  1. Hello.
  2. If you want your team rated, you should post a thread here.
  3. The chances of finding a shiny are always 1/8,192, via breeding or otherwise. However, shinyness is something NOT determined from the moment you receive the egg, so you could just reset every time it hatches.

^Okay, that is just plain breaking the rules. You should know that saying that (especially in someone's welcome thread, where at least 2 mods will DEFINITELY see) isn't the wisest thing to do. I advise editing that from your post.

After Reading this, i hot 5 magikarp eggs in my inventory. Saved. The i hatched and reset and repeated this process 4 times. I get the exact same Magikarp, Abilities, stats, everything........couincidence i think not i estimated the odds, and there is no way this could happen unless everything is chosen when you receive the egg....unless shinyness is the olny thing that breaks this trend

^Everything except being a shiny is determined the moment you get the egg. Being a shiny is totally random. You should read this to clear up any questions you have about shinies and such.

Also, this isn't the place to discuss this. This is only a welcome thread. This also serves as a place to ask questions about the forums and stuff that you may have as a new member here. Look around the forum. I'm sure you'll find the answers to many things if you just search. :)
