Wow nice one!

Every hatch i get, i stare at the flame hoping for blue. My eyes can deceive me sometimes though!

Lol, same with me, i was like "damn purple flame!" And then the day when I was hatching and not really paying attention it happened.
Yeah the shiny chandelure is pretty sweet, but I also really like the shiny litwick! Which is why I'm training one and leaving the other as a litwick! :D

New plan now. I'm going to try MMing a Pansear since orange is my favorite color and orange pansear looks great.

If I fail/succeed/get bored, I'll move on to trying to get either a Tepig or Snivy

Hey, seems we have a similar goal. I was thinking of trying to do the MM for one of the monkeys, so I'll follow your lead and try for a shiny Pansear myself. ^^

I recommend using an everstone and breed with a modest female litwick (if you're not already doing that of course...). Both of mine ended up getting a modest nature using an everstone!
I agree, I didn't worry about IV's but I did choose to train the one with better IV's and he had the better ability too (flash fire).
I'm kinda trying the EV training with this litwick, but really I'm just making sure I don't let him battle anything that gives attack EVs. Focusing mainly on spatk and then maybe divide between def and spdef and some speed (he doesn't have the best base speed anyways).

Congrats on everyones shinys! My eevee hunt feels like its going slower then my Zorua one, although my friends birthday is this week so hopefully I can get it before then! At 360 right now with a little over 100 eggs stored, gunna go for 200 eggs stored then start hatching.

Question, is the pass power that makes eggs hatch faster stackable with flame body ability? I've been using my Volcarona for hatching, but if it stacks that would be sweet.

Yeah i got the everstone equipped to a female modest Litwick, fingers crossed it gets the right nature when it comes out of the egg!

yes flame body speeds up the process of the hatching...also the bike will help too..hope that helps...still shiny horsea hunting...
Click to expand...

Oh, no, I know that. Just if I can use the entralink pass power that speeds up hatching along WITH flame body's ability for super fast hatching, or if it just cancels it out haha

GL with shiny horsea! Its such a good shiny.

Everstone gives the offspring a 50% chance to have the mothers nature, if the mother is holding it while breeding.

As far as i know it doesnt speed up the egg making/hatching proccess.

The Everstone Trick only helps with the Nature. It'd be awesome if it cut the egg time, though. I might MM, in the future. My Shiny Vaporeon is destroying the Battle Subway. :p

The new pass powers are a godsend, you can literally rip through 100 eggs in half the time it took last gen ^^

Fairies do exist!!!
I caught a lot of shinies, but of course using some process only those on the advanced level will know how to do it...
RNG
Anyway I like to match the pokeballs depending on what pokemon it is.
Example...a Quick Ball is good on a shiny Cobalion.
And Luxury/Repeat Ball is good on shiny Chandelure.

P.S. These are the following Pokemon in-game that are never shiny: Reshiram, Zekrom, Victini, event Zorua & event Zoruark.
