One thing I had never tried before is Masuda Method breeding for a shiny Pokémon. I recently received a perfect natured 5IV Jap Pokémon over Wonder Trade and thought I'd give it a go.
I am never doing this again.
This has taken over a week so far an no sign of a shiny. I've gotten plenty of perfects, and it just makes me feel bad because I know that my shiny probably won't be perfect Why do people do this? I could have bred 20 perfect Pokémon from scratch in this time.
The worst thing is...I've put so much time into it now that I don't want to stop in case I get one in the next few eggs. This is terrible.
