I can honestly say here, I have a Japanese ditto breeding with a galarian slowpoke to get 2 shinies, I got the first one in 257 eggs but the 2nd one is being a pain to get as I've hatched nearly 600 eggs since the first shiny and not gotten another one since, even though I have the shiny charm and oval charm with a flame body coalossal and the different language ditto but i'm still not getting the shiny, i'm not doing anything wrong, so I don't get why i'm not getting the shiny
@@TheShockinator1000 im pretty sure u got it already since its been a month lol but each egg is 1 in 500 or so odds (meaning the 2nd egg isnt gonna be 2 in 500, 3rd egg isnt gonna be 3 in 500 and so on). The masuda method lowers the odds but is still pure luck as i have hatched shiny pokemon in as low as 3 eggs and as high as 1,200 eggs :/ it all depends how many u breed a day as well. Personally, im breeding 100 eggs a day so it wont be so overwhelming and feel like a chore after a day or 2 of nonstop breeding. Just keep going and dont give up! :)
@@mz_skittles-1034 i have given up cause my luck getting shiny pokemon is literally trash, regardless what i do i rare get them, yes it is 1 in 512 chance each egg and getting 1 shiny in over 1000 eggs is not good for my liking in the shiny charm masuda method, why i looked on pokemon home to see if any shinies were there and just took them for pokemon i didn't need in my inventory for never using them
@@TheShockinator1000 what pokemon were u trying to hatch? I have noticed that starters take forever. I always get them around 800 to 930 eggs and dragon types just take forever to hatch making it feel like more eggs than usual. Also, make sure its pokemon from 2 different regions by double checking the pokemon's summary right before putting them in the daycare. There r times when i put 2 in the daycare with the same region. I put a japanese ditto and japanese vulpix with an english nickname together 4 months ago and didnt notice until i reached around 3000 eggs xD another thing is wat adrive said in the video. Alot of people think u can breed 5 eggs and just keep soft resetting until it comes out shiny and this is false. Eggs r determined shiny or not as soon as u get them from the nursery lady. If ur 5 eggs doesnt come out shiny, it will never be shiny.
This video is over 20 minutes long and usually I wouldn’t touch a tutorial video that’s this long but there wasn’t a single second where I didn’t learn something valuable. You were so insightful and it means a lot to have someone who thinks through these things and tries to really teach and i appreciate that. You deserve every like and every subscription and I hope you become the main youtuber when it comes to learning.

I spent 2 years grinding for a shiny perfect iv ditto on my old save for platinum. Completely worth it, One of my most cherished shinies. (Also you should go back and make videos with this style again, they were really professional and informative while not being boring!)
he irony is, they literally handed to us on a silver platter "you love being competitive and breed, here you go, have fun" which is pretty nice, since its literally also saying "please stop hacking, we know you like perfect IVs, but do it legitimately"
@@quazarKiragon Or people have actual lives and can’t spend hours hatching eggs, and its not like they can just use regular Pokémon you’d get swept instantly. I’m not saying it’s right but I do understand why. This was a good move for the community now more adult and casual players are able to compete with everyone else without having to neglect their real life responsibilities, plus less hacked Pokemon its a win/win.
The dude that you get the shiny charm from also gives you a catching charm if you haven’t completed your Pokédex. It increases the chance of getting a critical catch. :)
After an amazingly fun 160 hours in game. I've settled down and focused. I've completed my DeX. Got all items in this video and more. Organized my boxes. Nature Synchronize Raltz etc! Time to start making some battle ready shiny mons! Thanks to your channel for aiding me along the way man. Props to your hard work! You have an army behind you you my friend!
There may be more detailed info out there, but this was very straight forward beginning to end. All of the huge amount of info smashed together as short as you could. I appreciate this kind of stuff on YT
People have been using Link Trade Code; (4448) do trade international dittos. Just make sure to send a ditto to the next guy too. I got mine in 3 trades
i knew most of this as someone that's done competitive breeding for a while but it's so nice having all the info in one spot, thank you for the useful video. hey, i even learned that toxel couldn't breed [though i assumed as much anyway]
Amazing video. You literally answered any possible question I could have. Extremely thorough and I love that. Sometimes I watch a video and have many questions left over. Not for this video. Keep up the awesome work!
