Well it's been months since my last update, I've barely had any time to masuda method since summer ended, but I decided to really go for that shiny tyrunt over the Christmas break.

Batch 25: 0/300
Batch 26: 1/180 The 6th egg in a batch after I collected 120!

Male 31/31/16/31/31/31
Missing defense, He's got Strong Jaw when I was wanting a Sturdy one too. But hardly anyone gets an HA shiny the first time round so i'll just try again later on.

Now time to get back to the Shiny Electrike hunt.

Total eggs hatched: 3115
Shinies: 7
 
I've been watching this forum for awhile now and I just got my shiny charm last night. So I figured I'd throw my hat into the ring and pledge 300 Totodile.
 
Hello all. I have been breeding for quite some time, and I would like to add my numbers into this if that is all right. I have the Shiny Charm in both OR&AS with Japanese Ditto's. I have breed well over 30,000 eggs, so far, but here is the ones that have tracked. I am trying to get a shiny living dex, so I will continue to breed. I breed in Batches of 100 eggs at a time.

Thanks man, last night was a lucky night! Shiny Charmander (bad nature but good IVs overall, Dragondance all the way for the speed lack ) and a bunch of eggs later, shiny Treecko (good IVs Special attack missing is not a problem) both male.

So, 3/2330 = 1/776 personal chance
 
I just got the shiny badge and am trying to do a shiny eevee so I can make a shiny glaceon. I have a Japanese ditto so I'm using the Masuda method. As of right now I am at 78 eggs hatched with no shinies yet. As soon as I get one I'll post!
 
Hello fellow shiny hunters!

I have been playing oras for a long time and I have been into shiny breeding since a week.

I'm currently celebrating my holiday so I have a decent amount of time hunting. So far I have bred 320 charmander eggs and I have had 0 shinies :(. Hope it'll hatch soon :D

Good luck all!

Edit: now hatching for shiny honedge, just over 60 eggs. Will reply when I hit 100 or shiny :D
Got shiny charm by the way

Edit2: hatched 120 eggs, no shiny yet. Using GER and JAP, should be fine right?

420 eggs in total now, no shiny yet. Getting a bit annoyed, but still motivated :D

Lavazard those pokemon should be good indeed for masuda breeding. To bad you haven't hatched a shiny yet. My first took over 1900 so don't give up the hope yet, sometimes it can just take some time to hatch one. :)

Oh wow 1900 should really hurt :(. Just curious what shiny were u hunting first? Tomorrow night I travel 7.5 hours by plane so plenty of time to Masuda breed :D
Hope I'll get it soon though :/

Good luck to everyone, may Masuda be in your favor :)

PS: is it a good idea to switch parents every so often? I heard rumors saying it "shuffles" your odds to obtain a shiny faster. If that's true then please reply, might hatch that one sparkling blood sword a lot faster that way :D

Edit: now total of 496 eggs hatched, and yet not a single sparkle to be seen, kinda disappointing D:. Am close to 512 so it should hatch anytime from now :DD

Edit2: 600 eggs hatched, and not even one!!! Getting frustrated so it better hatch soon!

My post is a little above here and i keep adding it with new information. :P
But first i tried hatching dratini and i stopped at 1200, then i tried totodile and stopped at 600 then after 30 new eggs of lotad i got my first shiny :)
 
I got a shiny Magikarp (which is now a Red Gyarados) on my 204th egg.
Currently looking for a shiny Treecko, and I have already hatched 800+ eggs lol
 
All right, time to do something about this thread.

It seems to be a magnet to new people for some reason. People with one, two or ten posts (rarely more than a hundred) who keep pleading eggs, reporting hatching numbers, or bragging about shinies. I don't know why this is, but after observing the phenomenon for a while, I've decided to have a second look at this thread.

Thing is, the thread is effectively dead. Or at least dormant. Examining the spreadsheet in the OP, it seems like it hasn't been updated in a year and a half. Wichu, who posted the thread, hasn't been active since August 2015. Pleading more numbers is useless now, since they apparently aren't read by anyone, never mind put into the spreadsheet. If nothing useful is said here, we might as well put the thread down.

I'm going to let it stay open for now, but if it keeps being Shortpost Central of OI, with only micro-messages by people reporting their Shiny hatchlings, I'm going to lock it. There are probably Pokémon forums out there with dedicated "tell us about your Shinies" threads, but Smogon is not the place for it.

So, no more "I got a Shiny Whatever after hatcing X eggs" posts, please. The more posts like this I see, the greater the chance I'll lock the thread. If people can convince me it needs to stay open, of course we will keep it open, but for now the threads lives on the edge. Or lies there dead, it kinda depends on whether the OP is planning to come back or not.

I understand your reason for closing the thread, and I actually agree as well. We have hatched enough eggs to conclude the shiny rate with charm and MM is 1/512 or something like that, so practically this thread became a "bragging" thread about how quickly someone got a shiny. Maybe we should make a new thread, about people their shinies and how they got them. It would be a lot better than "brag" on a thread that isn't about bragging, but about the shiny rate.

This is just my opinion, but I just agree with codraroll, since this thread is basically dead
 
Codraroll, this thread lost all scientific/statistical viability a long time ago. I see no point in the thread at this point for the sake of data collection since so few people are following the established protocol necessary to make the data useful. However, it could be turned around if someone were interested in taking it on.
