This is my first attempt at doing the Masuda Method. I've bred about 14 box fulls of Eevee's in hopes of a shiny for an Umbreon. I'm losing hope. Is it suppose to go on for this long or am I just unlucky /vp/?

I think that you will go for about 6 or so boxes before seeing one, but I've seen people go to 30 before.

>>14948488 Every egg is a 1/1365 chance of being shiny. In other words, it has a 1364/1365 chance of not being shiny.
Each egg is an independent event. So, the odds of n eggs not being shiny is (1364/1365)^n
The odds of at least one egg out of n eggs being shiny is simply 1 minus this value.

>>14948765 I'm assuming the eggs haven't hatched yet. If you've hatched 999 already, then it's not a 50/50 chance of being shiny, it's still the 1/1365 because you're only hatching the one.
But if you plan to hatch 1000 then it's close to 50%.
Anonymous
>>14948765 But that's not what he's calculating. He's saying that if you hatch 1000 eggs, there's a 48.1% chance that you won't get any shinies, and therefore a 51.9% chance of getting at least 1.
He's not saying that the 1000th poke has a 51.9% chance of being shiny, that's retarded.

So, in order for this Masuda method to work, do both Pokemon of question need to be foreign? I have myself a ditto and an Eevee from Japan. Will it still work?
