Does the Masuda Method really work?

Question

i've been at this annoying method for four days breeding hidden ability bagons and trying to find a shiny amongst them all. I have filled ALL of my boxes except the last two and a bit and I keep wonder trading them away to get crap Pokemon like a modest weedle. Is there no way to make this easier? Or do I have endure more of this...

Answer 1

Yes

Masuda Method does work but it does lower the rate from 1 in 4096 to 1 in 512 with the shiny Charm or 1/683 without I'm XY onwards.

Tips

• For your unwanted Bagons put them up for GTS. HA Pokemon are quickly
  taken or looked for.

• Complete the National Dex to get a Shiny Charm. It hasn't been confirmed officially but sites like Smogon and Serebii Forums are nodding their heads that the Shiny Charm increases the likelihood

Good Luck !
:D

What should I put as the Pokemon I want when I put the HA Bagons on? More clearly, what would be a good trade for someone to take my HA Bagon and give me something better?

HA Dratini is definitely worth it.

HA Bagons are on the go cause of M-Salamce. Yeah HA Dratini is good. :)

I finally got my shiny Bagon. It has a relaxed nature but ive seen worse. Also it has its hidden ability sheer force. So pretty good. Only took me a millenium! Do you guys want any HA Bagons for free? I have like 200 to spare. (Forgetting the other hundreds that i had to release or wondertrade or GTS away because of capacity issues on my PC) my friend code is 3754 8566 7753 and my name is Matthew.

It does increase the likelihood of breeding a shiny. You just have to be patient with the method. Luck is also involved, just remember that.
