i have a question for you all that are willing to answer c:
since we're on the topic of the mesuda method, what is needed to get a shiny?
i've heard that breeding a pokémon that was from anther country would get you a shiny, but i see other people saying you could breed a shiny to get a shiny.
do both of these methods work?
thank you in advance for whoever answers <3

Breeding a shiny Pokemon doesn't make it any more likely that the hatched Pokemon will be shiny; it's no different than breeding two regular Pokemon.
The Masuda Method is when you breed two Pokemon from different region games. For example, if you breed one Pokemon from an English game and one from a French game, the chance of the eggs being shiny increases. I believe the regular chance of getting a shiny is 1/8192. In Gen 5 (as far as I'm aware, the Gen 6 statistics haven't officially been calculated yet,) the Masuda Method multiplied that rate by 6, bringing the chance of finding a shiny to 1/1365. So, unless you have a shiny charm, the chance is still pretty small, but much better than breeding without using any method.
In response to Phione Mango's post, there isn't any __ percentage rate of finding a shiny egg before __ number of eggs. The rate is the same for each egg and does not change depending on how many eggs you've hatched. Going by the Gen 5 statistics above, that means the first egg you hatch will have a 1/1365 chance of being shiny. The next egg will also have the same chance, and so will every egg afterwards; it's not like the rate changes to 2/1365 for the second egg, 3/1365 for the third egg, etc., and you're guaranteed to find a shiny by the time you hit 1365 eggs. There's as much chance of the thousandth egg being shiny as there was for the first and every one in-between.

As for wonder trades, what you get really just has to do with luck. Sometimes you'll get something really cool, other (most) times you'll get "junk" Pokemon. It just depends on who you get paired up with and what they happen to be sending at that moment.
thanks, and yeah, i would hoard lucario.. their so cute ( i have a level one hundred). anyway tahnks, just got a bunuyby, and wait just in, a ralts

I think I have a Korean Riolu, and it's in a Dream Ball with the Prankster ability. Not sure if I Wondertraded it already but I can check if you're still looking.
Spirit10 and I are partners, we use the same internet!!
Good Omens.

that is all.

Sure, if you still have it, send me a PM and we can work out the details. c: If you click the link in my signature, you can see which Pokemon I have available. I've got every starter, so I can breed one if you need it, or if you want me to breed something else I have, just ask.

It's just luck and what time you wonder trade. That's not the best of all wonder trades, some people wonder trade shiny Rayquazas! Keep trying, and eventually you'll probably get one~
