Shiny Charm and Masuda Method

330 Mudkips and not one shiny. I'm beginning to despise his stupid blue face.

I hatched 2100 Charmanders before quitting and going into Froakies. After 150, I got my first shiny. But I think that the best time for you to give up is after you've hatched 600 of the desired Pokémon. But that's just me.

By the way, here are my numbers. And now I'm angry. And sad. Mostly angry. No sign of a shiny Squirtle for me. I still don't know what I will try to hatch next. But I'll get back to it tomorrow, Sundays are usually lucky for me.

Total Eggs: 7350
Shinies: 11

Charmander: 2250/1
Froakie: 150/1
Fennekin: 300/1
Eevee: 300/1
Goomy: 150/1
Treecko: 150/1
Honedge: 150/1
Torchic: 1200/0
Shuppet: 1050/1
Totodile: 300/2
Gible: 150/1
Gastly: 600/0
Squirtle: 600/0

Masuda Rate: 7350/11 = 668,18

You have quite a bit more patience than I. I am still working on Mudkip I haven't made much progress since I've been sleeping but I'm not giving up.
 
I think I got removed from the spreadsheet? My original post is #818. I had entered the first 2 batches (200 eggs, 1 shiny) and then I was too busy to breed for a while. I just finished a 3rd batch though! I don't want to just add myself again if I did something wrong though.

I haven't pledged some set total but I'm adding my results every 100 eggs I breed.
 
Update: 270 more fletchling eggs, no shiny.

Total 1800 eggs
3 shinies
738th shiny froakie
850th shiny tyrunt
1527th shiny phantump

Hahahaha, crap, it's been a while.
Anyways, 640 eggs and nothing so far. But like I said, not complaining until (maybe) if I hit the 1000 mark without a Shiny. I think the more annoying thing than the lack of a Shiny is how terribly slow I'm advancing. Welp.
 
Coming up at 600 and no shiny Mudkip in sight. :( I know I should be more patient but it's discouraging with high hopes as I have.

I believe the current odds are looking at 1/512, so you're not too far off there.

Update, 100 more eggs and no additional shiny for me. Total 1700 eggs, 9 shinies.
 
Yay, just got a shiny Gastly! And it's almost perfect. It just lost one point in Defense. But it's the best one I've ever bred!
