Shiny Charm and Masuda Method

That is the rate, yes, but that does not guarantee that you'll get a shiny in 413 eggs. Some people hatch 1.000 eggs without getting a shiny.
i.e. Me.
But I did it! I've hatched all 2100 eggs as pledged, and hatched a beautiful golden and blue Goomy, and of all eggs to hatch on, it hatched on Egg 1999! This is definitely the longest Masuda Method Hunt I have ever done (the previous record went to a Shiny Feebas at 1067 eggs), and I think I'll take a break from this breeding lark for now, at least until Summer. Thanks to all of you who showed your support for me, we eventually pulled through in the end!
Hi I just recently got the shiny charm, and I would like to help. I have currently hatched 780 eggs non-shiny charm. I'll record how many I hatch, and update once I get a shiny.
Been doing this on-and-off and recording my results, so you can add this to the list. Usually I use a foreign Ditto, but I took into account the times I had foreign parents received through WonderTrade.
My current total is 2090 eggs with 7 shinies. Better overall luck than most, although only had one or two shinies I'd really consider battle-worthy, and I've yet to receive a flawless Masuda hatch.

Eggs hatched : 52831 eggs
Shiny got : 93
Persona ratio: ~1/568
Lasted member: 31/31/31/x/31/31 Jolly Skorubi (x turn out to 20)
I wonder if my luck go bad because all the shiny i got lately all require more than 1000+ eggs to hatched which is quite a task

Maybe my definitions for "flawless" different than yours, but i do considering about 84/93 of them are battle-able
thats awesome. i meant perfect ivs in all 5 relevent stats. honestly seeing what you did inspired me to start doing this
I always used 6iv parents so the baby always have 5 perfect iv. Of course the "missing" IV play an important role to the performance of the pokemon. I rebreed several time because this missing iv is turn out bad as well
i saw what you had to go through with the charmanders! thats determination!
With me that's a nightmare i don't want to remember again, at least until the release of HA starter Jotho and Unova
About the Charmander, can't do a thing about it. I fell in love with Mega Charizard X in the first sight. A team with out him is out of question
I don't see why you need a 6iv parent, when you can use a 5 with the relevant attack.
The issue when using 5iv parents is that you have 40% of getting a 4iv (if one parent is 6iv), or 80% chance if both are 5iv, opposite than 0% if use both 6iv parents

Eggs hatched: 41
Shinies hatched: 1
Personal ratio: 1/41
Latest member: swirlix with the IVs 31/31/31/31/31/xx and ha. I'll go check the speed, but shouldn't matter too much since it has unburden anyway. My luck is insane with masuda method. Even without the shiny charm. I got froakie after around 50 and rotom after 4. I hope it stays.
Its speed is 8-9 IVs which is ok

Congrats man! We both broke our dry spell!
No azumiril yet, but funny story... I was using the other breeding daycare center for a pixilate sylveon for VGC and I got a shiny Eevee on my 10th egg. I am not sure if you want to count that because it was not part of my azumiril pledge, but... Yay me.
of my 5 shinies so far, 3 have been by accident haha. i know the feeling. seems like when im looking fir them, they never come. then when im breeding for a battle real quick, out they come
Well... It happened again... This time a balbasaur on my 14th egg. Better IVs then last time but still not what I wanted, so it's a trophy lol.
I suck at life. I mistakenly wonder traded my shiny bulbasaur while cleaning out my boxes...