Everything you need in short :)) \/ 1) That stone 2) This knot (must beat the main story) 3) IV Checker (must beat leon) it‘s not necessarily needed but pretty damn good 4) Pokémon w/ Flame Body (you might already have one, go check!) 5) Dittooo 6) The two items in that snow city lmao
12:37 I have been breeding for a competitive dreepy for a long time and the dreepy that I originally used had the standard ability, infiltrator and eventually i got one with the ability cursed body. The only time I changed the Pokémon to breed was when I got a better one from an egg
there is actually a niche mechanic that you missed, if you want to breed say for example a kanto meowth it will still come out as a galarian meowth unless the kanto meowth you have holds an everstone but this makes breeding the exact nature you want pretty hard. i did the testing for it and found that if you want a different nature you would have to take either a ditto with the nature you want or a male in the same egg group with the nature you want and have both of them with everstones, in which case the offspring will still come out as kanto meowths but have a 50 50 to have one of the two natures instead of the guaranteed one originally and once you have the specific form with the nature you want you would then be able to perfect breed or whatever else you may want to do
I bred 3 perfect Pokemon last night!! I used the perfect G-Max Eevee to breed my perfect Cufant and Grookey, then used my perfect Grookey to breed my perfect Applin. Did it pretty quickly too!
this is how you get lucky egg: travel to Hulbury and talk to the chef behind the counter at the Seafood Restaurant. He will give you three errands to run. The third will reward you with a Lucky Egg. Maybe you have to progress in story during errands. I did it after story.
Pretty good guide man. Definitely using breeding as my main method of shiny hunting some mons. I will mention that having a flame body mon doesn't feel necessary this gen. I think the step count is extremely low now. I'd just hit up one or two dens and then head back to the breeders. By then, a few eggs will have hatched and I can pick up some more.
Gen 7 technically had a method similar to this. Wild double battles could guarantee 4 ivs and increase shiny chances just like 5 star raids but u needed to chain 31 pokemon in one battle.
The best way to get a foreign ditto: go find some friends who play a different language version game, SR for a ditto with high IVs, then battle it with your foreign friends, then trade your ditto with each other
i have heard it still works if the person is playing the game in another language even if they're in the same region as you, geographically. so if someone didn't have switch online, but had another friend with a switch irl, you can just set up another profile & start the game in another language.
this is old video but thank you. this truly helped. I was going to breed a deino that has 5 perfect ivs, I gave it the destiny knot so hopefully the shiny will have 5 perfect ivs as well. thank you for teaching me this. this is going into my liked and saved pile. it will always help coming back to it
I didn't see this in the comments but there is a link trade code that people trade dittos from different languages. When you start a link trade, set the link code to "4448", you'll have a better chance finding a foreign ditto than in surprise trade. Hope this helps
Austin Mark I traded my shiny Charizard with bad stats for a shiny JPN Ditto with 6 Best IV. Should I be worried if it’s haked that it’s going to affect my posibilites of breeding a shiny?
People often are mistaken trough the fact "Illegal pokemon corrupt your game" which is totally fake, as an Pkhex user I can assure you is IMPOSSIBLE to trade and Illegal pokemon, the real term is "illegitimate" wich means the pokemon has been generated from and external program. Again, this won't affect your game so it's really silly to say "be careful with illegal pokémon" since you can't even have one if you're not the owner.
I'm not really against it since it won't ruin your game. My only concern, and it might be dumb, is what if someday we all wanted to go to a big, official, tournament for money or something. Would nintendo be able to tell if someone had an "illegitimate" pokemon??? And say they're disqualified? Thats the only worry that ran through my head, but how would they even tell? 🤣
I’m probably going to wait for Pokémon HOME to come out, since I have Dittos for every nature and a variety of stats. I think I have a foreign Ditto too.
@@christianorellana7761 Nature mints do not actually change the nature, i.e. Jolly (+Spe, -SpA) -> Timid (+Spe, -Atk), it only changes the stats that are affected, i.e. Jolly (+Spe, -SpA) -> Jolly (+Spe, -Atk). If you want to breed with a Pokemon, it has to have the nature you want, it will not pass down a nature gained from a nature mint, i.e. a Ditto and Corviknight both with Timid nature will only produce offspring with a Timid nature, even if you use Jolly mints on both Pokemon.
@@carstairstv4700 That's true but I think the point was breeding for nature is itself not as important anymore, since you can use a mint to make any Pokemon competitive.
@@raichu5458 You can, but I still wouldn't advise it. I can almost guarantee that nature mints and bottle caps will not transfer the stats into Pokemon Home, just like they didn't when transferred to Pokemon Bank. They do not change the Pokemon itself, they merely make it act like it has a certain nature or perfect stats, so using mints and bottle caps does not make a permanent competitive Pokemon, only one until the next generation comes out.
