You are the only youtuber that tells people about the baskets max of 10 eggs and I thank you as I have wasted so much time trying to fill the basket by waiting 30 minutes before grabbing them
I'm really mad that I didn't know you could select eggs vertically and drop them into your party. I selected them horizontally and tried to drop them in and it didn't work, so I just assumed you couldn't drop multiples into your party at all...
I didn't even notice that we could multi.selext at all. Hated the boxes to this game because of it. Loved legends of Arceus, was so much easier to sort
Something to add to this, if you've farmed a few herba mysticas, it's worth using 2 of them for egg power 3, and they won't go to waste since you don't have to save if none of the eggs are shiny. I get at least 3 boxes in 30 mins, which is a whole box more than level 2, add that can add up real quick since you'll have to do it many rounds most times. So if you want eggs much faster and have 2 herbas to spare, I'd definitely suggest doing this. You can just use the same 2 over and over till you roll a shiny, and in that case the herbas were put to good use and wouldn't feel like you wasted them.
Egg power 2 is just as good and you dont have to use the herba tbh lvl 2 and 3 are basically the same speed as ive tested it multiple times and lvl 3 isnt worth it even Austin john plays says it as well
As a Breeder and Shiny Hunter, the biggest take away here for me is to just make the Jam Sandwich. I like getting near-perfect eggs, too, so that way when I'm done farming and still have a ton of babies, I Surprise-Trade them for the random crap other people send so that at least they get a nice surprise out of it. 👍 Send me your crap, because I guarantee I can do better with the same 'mon!
I was doing exactly this, except I was actually saving and then releasing them one by one. Didnt even think about resetting to clear the eggs! Good Video!
@@cleverman383 Yeah unfortunately the game can crash so randomly that it makes it super stressful. Even if you go to an area that has low CPU strain, it still can crash for no reason.
@@TheAwesomeDarkNinja yeah this happened to me on my first Shiny Sprigatito so after that I prefer to save and manually delete 1 by 1 rather than to leave it all to luck whether or not the game crashes. I don't want to lose another shiny that way.
In BDSP, turning off pokemon cries/music made the egg hatching screen faster. These tips are pretty good, I would recommend Great Peanut Butter Sandwich: Peanut Butter + Butter + Bananas for Lvl 2 egg hatching - great for early and late game shiny hunts. I always collected 360 eggs at a time, and cycled through. My worse fear is hatching a shiny within that 90, and having the game crash (which how volatile violet/scarlet could be is a scary thing) Thanks for the tips~ Totally forgot u can turn off nicknames.
@@zephryoz8692 Ive done 12 boxes of eggs since I was introduced to shiny hunting in X; hunts can go from 7 eggs to as long as 3.7k eggs. Almost a decade of shiny hunting like that exclusively.
If you know around Wich egg gave the shiny and the game crashed, imagine it was the 10th time you went to pick eggs, it means the shiny was around egg 100-105.. so don't even bother hatching the first 99 eggs, just throw them away and pick again the 10th row of eggs, the shiny will be there. The pokemon from eggs are determined the moment you get the egg
How do it all work is my question. I have two foreign dittos one from jpn and ita. I always use my jpn ditto but somehow by accident while I was already 180 eggs in for a shiny I used the ita ditto for a egg run. Did that screw my odds. Also do u have to get the shiny in one run and can’t close the game and put it away because it will start you all over. Is there a counter or something so confusing. Now because of all this I am over odds for this shiny currently 561 eggs in…..😢
and foreign ditto is good, changing the nationality doesnt matter. I count my eggs by myself, theres apps for it. You can close the game, but if you save and close the game you will have to release all the non shinys eggs and thats takes time, but you can. Just keep at it and youll get it, it seems you are doing it right. my Sprig took 1500 eggs even tho i was doing it with best odds. Sometimes luck isnt on your side
Tip for AFK hatching too: Go to the beach behind Nemona's house, where the battle court is, and rubber band your joysticks together. You'll bike in circles, not run into any Pokemoin or obstacles as long as you stay between the ocean and the beach chairs. Masuda hunting is so delightfully AFK in this generation.
@@LeJayKay Yeah, I just leave my switch nearby and keep a watch on it outside my peripheral vision while doing other things. It's not fully AFK but as close to it as Pokemon has ever been
Thank you for this, I use a power controller as well and when you combine auto A pressing with this, it will auto hatch the 5 eggs from your party until you have to reload!!
I'd be way too scared to not save while the game has still the possibility to crash. If it does crash, you'd lose so much time having to get all the eggs again and more importantly you may miss unhatched shinies...
