does the charm give?
By a fair bit. just let me look it up and edit this post. I strongly recommend you get that first.
I never got a shiny from breeding over 1000 eggs before getting it. But after I got it I bred a shiny nidoran and scythe in less then 200 eggs. Its all luck, but the difference is significant

EDIT: it definatly affects breeding, http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Shiny_Charm

EDIT II: Masuda with shiny charm chance 1/1024, 8 times more likely than normal breeding, http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Masuda_method. Hope this helps