If Destiny Knot passes down 5 of 6 IVs, could you use the EV training items to guarantee a stat from one parent, while the Destiny Knot guarantees the other 5?
It only works on pokemons with two abilities that are not HA. (eg: Drampa’s Berserk or Sap Sipper) You can use the ability capsule if you have Sap Sipper Drampa but prefer Berserk Drampa but never to Cloud Nine Drampa. PS: Good news to you, this upcoming DLC has been said that there is a Hidden Ability Capsule. ;)
Didn't beat around the bush or clickbait. This was a genuinely helpful and very comprehensive guide. Guess I just gotta go beg for a foreign ditto now 😂
Correction 2 different languages don’t effect Shiny rate and has the same Shiny Chance as if you were to breed 2 non foreign Pokémon. Now what gets you the 508 shiny chance with eggs with Shiny Charm is using 1 Pokémon native from your game and 1 foreign Pokémon, using two does not effect the chance.
So can you just playthrough the game on a different profile in a different language and then breed a mon from that profile with one from your other English profile? Or is it "region" based?
Tip for Foreign Dittos (if language is the key): Most of you probably know this, but different accounts on your switch have different saves, with different languages to play in each time. Most schools require some sort of Spanish class requirement to graduate, so some of you will have learned some bits and pieces. Spanish is also one of the easiest languages to interpret if you speak English, as many words are almost direct copies of each other. Stumble your way through the game, and try to catch a good IV ditto, and trade it to your sibling/friend and have them send it back to your main account. I hope this helps:)
@@Joesewz imagine still getting triggered, again I'll say what I want to where I want to. Not everyone needs to see you post your shitty meme either if you wanna play.
This helped so much! Got all the items/components (except shiny charm) in about 45 mins, and even after using two different 4/6 IV Dittos, I got my perfect IV Applin, after a few hours. Now to find the hidden ability.
Always never understood that: ability capsules change normal abilities, or hidden abilities to normal but not normal to hidden... In other words we will let you have your one ability that you can't cap but don't worry you can change pick up (a non combat ability) to frisk which tells you an item, which generally can be guessed anyway so also useless - all this for 100 BP which takes you hours and hours of play to achieve per capsule
@@raichu5458 He heard wrong. Hidden abilities still pass to the child when breeding in the same way than before (easier if the female has the HA but still posible with the male and ditto but never guaranted)
In the same hotel you can recieve the catching charm (at any point in the game). It increases the chance of a critical capture and is 100 percent free. In case you guys haven't heard about it yet.
So I've been shiny breeding Eevee and Sobble for a good while now, I keep the females for surprise trading and release the males as they're much more common. Females are more desirable in surprise/wonder trading right?
@@GHNerland I have the shiny charm with 34 shinies so far. I've just had random shiny g-max raids that I could have caught if I had extra master bus at the time. I now have 15 master balls
To pass the egg move you have to put two mons (have to be the exact same ex. Can't do a clefarie with clefable, they have to both be clefable) also the pokeball can come from either parent, it's not locked to the male, the only time it's locked to a parent is if ditto is used. Good luck breeding

My only concern, and it might be dumb, is what if someday we all wanted to go to a big, official, tournament for money or something. Would nintendo be able to tell if someone had an "illegitimate" pokemon??? And say they're disqualified?
Thats the only worry that ran through my head, but how would they even tell? 🤣
I have a Japanese ditto but it has bad stats should I get a better ditto or use if for a different language?
I’m probably going to wait for Pokémon HOME to come out, since I have Dittos for every nature and a variety of stats. I think I have a foreign Ditto too.
there's a mint that changes pokemon's natures, no need to breed for nature, i think
@@christianorellana7761 Nature mints do not actually change the nature, i.e. Jolly (+Spe, -SpA) -> Timid (+Spe, -Atk), it only changes the stats that are affected, i.e. Jolly (+Spe, -SpA) -> Jolly (+Spe, -Atk). If you want to breed with a Pokemon, it has to have the nature you want, it will not pass down a nature gained from a nature mint, i.e. a Ditto and Corviknight both with Timid nature will only produce offspring with a Timid nature, even if you use Jolly mints on both Pokemon.
@@carstairstv4700 That's true but I think the point was breeding for nature is itself not as important anymore, since you can use a mint to make any Pokemon competitive.
