The thing is, what people don't get is, this is Probability. Every single egg people hatch has 1/4 of a percent chance of being shiny. That's .25 %. People see the 1/456 and think that means that 1 of 456 eggs will be shiny. This is wrong. What it actually means is, for every chance there is for your egg to be shiny there are 455 chances that it will not be. You can have great luck and hatch 3 shinys in a row or you can have a streak of bad luck and get 2000 eggs with no shiny. As long as you keep trying, you will EVENTUALLY get a shiny.

Sorry! You're on it now! I'll get back on this evening and update it again. Got everyone so far
An update to post #1015 I have now hatched all 300 of my pledged eggs with no shiny. Will do another 300.
Crazily enough my trainer shiny value is also 1015, so hopefully that is a good omen?

Half of 1015 is 507 or 508... so maybe.. Good luck!
unfortunately i didnt get a shiny with the number i pledged
Don't worry, you'll eventually get one :)
update to my other post (too lazy to check the #)
840 eggs hatched, 1 shiny (adamant, moxie heracross 31/31/31/31/31/31) SO pumped for it
my NEW goal is to hatch a shiny for every Mega Evolvable pokemon (heracross got me inspired)
i already have a shiny gengar which i hatched before this thread was made

Don't give up ^^ Took me 375 before I could get mine!
Took me about the same amount to get my 1st shiny too. Just keep going you'll get 1 eventually and they are worth the wait. ;)
Update to my post last page (can't tell post number I'm mobile)
900 eggs hatched. Still 1 shiny

does it affect the data if ever i breed something that is not different countries for awhile?
if it does i'll just continue with the masuda to not break my streak