100% My game has autosave turned on and it just crashed randomly after halfway through the first box. I lost 80 eggs since I didn't realize it does not auto save after an egg hatch but at least I have 3 full boxes of eggs to go through again.
The shinies of an egg is determined when the egg is generated though, making soft reseting with a box full of eggs pointless. Correct me if that’s not what you meant in the video. Take care!
yes you are right so we saved before you get the egg and reset to that point, the whole point is that it gets rid of the need to mass release or, back when this was made, release one by one
There's a faster way make sure you have your ditto and the pokemon your breeding in your party and make sure your box is empty and save your game next to the gastronomie en famille restaurant in the town alfornada that's the bottom left hand side of the map they will sell you the food with egg power 2 so you sign in buy that food and then place a picnic it save all that time that you have to make the sandwich hope that helps
Finally someone mentioned the save before breeding method, I've thought that method and have used it, I was just very unsure if it worked since I was 800+ eggs in, however I used the regular masuda methods (mass deleting after finishing) and I got probably more so, I think I just have bad luck.
nah its a good worry because back in sun and moon this method wouldnt have worked. back then, the eggs were already determined several eggs out. This allowed for a "Swap" method with a magikarp. You could breed magikarps (quickest egg hatches) and find a shiny. Then you could turn off the game and replace it with your desired shiny and it would be there on the same number of eggs as the magikarp.
Yes, the shiny is made when the egg is bred, so if you save and reset to before that, then itll be new eegs each time. the only bad thing is you have to breed new eggs every time which does take time
This is good in theory, but I like biking around the overworld collecting items and encountering many many more pokemon at the same time while I hatch. I must have found about 4 or 5 shinies already by biking around while hatching, none of which I would have gotten if I had done this method, as more time efficient as it is for getting rid of the eggs.
Literally found a shiny medicham and a shiny Phanpy so far biking while hatching eggs. With how frequently everything spawns and respawns not exploring is a waste
Sorry guys the eggs are pre set, once you guys pick up your eggs from the basket it’s already predetermined, I’ve check to see the Pokémon changes nature and stats after a reset and none of them have changed, is the shiny Pokémon random or determined with that egg please help and explain
@@TheCaddington I think its when you've hatched the egg since I was able to create 60 charmander eggs and got a shiny after doing about 5-6 resets with the same exact eggs

@@wanderinwolf3804I just have a second account where I play Pokémon games in a different language and transfer them through home or get a friend to help. It’s not time consuming at all, and honestly saves so much time in the long run.
@@Lethe_Nyx yeah but that's a bunch of extra work that isn't really needed. The only thing that you could do different between breeding with dittos and breed with 2 parents is that the 2 parents can pass down a PokeBall, meaning the pokeball used to catch a parent can be passed down. I've done breeding that way once and that is how I got my shiny Blaziken in a fast ball.
Oh my god I thought you could get say 120 eggs in the boxes save hatch if no shiny reset and go again I literally didn’t know when you pick up an egg it’s decided then if it’s shiny or not I’ve wasted so much time over 1000 hatches for shiny fuecoco 😂🤦
i know this is a very late comment but does having sparkling power have any effect when breeding for the eggs or hatching the eggs and does egg power have an effect when actually hatching the pokemon(i know it increases the amount of eggs you breed)
No, you have to save before breeding, breed - hatch - no shinys, then reset, and make a whole new batch of eggs. It saves you the money and time releasing each egg. Sadly not the breeding process, that is impossible
here i am trying this method and my game crashes after 10 eggs.. this game is way too full of bugs to be trying this method. i lose more time recollecting eggs than i would spend releasing them because of my game crashing everytime
Idk if this is still relevant to you but you have to restart all the way back to before you breed the eggs because the shininess of eggs are determined once they're made and not when they're hatched I think the same applies to stats as well but I'm not so sure on that
At the end, were you rehatching the same eggs after restarting, instead of breeding new ones? If so, I don't think that's effective because the eggs receive a random roll at the time you pick them up, so if you keep rehatching them after a restart, you are gunna waste a lot of time rehatching the same non-shiny eggs.
That’s what I thought of too. At least for previous generation of Pokemons, once you received the egg it already has a specific dna to whether it would be a shiny or not without even hatching it.
Bro I’ve used the mesuda method with a foreign ditto and a greninja, I also have a shiny charm with increases the odds to a 1/400 something..I’ve filled up 11 boxes 0 shinys
i hatched all boxes to see if there was a shiny. sorry if that wasnt clear. However now with pokemon home i wouldnt suggest this method if you are a new shiny hunter or pokemon player. just use pokemon home to mass release
Man thank you for saying there could be max 10 pokemon in the basket, i was trying to get shiny froakie and i was wondering why i was getting so few eggs.