@@raichu5458 You can, but I still wouldn't advise it. I can almost guarantee that nature mints and bottle caps will not transfer the stats into Pokemon Home, just like they didn't when transferred to Pokemon Bank. They do not change the Pokemon itself, they merely make it act like it has a certain nature or perfect stats, so using mints and bottle caps does not make a permanent competitive Pokemon, only one until the next generation comes out.
@@raichu5458 mints are 50 Bp one run of 10 trainers in the battle tower taking 30 min and giving u 20 Bp so u still should breed for natures
Best poketuber by far
If Destiny Knot passes down 5 of 6 IVs, could you use the EV training items to guarantee a stat from one parent, while the Destiny Knot guarantees the other 5?
Not EV but IVs like those battle caps and mints.
All the love and passion aside, would it be worth to start breeding perfect 6iv shinies if you don’t plan on competitive?
Thanks guys ! ✌️
The gigantimax Flapple at @12:41 looks like it has feet because of how Adrive is standing 🤣
I’ve decided to learn how to breed really good competitive Pokémon as well as shiny hunting and this video helped a lot with this
I was watching this vid while I finally breed a shiny god bless this video
What shiny??
@@thatoneguynoonelikes6974 shiny impidimp
I did it after i bred my shiny btw its a slowpoke
Underrated video. Thanks for the information.
“It just doesn’t work that way...” ~aDrive 2019
Mate this is exactly what I needed! Thanks. You are a legend
Ability capsule cant turn hidden to normal ability, I had ferrothorn with anticipation and told me it was not compatible
Me too my Umbreon with Konzentrator is not compatible :(
It only works on pokemons with two abilities that are not HA. (eg: Drampa’s Berserk or Sap Sipper) You can use the ability capsule if you have Sap Sipper Drampa but prefer Berserk Drampa but never to Cloud Nine Drampa.
PS: Good news to you, this upcoming DLC has been said that there is a Hidden Ability Capsule. ;)
Right on time breeding for my competitive shiny scorbunny right now. Pushing out the content thank you
Ramxenoc I think ima wait till hidden abilities come out for the starters then go for the shinys
@@roberttejeda3390 yeah I saw after I started...but I might shiny breed that one too.
Just hatched my 2nd perfect Gossifleur!
All best IVs and mild nature for the extra special bulk!
Time to breed until i get a 5 iv shiny!
Lucky. I'm trying to get a perfect orbeetle
Can I get one of them Gossifleurs??
@@razielslaughter3332 cotton down or regenerator?
Secular Human I’m thinking Regenerator would be best for competitive play.
@@razielslaughter3332 code 6669
Very detailed and not confusing. Great guide!
Actually, you can pass down the G-Max DNA to the offspring, it just rarely happens. I was able to breed a G-Max Charmander.
Your accent sounds like totally Kyle from the Amanda show.. I’m aging myself, but I do mean that in the nicest way possible. You make awesome vids btw
What does the lucky egg do in breeding? I know it gives increased xp, but what does it do in breeding?
The Lucky Egg does not have, and never has, an effect on breeding. It is purely for experience gain, 50% to be exact.
Thank you, I don’t know why he mentioned it then 🤔
@@merlinthewizard5164 Did he mention the Lucky Egg? I didn't catch that if he did.
@@carstairstv4700 It was mentioned in one of the tweets for some reason.
Didn't beat around the bush or clickbait. This was a genuinely helpful and very comprehensive guide. Guess I just gotta go beg for a foreign ditto now 😂
When I was foowoling u, I found out we both got 23 bp! That’s my birth date! April 23red!
Correction 2 different languages don’t effect Shiny rate and has the same Shiny Chance as if you were to breed 2 non foreign Pokémon.
Now what gets you the 508 shiny chance with eggs with Shiny Charm is using 1 Pokémon native from your game and 1 foreign Pokémon, using two does not effect the chance.
