Shiny Charm and Masuda Method

Alright I'm up to 1500 with no shiny since the Noibat. I think I'm going to switch just one more time lol. I'll pledge a thousand more on this one. Going for Pancham.
 
My Chimchar sucks, but I'll keep trying to get one. At least my numbers are better.

Total Eggs: 9000
Shinies: 15

Charmander: 2250/1
Froakie: 150/1
Fennekin: 300/1
Eevee: 300/1
Goomy: 150/1
Treecko: 150/1
Honedge: 150/1
Torchic: 1350/1
Shuppet: 1050/1
Totodile: 300/2
Gible: 150/1
Gastly: 900/1
Squirtle: 600/0
Cyndaquil: 600/0
Tepig: 300/1
Chimchar: 300/1

Masuda Rate: 9000/15 = 600

That's why I had to get 4 shiny chimchars lok the last 2 were amazing IVs. 31 in everything practically
 
To all the people that are breeding for competitive shinies,

What do you do with the leftovers?

Just curious.
I keep some of them. I usually end up with like 3~6 Pokémons with perfect setups and I keep like 2 or 3 6IVs. The rest? I release, it takes TOO long to get rid of them via Wonder Trade and I'm not patient enough to look for the ones I wanna breed in the future. I usually make my own competitive by cross-breeding with some 'mons I already have.

No, I meant with the shinies.

Like, some people have bred 4 shinies of x, or two of another.
EDIT: To make myself clearer [sorry, I have a cold >.>], you have two totodiles. I'm assuming you kept breeding after the first because you didn't like the iv spread/ability. What do you do with the other one?

EDIT#2: Another batch down.

I've started saving the best fletchling out of my batches for SV shiny hatching. I've got another 6IV with gale wings (still in egg), same as my breeding talonflame, as well as 7 5IV competitive ones, including one with 30 in sp.atk (1 point off from fully perfect), and another with 28 in sp.atk. Still no MM shiny though. :(

Total Hatched since last post: 225
Bred Shinies: 0 :(

Global Total: 989
Bred Shinies: 0 :(

I keep them. At least until now. I'm not interested in trading my doubles. And the Totodile case was different, I made 150 egs to no good, and then I was able to get 2 on the next 150 batch.
 
To all the people that are breeding for competitive shinies,

Just curious.

Keep the shiny with the best spread, store the rest for future trades. I have no intention to breed or RNG for perfect Hidden Power IVs ever again, so it is good to have trading options. I also keep most 6IV pokemon.

BTW, I hatched 90 froakies these last few days. No shinies. I'll probaly hatch some more today.
 
I needed a break after hatching almost 4000 eggs before getting my shiny Gligar, but it's time to get back into this.

I'm going to start working on a Shinx.
 
Well, i got my last and 3rd shiny Fletchling, and he also has Gales wings xD
sigh, 4ivs again, missing speed this time, but its outstanding. I will update
when i find out what his ivs are in speed.

Edit:
so update is he has 24 ivs in his speed witch is not bad :) but i wish it were
25ivs just so that he could out speed greninja on uturn.

I got lots of work done in the last 5 or 6 hours. I have hatched 180 eggs with no shinies. This brings the total to 0/450 on my torchic. I will do another box tonight to make tomorrow a day that I can just take a break from hunting. Be back with the next 90!

Oh Magnus, a question if I may? How are you checking TSV and SV's since Instacheck was terminated, are you using that KeySAV?

There're many ways to check egg values now. Powersaves, KeySAV and KeyBV are the main ones (I think powersaves are best for mass checking though).

Update:

Got another shiny feebas! My first shiny with a perfect spread, finally. :)
The ability is not right but I'll just fix it with an ability capsule so that's ok.

Total: 3510
Shinies: 7

Ah I see, maybe I'll try that KeyBV in my second game

Anywho, does anyone have a Klefki with Switcheroo or a female Yamask in a Luxury Ball?IVs and nature etc don't matter

I think I will start breeding them since I am running out of ideas
 
I got a shiny torchic in the last batch so I believe that makes my count 1/540! It is missing sp. def, which I can live with, and has speed boost with a jolly nature and baton pass. Now I just have to get a smeargle with belly drum and substitute and I am all set! I will start breeding for an amaura or a fennekin starting tomorrow.

Edit: I am actually going to be grinding for a Goomy. I am starting now at 0:00 and I hope to get 500 eggs done or 510 for a perfect box at the end. Wish me luck!
