Shiny Charm and Masuda Method

It's been a while but I finally got around to hatching another batch of eggs. Out of 100 eggs hatched, I got a shiny Ponyta on egg #45 bringing my personal total to 2/400. I've already updated the spreadsheet and shall continue to do so for any more progress I make.
 
Ok I managed to hatch 30 eggs throughout the entire day while at work. Updated the spreadsheet and no shiny for this batch of 30 eggs. Breeding 6 iv JPN ditto with an American 5 iv whimiscott now.
 
*Has the Shiny Charm*
Pledging 200 eggs, adding to spreadsheet:
JPN 5 IV HONEDGE x ENG 5 IV HONEDGE

EDIT:
Decided to take a break from Honedge. May come back if I feel like it. On another note, shiny Froakie at Egg #56!

100 eggs, no shiny.

I'll be updating my post #472 when I hatch a batch of 100 eggs.

EDIT: Shiny Squirtle at 167th egg!!! too bad it's missing the HP and Def IVs, but w/e, will continue to 200 and then change the Pokemon.

EDIT2: Updated post #472

Sorry, haven't had much time lately for egg hatching. I will be hatching more though, as I'm going to be trying to get a shiny Pangoro for my friend soon (I have another friend who's giving me a perfect shiny charizard :D)
 
Updated post #462 and spreadsheet.

Edit: Updated post #462: Obtained shiny on egg 930.

Some results:

JAP 6IVs Ditto x ENG 6IVs Rotom

Batch of 150 eggs: no shiny

When I'm using a 6iv ditto or a couple from diferent species, I often confront a long shiny drought (my shiny ratio is like 1/600 eggs)... Very disappointing. So I decided to increase my flawless japanese pokemon collection and use them in my breedings. Got a perfect quiet honedge and tried this desperately:

JAP 5IVs (0 speed) male Honedge x ENG 5 IVs (0 speed) female Honedge

Batch of 100 eggs: shiny at #56. (31/31/25/31/31/0)

It happened again! This is the Fifth time I get a shiny at <#100 using a couple with the same species. 3 times for this research (Gligar, mawile and now honedge). I want to believe that not using ditto increase your chances someway, I'm tired of shiny droughts, so I'll be using same species couples for the rest of this research. Some of you may say ditto doesn't affect, but my shiny trend says to me that something is happening there, not just random bad luck with dittos. Besides, 6ivs dittos are all hacked or generated by cheating, I really hate and don't trust that kind of pokemon :p

finished pledge, updated post #136 and google doc.

2000 Eggs / 4 Shinies / Personal Chance: 1/500

glad i could help you guys do some research but i can't do it anymore. keeping track of how many pokemon i hatch that aren't shiny drives me insane. best of luck with the rest of the numbers!!
 
I'm not sure what's going on with the spreadsheet, but someone messed with mine... all of the information is wrong next to my name. Fixing it now.

Finished hatching my 3rd batch (201-300), no shiny. In the middle of hatching my 4th batch.

EDIT: Updated post 349. Finished the 4th batch (301-400) with no shiny to be found. I'll be taking a break for a couple days; will post when I complete the fifth batch.

EDIT again: When I went to go update the spreadsheet with my fourth batch, all of the information by my name was messed up again. It's fixed as of right now, but I think someone's either messing with the spreadsheet, or putting their information by the wrong names.

After taking a break from MM SC breeding to get some more 6IV parents for shiny breeding, the first egg of my new batch of eggs hatched a shiny Buneary. ;_; This happened while I was being distracted watching anime, too. Imagine my face when I look down to see a pink-furred Buneary in all of it's majestic beauty. Sure it's missing a perfect 31 IV in Defense, but aside from that it's Female, in a Love Ball, has Run Away, and has the Elemental Punches and Fake Out as egg moves. It's the ideal candidate for remaking my Diamond team. At long last, the shiny drought has ended.
 
I did two. I did 200 eggs for phantump and hatched 1 shiny at egg number 58, I also did 200 eggs for Cyndaquil and hatched a shiny on egg number 129. Working on a couple other ones, not sure if this will help or not.
 
Updated post #462 and spreadsheet.
I'll also be taking the liberty of removing that unneeded giant picture of eggs...
 
I've hit 2000 eggs now and I'll be taking a break from MM breeding. Perhaps after a week or two I'll extend the pledge again to 3000.

Edit: the Fennekin I deposted in the daycare is now level 71, damn...

do i have to pledge eggs in advance to be able to participate in submitting the data? :o cause i have already hatched (nearing 2000) with the shiny charm and MM, recording stuff personally!
 
Im going to Pledge at least 450 Eggs of Deino's with a Foreign Ditto and Local Deino with Shiny Charm.

Ill report back every 150:

Batch #1: 150/150 - 0 Shinies
Batch #2: 150/150 - 1 Shinies
Batch #3: 150/150 - 0 Shinies