So can you just playthrough the game on a different profile in a different language and then breed a mon from that profile with one from your other English profile? Or is it "region" based?
imagine if ditto was included in the Dexit
@v KEITH v no more national pokedex
Well, if they cut ditto, then the comp scene wouldn’t be close to what it is
today
Tip for Foreign Dittos (if language is the key): Most of you probably know this, but different accounts on your switch have different saves, with different languages to play in each time. Most schools require some sort of Spanish class requirement to graduate, so some of you will have learned some bits and pieces. Spanish is also one of the easiest languages to interpret if you speak English, as many words are almost direct copies of each other. Stumble your way through the game, and try to catch a good IV ditto, and trade it to your sibling/friend and have them send it back to your main account. I hope this helps:)
So I could have a team that comes out of masterballs
Masterballs can’t breed down
You can if you have a friend who you trade with to keep some pokes for you and you are willing to play through the game 6 times
Best guide I’ve seen so far

Can this meme just go away its trash
@@Joesewz it's as simple as I'll say what I want lmao just as you can
@@Joesewz imagine still getting triggered, again I'll say what I want to where I want to. Not everyone needs to see you post your shitty meme either if you wanna play.
@@aresgodofgaming2309 So... you can say what you want and this other person can't?
@@marcuscaz7978 i literally said he can say what he wants to 😂 what're you talking about
Pretty good one. Ive been far from the Pokemon breed for a while so this video was pretty helpfull.
this guy has a 6 iv foreign ditto and he says he never used the glitch ... meanwhile i cant get a 5 iv english one even with the glitch lol
Yes, HE never used the glitch.
This helped so much! Got all the items/components (except shiny charm) in about 45 mins, and even after using two different 4/6 IV Dittos, I got my perfect IV Applin, after a few hours. Now to find the hidden ability.
Always never understood that: ability capsules change normal abilities, or hidden abilities to normal but not normal to hidden...
In other words we will let you have your one ability that you can't cap but don't worry you can change pick up (a non combat ability) to frisk which tells you an item, which generally can be guessed anyway so also useless - all this for 100 BP which takes you hours and hours of play to achieve per capsule
I think it’s cool that thanks to hyper training and nature mints, any Pokémon can be used competitively (unless you want egg moves)
I was so bummed out when someone told me that hidden abilities don't pass on in breeding anymore! Thanks aDrive for correcting that 🙋
wait seriously??? D:
@@raichu5458 He heard wrong. Hidden abilities still pass to the child when breeding in the same way than before (easier if the female has the HA but still posible with the male and ditto but never guaranted)
@@lightdx7008 PHEW. that is such a relief. Thank you!
In the same hotel you can recieve the catching charm (at any point in the game). It increases the chance of a critical capture and is 100 percent free. In case you guys haven't heard about it yet.
So I've been shiny breeding Eevee and Sobble for a good while now, I keep the females for surprise trading and release the males as they're much more common. Females are more desirable in surprise/wonder trading right?
Never release them, wonder trade them. You can use this to farm master balls
@@quintontimler2765 I don't use Master Balls... Ever (or at least since gen 3). The PP prizes are nice though (already have 4 boxes full of traded).
Purefusion X neither did I, until I came across a shiny g-max charizard Raid online and choked it. I used the ball on a shiny g-max gengar
@@quintontimler2765 how's your shiny luck? I've 5 separate shinies and 12 on the 'shiny dex' (back of the trainer card).
@@GHNerland I have the shiny charm with 34 shinies so far. I've just had random shiny g-max raids that I could have caught if I had extra master bus at the time. I now have 15 master balls
On my gosh, this is soo helpful. Easily the best breeding guide of Pokemon.
I live in the uk does that mean if I get an American ditto it’s foreign
I'm from the UK and it has to be in another Language so American is English still, So you need a Japanese, Korean, German ect Ditto :)
@Sean Heaney
That doesn’t count, to my knowledge. Both versions are from English territories, so it wouldn’t work.
To pass the egg move you have to put two mons (have to be the exact same ex. Can't do a clefarie with clefable, they have to both be clefable) also the pokeball can come from either parent, it's not locked to the male, the only time it's locked to a parent is if ditto is used. Good luck breeding
I was hatching eggs this morning of starters traded to me from friends and was thinking man my eggs are hatching soooooo fast... forgot my coalossal had flame body xD
Such a helpful video for people like myself since I am new to Pokemon and I would love to try breeding for a shiny Pokemon:) Thanks for the guide!
Or.... Just get a shiny, use a mint, use a bottlecap, use tons of vitamins and done. No need to pass down IV's.
@Austin Mark It's easy, just time consuming
@Austin Mark Leveling to 100 is super easy. Do a few raids and you get a crap ton of candy. Also BP isn't that hard to come by.
This was direct to the point and very informative!
I just need the everstone o have my litwick for flame body
Thanks for posting this now I can finally get into competitive
Can someone trade me a non-English Ditto with 5 Iv for my English Ditto with 5 Iv on sword and shield?
