Is there a known percentage of Pokemon who choose to stay, at least? That would make me feel more comfortable. I'd probably guess about 30% myself, but I'm just pulling numbers out of the air.

So I have a question, I get how the magicarp method works, what i don't get is the point of it. Could a kind anon explain it to me? The point of using it over regular breeding that is.
Anonymous
>>31603004 Magikarp only takes roughly 1k steps to hatch, while most others take between 5k-10k. You go through eggs much faster with the karp method. Think of it as an always-active, super-overpowered Hatching O-Power.

>>31602910 Quick disclaimer, I've never actually tried this, but yes this is what people have been saying.
You can keep playing normally otherwise. If you check on it tomorrow and it's not there, reset until it is. Only way to screw it up is if you save after you've already checked and it wasn't there.
If you want to be really safe you can save every time before you go into Pelago I guess.
Anonymous
>>31603071 No problem. Just remember to never save while owning any unhatched eggs, and to always take out the Magikarp parent once you receive your 30th egg. And if you really want, you can even do what I did and breed a 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 IV Magikarp so that you can see at a glance which stats the offspring will inherit and from which parent. It's incredibly useful.
Which is ironic because I named him King Useless. >>31603082 Alright, thanks for the tip. I'm a bit nervous, but I'll trust you and try it out tomorrow.

One last Magikarp question: if I want my shiny to have a specific nature, should I give an everstone to the karp? If breeding genderless Pokemon requires skipping an egg to make up for the skipped gender check, it would make sense that passing a nature down from the parent of the shiny I want would require skipping an egg to make up for the skipped nature check

Why does it seem like it takes far far far more boxes to hatch a shiny National Dex mon with the MM and Shiny Charm in SM?

Apparently I ran out of Leftovers to stick on bulky pokemon, so I elected to get some more. Apparently, just as I'm about to Thief the last Muchlax (using 5 Butterfrees with Thief), it summons shiny. Unfortunately, it might be hard to distinguish in the picture, but it helps to have the non-shiny adjacent for comparison. It's my second ever (and incidentally encountered) shiny in Moon. On a different note, it was unusually fortuitous that the first shiny I got was smeargle, because I basically raised it optimally to tackle the task of completing the alola pokedex.

Quoted By:
>>31627006 It's way easier to get the shiny but you need to synchronize it. If you don't want the tedium of collecting eggs or simply don't have the time to collect 800 eggs for a shiny, it's way better in every way. Otherwise if you do have the patience, breeding produces one more perfect IV (with the right parents) and has the desired nature, so it's better there.

So I have two 5IV parents, and a destiny knot. How do I guarantee that the resulting (soon-to-hatch) shiny has the correct IVs? (perfect 5IV, including attack but not special attack)
Anonymous
>>31629050 Do both parents have all 5 IVs in everything but special attack? Put an Everstone on the parent you want to pass on the nature and the other parent gets the destiny knot. Even then though the offspring may not be perfect, knot only passes on 5 IVs and the 6th is random.

>>31629347 Yes, they both have perfect 5IV, something else in special attack. Yet the babies are still not identical to them. Am I doing something wrong?
