on hatching for shinies
Here's a handy guide to help you determine whether your next batch of eggs might contain a shiny! Just click here and follow these directions.
Recommended: Follow the egg species calculation guide first. When you've determined how many eggs are of each species, assign them to slots, e.g., 'The first two numbers are Skitty; the last four numbers are Wailord.' This will help you easily determine what species your shiny will be!
This number represents the size of the clutch, which is based off the number of egg cycles, as seen here. Pick an appropriate number and plug it in.
These numbers represent the odds of the egg being shiny. With one shiny parent, they should be set to 1 and 50, as shown. With two shiny parents, they should be set to 1 and 25. (Much better odds!)
This is the go button! Click it to make things happen.
The number 1 represents an egg that is shiny. Any other number is non-shiny. This gives each egg a 1 in 50 (2%) or 1 in 25 (4%) chance of being shiny. Here, one egg of six is shiny. You may get none at all, or you might get extra lucky with more than one! It's all in the numbers.
If you determined species beforehand, you'll know what species the shiny egg is, too. Using my example from earlier, this is a shiny baby Wailmer!
Happy hatching! ♥
