>>18981115Mine is actually the only shiny I've seen in the competition so far. You really see how bad they spread when you see them all the time normally, but once you get into a segregated competition they're rare as balls.
Still, this fella's my pride and joy. I was using my then-new 6 IV Ditto for breeding, and had just swapped out the 3IV Scyther mother for a 4IV daughter. THIRD EGG came out shiny, with pentaperfect IVs. I'm not a fan of shiny Scizor's color, but I was STOKED. It came out Swarm though. Luckily, I described my plight on a forum and a kind soul gave me an Ability Capsule, and all he wanted in return was to see my shiny Scyther next to his normal one in the trade window to compare.
I got pic related in exactly the same way, too - swapped 3IV mother for a 4IV, only I got this guy on the fifth egg. The missing HP IV is 30, so he's essentially perfect, too.
All of my Masuda shinies have been dumb luck like that - whenever I've TRIED to MM, I got nothing.
