I was wondering can anyone tell me if having a pokemon with Flamebody or Magma Armor ability in the party really does decrease the amount of steps taken for hatching eggs cause if this is true then shiny hunting became a little easier. Thanks in advance :/

Yes, and the Poke must be up front. This has been since Emerald version's release. It's easier because it's faster and thus more convenient.

no, the pokemon has to be next to the egg.

which is why if you have more than 1 egg in your party, put the flame body pokemon between them.

I really dont think thats true, I go around with 5 eggs a time and they all hatch as quick as each other.

Well I just finished doing another 50 or so random encounters for Shiny Frillish. As usual, luck wasn't on my side so I didn't encounter it. However, I did just do some more Shiny trades and I managed to reach 200 Shiny Pokemon registered in my Pokedex. Out of all the trades, the Shiny Tympole was my favorite and I wish I could've kept it. I might just go out and look for one of my own. But that won't be until I've finished the Shiny Kyurem and Shiny Frillish hunts, though. I don't want to do three hunts all at once; two is more than enough for now. Well, goodluck to everyone else.

yeah, i think you're right.


as long as you have a flame body poke ANYWHERE in your party.. your eggs will hatch faster. [had a little search on google]

good call.

Just put a power bracer on the parent dratini (or dragonite, dragonaire) that has a IV value of 32 (or higher). This will ensure the IV stat will be passed onto the offspring
