Once the egg is picked up everything about that Pokemon is predetermined. Soft Resetting for eggs is when you save prior to receiving the egg from the Nursery worker. Yes but this isn’t the most optimal way of hatching shinies as it actually takes a longer time to go through the process. The parents being shiny or not have no impact on the Pokemon being shiny when it hatches from the egg. Does either Pokemon dropped off at the Nursery need to be shiny?

Yes, the Shiny Charm can be used in conjunction with the Masuda Method to further increase the odds of receiving a Shiny Pokemon from 1 in 682 (0.15%) to approximately 1 in 339 (0.30%).Īlso read: How to Get Shiny Charm. Can you stack the Shiny Charm with the Masuda Method? The odds of hatching a Shiny Pokemon from the Masuda Method are increased from 1 in 4096 (0.024%) to 1 in 682 (0.15%). How much does the Masuda Method bump Shiny odds? The Masuda Method essentially promotes cross region breeding. The two Pokemon left in the Nursery need to be from different regions so if you have FRE Charmander and a JPN Ditto it will allow the Masuda Method to work, if you have a JPN Charmander and a JPN Ditto on an English game it still will not work as the Pokemon are the from the same region. If I have a Japanese Ditto and breed it with a Japanese Charmander will Masuda Method still work?


Having a Ditto from another region will make it so you don’t need to obtain multiple Egg Group Pokemon for each of the Egg Groups you want to try to hatch a Shiny Pokemon from. Here is an example of a Pokemon from another region: After receiving a Pokemon via trade, check their profile to see if they are from another language region. If you have the English version of the game you are going to want to find another compatible Egg Group Pokemon from a Region such as French, Spanish, German, Japanese etc. The Masuda Method will require you to obtain a Pokemon being used to breed from a different language version of the game from another region. Ditto takes the guess work out of a majority of breeding. Ditto will match the species and opposite gender of the Pokemon you are using to try to breed. While breeding for Shiny Pokemon or specific Pokemon it is best to use a Ditto. Note that Undiscovered Egg Group Pokemon can not produce an egg.