2 things to say, although I liked the video haha First is.. ALWAYS have auto save OFF, ALWAYS! Second is you don't need to pass like hours releasing shinies just hatch the first 5 eggs and instead of placing them in the box just release the 5 newly hatched pokemon and pick up more 5 eggs.. it won't be boring and you won't waste a lot of time
@@conley2659 i see some people saying this but my game only crashed once and gives you a sign that is gonna crash, second, don't play like 5 hours straight without savings that's just dump and reset your switch each 2 hours or so, just off and on again, and finally you have always a secure backsave system that you can access on the main menu to reload the last " cloud auto save " the game does without you knowing, even with autosave off
My shiny counter never increased after I hatched or evolved shiny Charmander. Charmander and its forms aren't in the current Pokedex, so they don't count as a shiny in your profile. Collecting eggs and checking your shiny count will not tell you that you've got a shiny pokemon. You're wasting time. Hatch your eggs and look at the mark next to their name to be 100% sure.
This method kinda saves a lot of time for not having to manually release each breedjects but what happens if the game decided to crash? That’s what I’m scared of since you only manual save once before breeding. Also, how many eggs would you recommend for us to breed? I have a shiny charm plus masuda method. I might give this a try and maybe breed 30 egg each run. Imagine breeding 90 and above and the game crashes. That’s a huge waste of time!
That's why u turn autosave on haha, plus honestly the game doesn't rlly crash that often, I forgot to turn autosaves on for my hunt and was perfectly fine, and I've only crashed like twice the entire playthrough. If your in an area where no pokemon are spawning (like a team star base) there shouldn't be much lag so your game is very unlikely to crash ^^
I've hatched a little over 20 eggs somewhat recently. (A little over 80, total) Nothing has shone, ever. And yeah, I know, I've gotten literally nowhere. I fail to see WHY it's worth doing this.
its really down to your preference. if you dont like it dont do it. Some mons you have to get by egg hunting so thats why its useful, its also quite passive so you dont need to focus. I do prefer seeing them out in the wild though rather than egg hunting.
@@TheCaddington I suppose I'm doing it to get a shiny, but I've barely gotten anywhere in that regard. Only once did I MM a shiny, but that was quite some time ago.
I did all you said to do. 500 boxes later, still not one shiny.with a ditto from another version in another language and the shiny charm. Wtf.why can't I just get one?
@@emily-eh9te I get how you feel but after attempting this. I can confirm it does work. I got a shiny Rookidee by doing this. Just keep at it. I know you will eventually get one.
I have a quick question about shiny hunting by breeding. So lets say i breed 100 eggs, it isnt determined if one is shiny until i hatch it? My friend tried telling me that it is decided if it is shiny or not once you have the egg but this video makes it sound like the rng dont start until you actually hatch the egg.
so once you have the pokemon you want to breed save, collect the eggs, then hatch. Then if you didnt get the shiny when hatching restart your game and repeat. Then breed for a new batch of eggs and repeat the process?
A ditto caught in a game with a different language than yours. EG If you get a Ditto from a game that was in Spanish it would have a SPA in the details page and would be a foreign ditto
I did the mesuda method, use flame body, and have the shiny charm. It's like a 1/500 chance. I've hatched at least 7 box's of froakie and having to release them is annoying

here i am trying this method and my game crashes after 10 eggs.. this game is way too full of bugs to be trying this method. i lose more time recollecting eggs than i would spend releasing them because of my game crashing everytime
Watching this video already knowing everything simply on the off chance there’s something new that I don’t know. Shiny charmander doesn’t exist
Is the seed the same after closing the game without saving? Or would the eggs we get be completely different?
If the eggs were given to you they are already preset
Thanks man, this really made it clear on how to effeciently do it
If only I had saw this 11 days ago. 702 eggs in with the masuda and charm, but no luck.
That's very unlucky! I hope you get some shinies soon, you deserve it
the thumbnail said i was doing it wrong........ive been doing it like this the whole time :/
Has the reset method worked for you?
From which point do you need to restart? From when the eggs are in your boxes or breed them all over again?
Idk if this is still relevant to you but you have to restart all the way back to before you breed the eggs because the shininess of eggs are determined once they're made and not when they're hatched I think the same applies to stats as well but I'm not so sure on that
How about a Shiny & a perfect IV? 😅😅😅😅😅😅
At the end, were you rehatching the same eggs after restarting, instead of breeding new ones? If so, I don't think that's effective because the eggs receive a random roll at the time you pick them up, so if you keep rehatching them after a restart, you are gunna waste a lot of time rehatching the same non-shiny eggs.
