Ok, I have a question about MM, so I have a Japanese Froakie with 5 IVs, and i put it with one of mine, so now i have 5 ivs Frokies, so i was wondering if i can put these Frokies i breeded from this same japanese Frokies so i can try for a good IVs shiny Frokie, dont know if it will affect anything if the Frokie i am putting with the one i used to breed it will affect anything.
Both obtained via the Shiny Value Check hickorydoodad ya Agonist? Wherein you traded them an egg that can hatch shiny on their game or they trade you an egg that will hatch shiny on your game?
Congrats i guess, tis just a shame to see 100% guaranteed shinies thanks to this huge network being setup.
If I understand you correctly, you will breed the Japanese 5IV Froakie with one of the newly hatched 5IV Froakies to combine MM and IV breeding? Yes, that will work, and your 5IV parents will most likely hatch a good IV'd shiny once it shows up. Just make sure the original Japanese Froakie is one of the parents, since your newly hatched will all be from your country.
With the new Instachecker that is going around, wild + egg shinies have a confirmed rate of 1/4100 (shiny values assigned to pokemon do not exceed 4100). This is not Masuda Method or Chaining or Friend Safari-- just the base shiny rate. You can find all of this information on Smogon or Reddit, as I don't want to post links outside of Serebii, but wanted to pass this information along since I know everyone wants to know the rates.
Anddd.. had a small bit of luck today. Still trying to find my Luxio but got a shiny Electabuzz in the process!
Man, and I thought Chain Fishing was bad...
In unrelated news... I finally got my Shiny Fletchling 2 days ago after COUNTLESS frustrating attempts at chaining and it had a decent Naughty nature as well! (I just couldn't give up on that Crimson Talonflame) It's also my first valuable shiny in Y since CF shinies are foolproof and so common. Then again, with all this abuse going on I don't think shinies are gonna remain as special for long.
So they really DID lower it after all? Heh, eat your words smug naysayers! =P And as for this Instachecker business... It's a clear exploit, and building a database with Trainer Values will streamline things for people to get the shinies they want very easily from what I understood. Seriously... How can people even do this and not feel cheap in any way...? =/

Why is chain fishing bad? I've had the chance to get shinies that I wouldn't even try to hunt for other whys, I really don't want to start an argument on this again but I'm getting a bit sick of people hating on chain fishing. A shiny is a shiny. MM was considered "bad" when it was first used. Shinies will always remain special to those that don't care how they were obtained, as long as it wasn't hacked. I value my CF shinies as much as my MM shinies, have probably said this before but my shiny CF relicanth is just as special to me as my 2,500 MM roggenrolla.
Anyway shiny news:
Got my 4th shiny clauncher... still looking for that shiny horsea.
There's another thing, people think that you can get shinies instantly with CF. I have been at this horsea hunt for at least a week, that's a decent amount of time for a CF hunt.
Sorry for the rant of sorts just speaking my mind
Congratz on all your recent shinies and to those still hunting...
*May the shine be with you*
Actual odds are 1/4096.
Don't call them cheap. Other people clearly value them more than you do.
I really wish everyone would stop discussing the value of the shinies, however they are obtained. I even put it in the rules when the thread was started a year ago
This. Not everyone has the time/patience to sit around, and hatch/random encounter thousands of Pokemon. Just be happy for them that they got the shiny they wanted instead of gripping about how they had to trade to get it.
