Re: To-Do List

[sarillia]

I need to look into how to do that. I actually do really like shinies.

Re: To-Do List

[badass_tiger]

Let me help! I love explaining this :D Do you know what shiny values are, to begin with?

Re: To-Do List

[sarillia]

Nope! I am completely clueless about the whole thing.

Oh okay! You don't mind if I explain it, right? Even if you don't want to know now, you can just come back to this explanation later when you do, right? I've never actually seen a good guide to SV-hatching, I think most people just find out through osmosis and then ask about the parts they're not sure of.

Basically, all Gen 6 save files are assigned a random Trainer Shiny Value (TSV) the moment they are started. Your TSV can be any number from 0 to 4095 (they are usually denoted as four digits, so a TSV of 0 will be written as 0000). All Pokemon that you catch or breed are assigned an Egg Shiny Value (ESV) that can also be any number from 0 to 4095. If your TSV matches up with a Pokemon's ESV, then that Pokemon will turn out shiny when you encounter it if in the wild, or hatch it if it's an egg.

So the trick is to breed the Pokemon you want, check their ESVs while they are still eggs, and then find people with the corresponding TSV so they can hatch it shiny and trade it back to you.

You can check ESVs using KeyBV or KeySAV2. Anyone can set up KeyBV, but you need a hacking device (they do have legit uses, like being able to read game data which is what is happening here) or a digital copy to use KeySAV2. It's much more common to ask someone else to help you check though, since most people don't want to go through the trouble of setting up the programmes themselves.

That's the technical side in a brief overview. Let me know if you want to know more about how to do all of this, but here is the SV Exchange subreddit, which also has some more in-depth info in its Wiki, and is the main place people go to to post their TSVs, find other people's TSVs, or get their ESVs checked.
