hatched over 90 ralt eggs and no luck :( the only shiny i have is a shiny macargo that i traded my friend cuz it was my game and over 300 hours on my Ruby and no shiny
teach it shadow ball and try ur saphy it may still work ive had friend's games dropped in toilet and that have also been in washer and their games still worked.
I'm from the US too, but i think whinning that you can't get the game as fast as others is dumb because it's not gonna help you get the game faster it's just gonna make you want the game more badly.