That’s what I thought of too. At least for previous generation of Pokemons, once you received the egg it already has a specific dna to whether it would be a shiny or not without even hatching it.
no sorry that was a bad cut, those were newly bred eggs. In hindsight i could of made this video a lot better but first video learning and all
Does quitting the game reset the Pokémon odds of all the hatched eggs?
i didnt even know how to breed in this game lol
The Issue is while breeding i mostly find 1 or 2 overworld Shinys so i cant just restart 😂
yeah this is the biggest downside, i hatch in a place where i have most of the shinys so i dont mind
I'd recommend running around Casacarrafa, it's got a nice town square
I mean ill never turn down a shiny, ill rather have to release a few hundred pokemon
Wow this will save a lot of time from releasing!
It actually takes 5 mins to release a 2 batches
Gonna try this egg method. Got 1/512 odds, on egg 451. No shinies.
Froakie shiny is so hard, i almost giving up. =/ Ty for the tips
I’m trying to breed battle bond Greninja, but it doesn’t work
Restarting ? If u restart and hatch again this are the same pokemon as before?
I'm still trying to hatch a shiny Eevee
good luck bud, hope you get it soon
@@TheCaddington Thanks I managed to find and catch four shinies on Violet the other week.
I just want to know how to get a shiny female Eevee
Bro I’ve used the mesuda method with a foreign ditto and a greninja, I also have a shiny charm with increases the odds to a 1/400 something..I’ve filled up 11 boxes 0 shinys
11 boxes is only 330 my dude, youre still under odds
I got a croc in like 30 eggs!! I love my evil little pink boy
Yeah but then you have to make the sandwich every time , no thanks
I don’t understand why you fill up 3 boxes of eggs if your just going to soft reset after hatching the party of 5?
i hatched all boxes to see if there was a shiny. sorry if that wasnt clear. However now with pokemon home i wouldnt suggest this method if you are a new shiny hunter or pokemon player. just use pokemon home to mass release
I didn't know you can multi-select with the minus button. I wonder why this wasn't in the tutorial? Weird.
ALOT of people dont know it, its strange it doesnt show you or hint to it, and this has been in every switch pokemon game
Are the eggs not pre determined like games before so even if you reset from save its the same pokemon with the same stats as the first time hatched
They are pre determined after they go in your box, which is why you save before breeding.
Man thank you for saying there could be max 10 pokemon in the basket, i was trying to get shiny froakie and i was wondering why i was getting so few eggs.
Dude literally same but I filled up 11 boxes with shiny charm and mesuda method 0 shinys
2 things to say, although I liked the video haha
First is.. ALWAYS have auto save OFF, ALWAYS!
Second is you don't need to pass like hours releasing shinies just hatch the first 5 eggs and instead of placing them in the box just release the 5 newly hatched pokemon and pick up more 5 eggs.. it won't be boring and you won't waste a lot of time
The game crashes so its not a good idea to have autosave off all the time
@@conley2659 i see some people saying this but my game only crashed once and gives you a sign that is gonna crash, second, don't play like 5 hours straight without savings that's just dump and reset your switch each 2 hours or so, just off and on again, and finally you have always a secure backsave system that you can access on the main menu to reload the last " cloud auto save " the game does without you knowing, even with autosave off
Why can't you load after breeding
so i made like you so i made it WRONG XDDDDDDDDDDDD
My shiny counter never increased after I hatched or evolved shiny Charmander. Charmander and its forms aren't in the current Pokedex, so they don't count as a shiny in your profile.
Collecting eggs and checking your shiny count will not tell you that you've got a shiny pokemon. You're wasting time. Hatch your eggs and look at the mark next to their name to be 100% sure.
so its pointless to have more then 4 egg if we just need to reset it?
5 eggs* and no cos it saves time on you sandwiches if you collect lets say 200 a go, i always find it more intresting than collecting 5
So you have to save and make a sandwich. Is it better to make a sandwich first and then save?
once you reset the sandwich buff goes away
But won’t restarting the game reset the egg chain
This method kinda saves a lot of time for not having to manually release each breedjects but what happens if the game decided to crash? That’s what I’m scared of since you only manual save once before breeding. Also, how many eggs would you recommend for us to breed? I have a shiny charm plus masuda method. I might give this a try and maybe breed 30 egg each run. Imagine breeding 90 and above and the game crashes. That’s a huge waste of time!
That's why u turn autosave on haha, plus honestly the game doesn't rlly crash that often, I forgot to turn autosaves on for my hunt and was perfectly fine, and I've only crashed like twice the entire playthrough. If your in an area where no pokemon are spawning (like a team star base) there shouldn't be much lag so your game is very unlikely to crash ^^
@@Toebees_ but his method in this vid requires you to turn off auto save until you have found your shiny that is.
