Hi Guys,

A couple of years back I recieved a Japanese Cranidos from a GTS trade but it wasn't until last thursday that I realized the potential within this pokemon to combine my two favorite aspects of the pokemon games, breeding and shinies.
So since then I have put my cranidos, now a rampardos into the daycare with my gible and I have created 25 little gibles but with no luck in getting a shiny one.
I just wanted to see how long it took you guys to get a shiny through the masuda method.
 
I've been using some Japanese Pokémon I got through trades to try and breed some shinies, but no luck so far. My Eevee, Snorlax, Solrock and Absol just don't want to have shiny children, it seems. Nor good-natured ones, though that's another story.
 
The chanses are 1/64(?) So just keep it up, and you will probably get one sooner or later.
 
Whopsi, sorry, my bad, must have mixed wiht somting else ;)
 
Yeah, in the original Gold and Silver, it used to be 1/64 to find a shiny if you bred a shiny with another Pokemon. 1/32 to find a shiny if you bred a shiny + a shiny, too. This is because of the way IVs were passed down in that generation, and because shininess were determined by very specific IVs.

The Matsuda method just increases it to a four times the chances. 1/2048 is the correct number.

It took me ~170 eggs before I got my shiny Chikorita and over 200 to get my shiny Charmander. You just have to be persistant.
 
I got 30 growlith with crunch flare blitz heat wave and will o wisp. In no where close to get a shiny. But to be safe is there somethin else to the method? Or is it just breed a ditto and a arcanine form japan?
 
Right now you have a 0% chance of getting a shiny Gible with every egg.[/troll]

The key is BE PATIENT. 30 eggs is nowhere near enough. You be VERY lucky to get it in 30 eggs since there's only a 1/2048 chance of a Masuda Method egg being shiny.
 
I feel like I've bred milions of Eevees, Piplups, Lotads and Rattatas and got no shinies... I'm breeding Rattatas at the moment to test the method (+Rattata was my first and only (save Red Gyarados) shiny on gold), and found Rattatas don't need much time for hatching:B

you should make a shiny FEAR Rattata
 
Magikarp is probably the easiest shiny to obtain through the Masuda Method because Magikarp eggs hatch the quickest.
 
What does everyone do with all the hatched eggs? Release them? Also, can you release a whole group of Pokémon at once, or only one at a time?

You can't release an egg. I feel that, in HG/SS or future generations, they should give you the ability to sell any eggs you don't need in-game. That way, you don't get stuck with five boxes filled with eggs you still need to hatch.

I usually just hatch the eggs and immediately release the Pokémon if I don't need it. You can only release one Pokémon at a time.

I said hatched eggs.

Besides, why would you want to get rid of an un-hatched egg when you know nothing of the Pokémon inside?

I've been hatching Charmander eggs for a while now, got a nice routine going (still no shinies, hatched around 100). I only have one Pokemon on my team (Magby, to help speed up the process) and the rest are eggs. I just ride the Solaceon path and every time one hatches I release it and by then another egg is always with the old man. It seems like the best method I can think of.

I do the same thing (Cept with a Magcargo instead of a Magby, she's my standard incubator:3) .
Occasionally I've also put the eggs in the box the moment another one shows up so I could have more than 5... But I haven't really had to do that with the Rattata-eggs, sometimes I have the problem that they hatch so fast another one HASN'T shown up yet when they do..
