Alright so I've been hunting pic related for the past few days and I'm getting tired of it at ~600 eggs. How does /vp/ get & hatch their eggs the fastest? Share your tips and whatnot. For me, one box takes like 45-60 minutes to complete due to distractions

I'm at 27 boxes now with no shiny.

This is the longest it has ever taken me. The most eggs I've hatched for a shiny before was 600

I know how you feel, 20 boxes of Fennikens and nothing, Only Shinies I have found in my life were by accident in the wild, First was Heart Gold with a Shiny Oddish and then Pokemon Y with Bellsprout followed by a Shiny Pink Ice Cream a month later.

That and my friend gave me a Shiny Latias that I do want to trade for a Gen 6 Shiny (Gourgeist, Honedge, Sylveon, Fenniken, Furfrou, or Hawlucha)

The first time I wonder traded I got a Japanese abra. I was too early in the game to get a ditto so I just caught a Pokemon in its egg group: machop. I put them in the dacare and it was a shiny on the 4th egg. Now, I'm on egg 600 of gastly and hope is slowly fading

I'd kill for pic related. I completed the dex on B2 and got the shiny charm, so I'm thinking about restarting W2, trading all my mons from B2 (which includes a Latias already) to get the shiny charm and then grinding. What does /vp/ think? Would it be faster to skip the shiny charm and just grind right after beating the game? Does the game allow Latias to appear shiny?