Then why breed all those eggs if your just gonna start all over after 1 egg hatches?
you hatch all the eggs
I've hatched a little over 20 eggs somewhat recently. (A little over 80, total) Nothing has shone, ever. And yeah, I know, I've gotten literally nowhere. I fail to see WHY it's worth doing this.
its really down to your preference. if you dont like it dont do it. Some mons you have to get by egg hunting so thats why its useful, its also quite passive so you dont need to focus. I do prefer seeing them out in the wild though rather than egg hunting.
@@TheCaddington I suppose I'm doing it to get a shiny, but I've barely gotten anywhere in that regard. Only once did I MM a shiny, but that was quite some time ago.
If you have no Flame Bodymon use a Steam Enginemon. Works aswell :D
this is very true, coalossal is a good example
Does the saved game not seed, causing the loaded game to produce the same eggs?
it wont. if you are worried, you can do other actions first before breeding
@@fenrael3021 thank you! will try for a female salandit then scale up with the shiny mesuda method, tysm!!
I thought this game you didn’t need a flame body Pokémon this time
You never need a Pokémon with Flame Body, it just helps hatching eggs. And it DOES help in this generation.
Eggs already are preset btw so youre wrong
so, let’s say i save with eggs in my party that i’m going to hatch, can i hatch those then reset to re hatch those eggs and it will count ? or no.
I did all you said to do. 500 boxes later, still not one shiny.with a ditto from another version in another language and the shiny charm. Wtf.why can't I just get one?
I couldn't even find walking wake nor iron leaves either. Why do I always get screwed over? I have the latest update, too. 😭
@@emily-eh9te I get how you feel but after attempting this. I can confirm it does work. I got a shiny Rookidee by doing this. Just keep at it. I know you will eventually get one.
My game is in spanish, and i have an Spanish Ditto, would that work with an English Eevee or German Cacnea for Masuda Method?
yes that would work :)
@@TheCaddington thanks bro!
IMAGINE NOT STOCKING INGREDIENT ITEMS TO ASTRONOMICAL NUMBERS WOOOOOW
i have changed my ways now, dont you worry hahahah 500+ on everything
I have a quick question about shiny hunting by breeding. So lets say i breed 100 eggs, it isnt determined if one is shiny until i hatch it? My friend tried telling me that it is decided if it is shiny or not once you have the egg but this video makes it sound like the rng dont start until you actually hatch the egg.
shiny is determined when its bred, NOT when its hatched. Thats why you have to breed different eggs everytime
@@TheCaddington okay cool thank you for clarifying that for me.
You have to rebreed after resetting then yeah? You can’t breed them all, save, hatch, reset and then rehatch can you?
The pokemon is generated once the egg is created. If you did that, you'd be hatching the same exact pokemon each time
you have to rebreed, as thomas said the shiny is determined when the egg is bred, not when its hatched
so once you have the pokemon you want to breed save, collect the eggs, then hatch. Then if you didnt get the shiny when hatching restart your game and repeat. Then breed for a new batch of eggs and repeat the process?
bang on mate
@@TheCaddington alright thanks
I got mine witin 12 eggs
Hello, I've been hatching eggs with shiny boost sandwich, does this increase my odds?
No
Nope.
1000 eggs deep with shiny charm and masuda method
good luck brother, mine was 1514, but the next one was 213
Can't you just save from when you have yet to hatch the eggs or is it already preset if it will be a shiny.
If you already have the eggs in your boxes than yes it’s already preset to be shiny
@@I-am_Alpharius ok thanks for the info
I've been trying this method for days, and haven't gotten one shiny!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the odds are anywhere between 1/512 up to 1/4000 depending on how youre doing it so just keep at it. i got my fuecoco at 1514 eggs
@@TheCaddington and your point is?
@@Herozilla8109 Bruh, you comment you havent got one for days and seem angry about it, im saying to keep at it and you will. thats the point
@@TheCaddington if you say so.
People saying shiny counter increases by catching eggs is a lie. Hatch your eggs.
What counts as a foreign ditto? Like how do i check when a ditto is foreign?
A ditto caught in a game with a different language than yours. EG If you get a Ditto from a game that was in Spanish it would have a SPA in the details page and would be a foreign ditto
@@TheCaddington ah ok thank you!
Edit:I have a foreign ditto!
Nobody loves egg hunt
I did the mesuda method, use flame body, and have the shiny charm. It's like a 1/500 chance. I've hatched at least 7 box's of froakie and having to release them is annoying
