I'm driving myself insane with this Masuda Method bullshit. 15 boxes of vulpix in and no god damn shiny but I've passed the point of no return. I've already put so much time into it it would be pointless to stop now. I need some motivation /vp/ ITT: MASUDA SUCCESS STORIES

Just so I get this. MM is breeding with an international Ditto and hoping for the best? Is there any reasoning/proof behind this?

Five eggs or so. Four boxes into Furfrou, though.

every single shiny ive ever gotten has been from MMing. Ponyta took me probably 7 boxes on White, regret trading him off later cause his IVs were amazing. Lileep i was actually just breeding for decent IVs and nature +storm drain, but in the end just got a suction cups shiny. Larvesta took me 3 boxes, but unfortunately his speed stat ended up as a 0. feels bad.
