I am about to cry. :@
tru dat!!!
 
Added and updated :) we reached our 2nd goal of 250,000 eggs!! Congrats everyone ^_^ the shiny to egg ratio was at 1:507 at time of goal. As suggested by both Drau and Quietus the new goal will be 500,000 eggs. Happy Hatching! :D
 
That's awesome Midnyte! I definitely wouldn't have the shinies I do if it wasn't for this thread, so thanks to everyone who helped make it what it is!

I had my unlucky streak broken this morning with egg #1301 being a Shiny Riolu! It's only missing Speed with a Jolly nature, so that kind of sucks, but it's the first one I've hatched with a matching ball (Ultra ball), so it's a bit more special to me.

Shiny Honedge @ 180
Shiny Ralts @ 361
Shiny Ferroseed @ 519
Shiny Riolu @ 1301

Overall Rate: 4/1320 = 1/330
 
Sigh...all of my shiny luck is being stolen by wild captures...another 2 found in horde battles (within 3 battles of each other)--another hoppip and a psyduck (nicknamed the second Blues in G :3). No new MM shinies though. :(

Current Shiny Count:
Shiny horsea @ 1303

Eggs hatched this session: 256
Bred Shinies: 0 :(
Caught Shinies: 2

Hello! I've been reading this thread for a while now and so I decide to make an account and start posting in on the thread. I don't know if it is too late to contribute, but I have started hatching shiny Pokemon in the hopes that I can. All of my Pokemon and their egg counts will be their individual count, at the end of the list I will add the total together and average them out to give my overall shiny rating. I also have the Shiny charm and I am breeding using a Japanese Ditto.

Shiny Roggenrola@ 483 eggs
Shiny Staryu@ 1099 eggs
Shiny Hawlucha@ 158 eggs
Total eggs counted for shiny hunt: 1740
Shiny rate 1740/3 or 1/580

Currently hunting for a shiny Charmander and will post again when/if I can ever get one. My hopes are still high.

Welcome to the thread! And good luck with your shiny charmander

On my end, just 86 eggs after the Torrent Shiny Froakie, Out Pops a Froakie with protean!
His Sp.attack isn't perfect (24) but he's Modest so that should give him a boost.

Now that I'm done with froakie I think I'll try my hand at hatching a shiny riolu before hatching for HA shinies again.

Total eggs hatched: 1151

Whoa! Thankfully it didn't take you very long to get a proper Froakie. Also, I wouldn't pay too much attention to 25IV's especially since competitive battling is done at lv. 50 and your IVs will effect your stat differently. To be precise if you are missing 6 points from perfect 31 I believe that means that the greninja's sp.atk will only be effected half as much so it is only 3 stat points from max sp.atk.

Thanks for the info! I know I feel really lucky! Thank goodness Riolu doesn't need it's hidden ability since I'll be mega evolving it.
Also while breeding for my Huge Power azumarill last week I hatched a shiny marill, it has thick fat and terrible IV's so it's pretty much useless but it's cute to look at. the floatzel I was breeding with was German but I wasn't keeping track of the eggs so I won't include it in my results, just thought I'd mention it.

I would just die if I hatched an egg only to find out it didn't have it's HA.
On the bright side Marill's have one of the fastest hatching times. I was originally going to try and Masuda a shiny Beldum for ORAS, but then I found out it's hatching time and it's 41 egg cycles I believe. Anyone who has enough determination to go 1000+ eggs for a pokemon with 10,000 step time gets a pat on the back from me. I once tried about 1,000 Axew eggs until I lost complete motivation and stopped... I don't even regret it one bit. Also to anyone else that reads this, by closing your 3ds and walking for 2,001 steps your O-powers can recharge twice as fast, stepping 3,001 steps recharges 3x as fast. Just a little thing I recently read about, so I don't know if anyone else knows about it. You can use Hatching Power many more times for those pokemon that take forever to hatch.

Isn't 2001 steps a bit less than 2km though? I always wondered about that, it seems a bit far to walk.
 
Congrats skiddo on your shiny protean froakie. I never get protean on the first egg. Have bred 4 and got torrent first each time :/ lol
On the other hand, just hatched my beautiful shiny horses :) 4ivs attack 30ivs and speed 20ivs which is amazing for me. Will be in my rain team as a kingdra.
 
Updated my first post, but sadly no new shinies. (Shouldn't have gotten so excited with the shiny so early on...) Currently halfway done with my pledge of 1200.

I don't think it's that much; between just going to work, coming home, and a 15-20 minute walk during lunch, I usually land between 4,000-5,000 steps.

Also, whoo! 500,000 eggs go!
 
I'd like to help out with this project. Although, since the shiny charm I haven't been hatching them under 1000. >_> Since I can't remember my Espurr count, I'll just start with input for Gastly.

925 Hatched so far, and no shiny Gastly. I'll be back when I do hatch the shiny.
 
My personal shiny chance is soo terrible... T_T
