Ok thanks. I thought I saw something about a chain that can be broken, but maybe I misread something (if I find it again I'll post it int he guild). How many boxes did you fill before getting shinies with the non masuda method?
Hard to say, as I haven't actually been trying to breed shiny pokemon, but rather been IV breeding. I have filled up boxes and boxes, but I usually wonder trade them away (and release all of the starter area pokemon that I get in return) so that they don't build up. If I had to put a number on the amount of pokemon that I bred before getting a shiny without using a foreign 'mon.... 400-500? Again, that's counting every pokemon that I bred in this game up until that point.
When breeding a vulpix for someone else using my own ninetails and a japanese father, I got a shiny in that batch of 5 eggs. It doesn't have the hidden ability, which saddens me, but Shiny Ninetails is majestic as hell, so you better believe that I trained that one. Flash Fire is still good, right? Right?
Oh, and the chain thing only applies to the fishing method and the radar method.
