I'm trying to masuda for a shiny honedge cause shiny aegislash is based af
>spend 2 days doing nothing but hatching eggs
>lose track after about 20 boxes
what am I doing wrong? I even have the shiny charm
do i just have the worst luck?
>>30690770
Why? The shiny looks terrible. most shinies do.
>>30690770
>not having one in your X save file
>>30690793
It doesn't matter how it looks. It's about the swag power.
What pokevall should I match my honedge with?
>>30690855
Luxury

Only 20 boxes? That's 600 eggs. With the shiny charm plus Masuda, your odds are still a bit worse than 1/500. You're still well within the expected range of not having a shiny. Maybe after another 20 boxes, you can claim to have bad luck.
You just have shit luck, yesterday I hatched a shiny Salandit in less than 15 eggs and today it took me almost three boxes before I got my shiny mimikyu, the rates are much higher than previous games but patience is still needed
>>30690937
was the salandit female?
>>30690914
I lost count at around 20 boxes. I have no idea how many more i've done since then
>>30690855
dusk if you wanna be an edgelord

Yes
>want shiny aegislash
>pkhex it and have it in my game within minutes
>satisfied because I didn't spend hours inside a tauros autismbox

if masuda is 6/4096, and shiny charm doubles it to 12/4096, the chances are 1/341, and
1 - (340/341)^600 = 1 - 0.172 = .828
so unless i'm doing the math wrong he should have an 80% chance of hatching a shiny within those boxes. It's just high enough to be able to get pissy about, like missing an important Stone Edge.
(even if it's only 6/4096, he's still at ~60% shiny chance)
>>30690770
I know your pain OP im currently 700 eggs in for shiny rowlet
My longest hunt was fennekin at 1200 but i hope i get rowlet fucking soon, good luck to you
>>30691347

Not him but Corrosion isn't great, Oblivious is the better ability. Still a great shiny though, congratulations anon
>>30691509>>30691509
LOL when was the last time charm was used competitive?
>>30691509
i mean neither of them will be used, since who's outspeeding salazzle just to taunt it...
>>30691509
are you joking? Oblivious is trash. No one uses Attract.
>>30690793
lel
the shiny looks better

>>30691367
thanks for the math anon, that's actually really helpful
Does it help to have two pokemon with flame body to reduce steps? Or the abilities doesn't stack? I miss hatching o power :(
Can anyone post the honedge qr code? Trying to gts one but never seen
>>30691812
You can just type the name dude
>>30690770
it took me a week and 80 boxes for mine in XY
its just luck
>>30691775
They don't stack and neither do the two similar abilities that reduce egg hatch times. The only thing you can do is have one pokemon with flame body, and try not to let too many hatch at once.

Masuda method adds 5 more chances to the odds like you put there, but shiny charm doesn't double the chances, it just adds 2. The odds with shiny charm and Masuda is 8/4096 or 1/512.
