FAQ:

>What are shiny pokemon?
Glad you asked! They're extremely rare variations of pokemon with different color pallets. There's about a 1/8000 chance of encountering them in the wild randomly without any RNG manipulation or methods that increase your chance of encountering one, so it isn't uncommon for some players to have never seen one before despite having played one or more games.
>1/8000 is too high! How do I get one easily?
The most common methods are the Masuda Method, Shiny Fishing, and PokeRadar Chaining, however there seems to be a higher chance of finding shinies in the Friend Safari as well. The three aforementioned methods are covered in the guides section in OP.
>What's the Masuda Method?
Named after Junichi Masuda, one of Diamond/Pearl's developers, programmed a little something special into the games that increases the shiny rate when breeding under certain conditions. Simply, a pokemon traded from a foreign country should be breeded with a pokemon from your cartridge. This increases the rate of an egg containing a shiny by 4x in DPPt, and 5x in prior games. See the guide in OP for more details.
>What's a shiny charm?
An item in Gen V that increases your chances of finding a shiny. 1/2730 in the wild, and 1/1024 when using the Masuda Method.
>Is the shiny rate higher in the Friend Safari?
The majority of /vp/ thinks this is true, but there hasn't been a datamine of the X/Y ROMs so nobody can say for sure.

>How do I fish for shiny mons?
See the GFShinyGuide link in OP. While far easier to find and catch than with the other methods, the pool of available pokemon attainable from fishing is small, and because they much easier to catch, they aren't valued as high as other non-fishable shiny pokemon. Don't fret, you can usually throw a fishing shiny up on the GTS and get most any non-shiny pokemon for it. No hard shiny:normal fish ratios yet, but a rough estimate brings it around 1/200 on average at maximum probability.
>What is chaining?
When using the Pokeradar under extremely certain circumstances, one can increase their probability of encountering a shiny in grass. This is the more tricky method of the three, as it requires that you follow certain rules in order not to break your "chain" or "streak". The higher your chain, the more likely it is that you'll encounter a shiny. See the guide in OP for more details.

I got fucked with my parents. Both had a 31 speed IV but this one doesn't, so the game chose not to pass that and choose the inferior Ditto's stats over the 5 IV Honedge parent's except for HP and attack, which both of them had at 31.

I'm really sorry but I'm looking specifically for a select few because this kirlia was meant to go to my brother but I feel like he'd prefer the female equivalent and also having him make a shiny male gardevoir is wasting the chance at a neato gallade like I said.
Terribly sorry again.

I used a 4 IV foreign female with a 5 IV male, yet only defense and special defense are maxed. Oh, well. It's going to be an Umbreon anyway.

It's Lax with Trace and "relatively superior overall" with its greatest potential in HP and Attack which I assume means they're both 31IV?

I have no clue whether or not this is bad so you can weigh your options but if you do choose to accept is your female nicknameable?

And I don't recall the ball, but it's fine, I'm reluctant myself on giving this Mawile anyway. Raise the Sneasel to become a fine Weavile. And try fishing on the GTS for some Japanese Mawile. I got this one from a guy that was asking for a Ditto.
