Shiny Charm and Masuda Method

I had to do 800 twice to get a shiny so 410 is only half that. In order to get the bank legends, you have to legendary chain. put up your legendary and ask for another legend. Then keep putting it back up and asking for another one. Thats how you get them all
I have an Uxie you can use to legendary chain if you'd like. I already have the Shiny Charm, so I don't have a use for it. However, Pokebank was just re-released in Japan, so it probably won't be long until the UK and US get Pokebank, too. :) Just PM me your friend code if you'd like the Uxie.
Um, dude, my average is about 500 - 600 before a shiny. lol I had to hatch about 1k for my honedge. Keep going, you'll get one eventually. Some people had to go until 1,300 before they got theirs (Bad luck lol)
EDIT: I don't know if you guys have been following Pokebank, but it was released in Japan yesterday! A release for the rest of the world may be on its way soon!
Edit: Nevermind, LilStarcon just said that lol

LOL But it's worth mentioning again! Just hoping it doesn't take too long for us to get it.
Still no luck with hatching shinies, but I figured after seeing everyone else's results, it would take awhile. :( I just want a shiny Ralts!
Who's sal? And how did he somehow manage 4k eggs -.- ?
I was wondering the same thing...
Just noticed Pokébank is back up in some countries. I think I'll wait. Thanks, anyway! :)
Yeah, I see what you mean. On the bottom someone put a "9" in the shiny field, without filling anything else out. That was messing with our total; I was wondering why the ratio was so low
I also noticed some other stuff, which I fixed by comparing it to the hard copy.
It just makes me wonder why some people just have to be so immature as to want to ruin other people's hard work. It's just really annoying.

There is a backup.
Ok, so the spreadsheet we're working on is at:

And the first 50k (Our initial target goal) is at:

You can update the field that has your name; I already added it for you, along with the most up-to-date egg/shiny count of yours that I could find. You just have to poke around for it, but it should be ranked with the other contributors. I think you were in the 500 egg range.

Updated post 375, in another shiny drought.
I just finished hatching my third set of 200, bringing up my total to 600, still no shinies. I plan to hatch yet another 200 eggs though.
I asked this same question earlier only to get a response basically saying that we're not really confident that 6/4096 is actually MM rate without shiny charm. I thought it was a fairly important question so, I just made a thread to test the original MM rate in Gen 6. http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/masuda-method-without-shiny-charm.3498379/

Ughh now I have to go an whip out my other game and do another 2k eggs.... Thanks alot (Half sarcasm) lol
Guys! I just got a shiny! I did another 2 boxes today so the total would be 480 eggs! I got 1 shiny and 2 6IV gastly on that number. But daaaamn! It's a female 5IV with x-speed. I don't like my pokemon being female. It would've been okay if it was male and no speed or a female with no hp or attack but no! What I got is a FEMALE and X SPEED! I'm thinking of going for another again but I'm afraid of the odds being female again. I know this is a small issue. Can you guys put some sense on me? Lol. I need to be convinced.
I'm not great with statistics stuff, but isn't the whole point of this spreadsheet to find out the chance with MM & SC? Since we already know the chance without SC, we don't need to test without the SC.
The no-SC MM rate in XY is already known (IIRC), so why would it be neccessary to conduct research without the charm? Sorry if I misunderstood you, I'm kind of tired atm ; _; @edit; ninja'd!
On another note, my goal of 1000 has been completed! I'm probably going to pledge another, but need to take a break from staring at a 3DS screen 24/7 first, ahaha.
