Pretty much this, unless its wild caught/randomly breed.Now I'm going to give one of my dud-lectrikes to a friend, and I need a manectite to give to him too. If anyone has one to trade, please check my trade thread in my signature. :)
Yeah, but then they won't be hatched by me. Shinies are less valuable to me if they are obtained by someone else. I dunno, they just feel more special if they appeared for me. If they were easy to get like that, then there's not much fun in breeding them.
Also, I think the "Masuda method with shiny charm" thread on this forum is showing that the rate is about 1:500, which seems to be accurate for how often I've been hatching them.
TSV hatching is making shiny lose tons of value imo.
