Yes it does work. And you've got to do more than 30. Far more. You might have to pass 1000 eggs before you will get a shiny.

There is no "average, highest or lowest". It all depends on your SID. You may have to hatch several 1000 eggs before you can get a shiny.

An SID or Secret ID as it's actually named is a hidden number that can only be found through hacking or a shiny non-bred, non-chained pokemon. You can read more about it on Smogon.com or Bulbapedia. The SID generates PIDs for the different pokemon's which determines whether or not a pokemon is shiny.

Well, I was skeptical about this but after 580 some eggs I managed to get not one but two shiny Eevees about twenty eggs apart from each other. One was Jolly and I can't remember the nature of the other. But it does work! I was surprised.

Wonder what my next one will be....
