@@Meloetta_1 hey forgot to reply to this and I hope this info is useful. As long as you don't use a hacked Pokémon online, at least from my experience you're pretty safe. It's not as if such a ditto is unobtainable by legitimate means after all, so if you're just using one for breeding (and this goes for anyone) you should be fine! I've gotten presumably hacked shiny dittos just like this wayyyy back in gen 6 a few times over wonder trade and I'd use them for breeding. I even moved one up to sword and shield. I've never been penalized for using them for the masuda method, though just in case I wouldn't recommend using them in competitive or anything. And like I said earlier there's really no obvious giveaway if this Pokémon is hacked so long as it doesn't have illegal moves or literally has one of those shady websites as a nickname/OT. It really just depends on how you feel morally about this lol, since hacked Pokémon can be quite controversial even if they're built to be legitimate or as gifts to clean up wonder trade.
Currently trying to hatch a shiny Pichu with volt tackle. You can't transfer volt tackle like other egg moves since it requires a special condition, so breeding is the only way to get one. Thankfully the Masuda Method will make this much quicker
Wow I thought most people knew this already (at least shiny hunters did) since it's been in the games for ages but apparently I was wrong, so it's cool that new players are learning this now. Masuda has been my go-to since gen 6. There are a lot of misconceptions in the comments... so by the way guys, having a shiny parent doesn't affect shiny odds. Also you don't have to use a foreign ditto- if you have two of the same Pokémon, one from your region and one from another, masuda method still works. I still don't have a foreign ditto in Pokémon violet and my first masuda shiny was a shiny shroodle on the 173rd egg from saving up Pokémon I got in surprise/wonder trade from different regions that I wanted to shiny hunt. Lastly, DON'T WASTE YOUR HERBA MYSTICA ON EGGS. Sparkling power has no effect on increasing the odds. Remember to be patient because it's still dependent on luck. You can get a shiny in 5 eggs or you can get a shiny in over 1000 but if you really want it don't give up, this is what being a shiny hunter means lol. It is a silly monster game but this hobby is ROUGH sometimes for what it is.

Don't worry bro as long as you have parents from different nationalities you're good. I've been doing masuda since gen 6 but it still only depends on luck. I've gotten a shiny mawile in X in 80 eggs and recently went back to USUM and got a shiny Caterpie in 5 eggs. Those were with luck, but there were times where it took over 1000. It will come with time, you just have to be insanely patient and/or insanely lucky.
I'm going for 3 starters from different countries from each other, and a golduck from a different country from all 4. I got some Japanese dittos and an English skeledirge, I'll try for German, Korean, and Chinese, but any will do
Genuine question does this only work with dittos? Because im trying to get a shiny scorbunny but i only have a foreign cinderace (im trying to do this method in swsh)
It works with any pokemon. People just generally say to use ditto since it can breed with any pokemon that can breed. But breeding any two pokemon from different languages has the same effect.

@@elliswebster7041 facts bro idk wtf this is im just being introduced to these games now and i grew up on pokemon, how tf we supposed to just know lmao
@@fard851 don't let it bring you down if it is hacked. It has no negative influence on the Pokémon who breed with it or what hatches from it and all the babies you get will still be legitimate! There are plenty of people out there including myself who have gotten possibly hacked shiny dittos way back in gen 6 and have been using them ever since then for masuda purposes. They only exist to help people like us out (with the extra addition of them being shiny for cool points) :)
if you get a japanese decidueye and breed it to get an american rowlet, can u breed said rowlet with a japanese ditto and get masuda odds? Speaking from experience
I don't know if I'm understanding this correctly but from what I'm gathering the rowlet is American and the ditto is Japanese therefore from different regions so yes, you will get masuda odds because that is the only requirement.
Nothing happens if you have a shiny masuda ditto. A shiny ditto as the parent has no effect on the odds and was probably hacked in if it also has perfect IVs, but you can still use it for breeding offline and it would work the same.
It doesn’t jave to be from a different region it just has to be a different language it worked for me i used my brothers switch to make Japanese profile got a ditto and traded it to mine and it works like Masuda method still
Not sure what you mean by this but I'm pretty sure you can breed those interchangeably so long as they're not both from the same region. For example you can breed Korean with Japanese and get masuda odds but if you breed a Korean mon with another Korean mod it won't have an effect. They have to be different regions. If you're unsure just check to see if the Pokémon have different regional icons beneath their names.
So I have the shiny charm and doing this method and honestly it don’t work for shit I’ve made over 2000 eggs of beldum and nothing the chances are so crap
BTW an easy method to find a shiny ditto is to PRESS ZL located on the blue/left side of the controller and then press R for it to auto battle and you'd tell because the pokemon do not auto battle shiny pokemon.
I got a ditto randomly from surprise trade and it was foreign and something told me to keep it. Glad I did lol, thanks for the info!

If I breed two dittos and one is foreign can I get a shiny ditto?
No you need to find a wild ditto
BTW an easy method to find a shiny ditto is to PRESS ZL located on the blue/left side of the controller and then press R for it to auto battle and you'd tell because the pokemon do not auto battle shiny pokemon.
Thanks for the tips.
@@deangoodin7390 no problem always glad to help someone out.
You cannot breed genderless pokémon.
Does it really need to have a foreign name to get even higher chances?
Yeah, the real masuda himself confirmed it
Well not the name exaclty, but the ditto has to be from a game file that is in a foreign language.
