I am so damn lucky. Why? Well you should know by reading the title. I was doing the Masuda Method in my White 2, and I hatched a shiny Beldum in less than just 50 attempts. My reaction: WTF.

If you don't know what the Masuda Method is, it's basically a method to lower the chances of hatching a shiny. It lowers the chance from 1 in 8,000 and something to 1 in 1,000 for Gen 5 and 1 in 2,000 for Gen 4.

How do you do it? All you need is a foreign Pokemon from a different country and breed it with one from a different country from the one you're using. Seriously, a shiny Metagross looks badass. It is white all over, and has a golden cross in the middle rather than being blue all over and having a gray cross.

Nice! I remember catching a legitimate shiny Absol in Emerald, I had the exact same reaction.

I remember finding a Shiny Crustle, my reaction wasn't really much.

That's crazy. And will probably never happen to me.

Learn to RNG. It'll improve your chances to 100% of the time if you know what you're doing.

You mean it highers the chances. Not lowers.

@Robdeprop
I'm talking about that it lowers the odds.
