Here's a big heads up that I mentioned in the video but some people glossed over. ONLY pokemon holding breeding items will breed. So either DON'T give your ditto destiny knots, or make the other 3 hold everstones or something.

3 to 3 with items not working Let me know what I'm doing wrong I've tried destiny knots on each ditto with 3 male have nothing, didn't breed I've tried destiny knots on each male with 3 dittos have nothing, didn't breed All 6 pokemon have items, didn't breed Does breed 1 ditto with destiny knot 3 males with items each Or 1 ditto with destiny knot, males with no items Looking at your video All no items does breed Conclusion Its not possible to breed 3 ditto with 3 male with any items?

Fair warning to everyone triple-Masuda-Method-hunting the starters: Sprigatito and Fuecoco are in the same Egg Group, so if your breeding partners are opposite gender, make sure they’re from different languages for the Shiny boost! You’ll also notice slightly more of the female starter’s Eggs

@@johnnyp1986 Not really, it’s WAY easier to trade for three random foreign starters and use 5IV or 6IV Ditto you found yourself in your own language. Since male-female ratio is 7-1, you have a 1/3 chance basically of one of your three starters just being a female. There’s too much demand nowadays for foreign 5-6IV Ditto, it’s tricky to get three as soon as you start the game, without good Shinies or Apriballs to trade

Yeah, it's nice. But I'm surprised people and mons in the overworld don't react to the hatching eggs. In the anime, an hatching egg is basically a mini light show. Hard to not notice that, especially if it's happening every two minutes. 😂😂
the level of scrutiny and science that goes into your tests appeases the engineer inside of me. great videos. I'm a new follower as of a few weeks ago but your content is unlike anything ive seen. very robust and you truly care about the game so i like that
Austin John has some of the most informative and painstakingly researched pokemon content. Straight-forward information and so well explained in every video.
For simple hatching I recommend just riding around that big circle in the middle of Levincia, you just have to hold up and a little to the side and the camera follows automatically. You may bump into npcs the first times but when you get the hang of it you will figure out the perfect place to ride in it and the perfect angle you have to hold on your joystick

Ugh, this was SO helpful, i just wish I'd known about the whole everstone/destiny knot before. After going over odds on both Toxel (867) and Sprigatito (1450+) i was so about ready to give up on breeding, but i definitely could have saved myself a lot of time and headache by doing the reset method and having two sets of pkmn breeding at once. Fantastic video as always, and I'll definitely use these tips in the future. :D
As always, more helpful info for those of us that don’t have the time to test these theories. Thanks!
Something that I had read and cannot confirm; when you pick up an egg with a shiny Pokémon in it, you’re “Shiny Pokémon Battled” stat on your trainer card will increase. Something worth testing at the very least. Could save a lot of time.

Btw you can mass release on Pokémon home So it just takes max 2 minutes to get things done for the switching between apps.
2:50 Love that you thought of this too, I realized this a while ago and it helps alot, saves me like a minute and a half every thirty eggs. I always get thirty eggs (fills a whole box) which takes around 12 minutes from the food buff, then I put 5 at a time in my party and hatch them all. Usually my food buff ends before I hatchd them all but honestly the hatch speed withoutt he buff isn't long so I don't bother renewing the buff until the next 30. Then, if the thirty I hatched have nothing I want - like no max IVs (If I'm wanting it) and/or no shiny, I reset and easy, no work necessary releasing.
Once again coming in clutch with exactly what I was wondering about right as I happened to be wondering about it! Austin you are the Realest of MVP's :D

Important note on turning off autosaves with eggs: I don't know how bred shinies are calculated in this game, but I know in Sun and Moon the shiny rolls are already done out to a certain number of eggs. If SV calculates egg shinies the same way as SM did, then turning off autosaves and resetting would be a total waste of time. Just be careful unless you have confirmation that the rolls are done when the egg is generated! Edit: if the shiny Fuecoco he hatched was hatched using the autosave mass release method, then disregard the above concerns ;)

In SV the RNG gets seeded using a CryptoSecure function for all types of encounters, including eggs, which makes it completely unpredictable. SM was unique, there was an egg RNG seed which followed a predictable path every time an egg was accepted/declined. This seed didn't change after restarting the game either.

The destiny knot phenomenon works for everstone as well. I gave an everstone to one of my three starters and the only eggs that came out were of that one starter only
Super happy for you finding that shiny at 8:20, but from a guy who is over odds hunting fuecoco by over 100 encounters I will say it’s a little painful
Skeledirge's hot pink is soooo nice!!! Wish the white and black were swapped though since hot pink and black go so good together but it's still amazing!
Been Masuda breeding starters for myself and my friend that helped me complete the dex, got 1 quaxly and 1 sprigatito so far. Just to put a few more numbers out there for people, I've gotten roughly 60 eggs per 30 minutes checking every 3 minutes, with a low of 55 and a high of 68 across about 20 picnics. I've averaged 17 minutes of hatching per box of eggs (so 30 eggs) without any egg power to speed that up, so each sesh takes roughly 65-70 minutes. One big tip to anyone who reads this and may wanna do this: if you're gonna turn off autosaves and close the game if your sesh yields no shinies: Double check your boxes before you start grabbing eggs. I swear the game still autosaves at times with the autosaves off, resulting in things like eggs scattered across small holes in my boxes because I switched boxes to get my flame body pokemon and the game stayed there on reload even though there was no save with me on that box. If that would bother you make sure you're on the right box before you start breeding.

I’ve done two masuda hunts so far for Quaxly and Flabébé, can confirm my results were roughly the same, though I never had the issue with eggs being misplaced because I always ensured that I was on an empty box when I started. Masuda method hunting in this game is a lot more relaxing since you only really need to pay attention to check your basket every few minutes, but it does take longer now imo.
Got a Masuda Ditto finally last night! Definitely going to try some breeding today. 😄
I discovered this on accident once. I had my fire starter male, then a female Zoroark, then a female Lucario. I ended up with 3 eggs... It was a picnic and I wasn't really even trying for anything. The first 2 eggs were Zorua and the third was riolu. I thought it was some kind of mistake. It is really nice to know that you can breed for several different pokemon at once. I just caught the first riolu I saw initially and didn't realize it was female. It used to be that the gender ratio favored finding a male. I only knew that I wanted a Zoroark and Lucario on my team. I always find your content helpful and amazing!! Keep up the awesome work and have a great day!!!

Going all the way around the full circle including the dirt path that leads to the school town and coming back around to Los Platos coming back in I cut to the left of the circle and then making a sharp right on the road and restarting that path.
As usual thanks you Breeding is my favorite method since XY glad you make new ways of doing it now 😊
This is wild, I thought what if we could add more dittos for breeding. And you manifested a video! I got a sprigatito shiny off your video! Solid help Austin!
Great video, I did notice that when I was using Everstone the other breeding partners in my team didn't have an effect on the eggs, so it's cool to see some hard confirmation around it. I usually do all my shiny breeding in handheld mode so I can use my screens for other things and I've found that setting the switch to auto-sleep after 3 minutes has been great to automatically track and maximize the egg power since the egg power pauses when the switch sleeps. It's about 5-9 eggs when I turn the screen back on and I usually get 60-70 eggs after 30 minutes this way with just one Masuda pair so I'm curious how a similar optimisation could be done with 3 pairs.
You make such amazing videos. You are our real life pokemon professor. Thank you professor Austin for teeaching us so much!!!

As always another fantastic, to the point informative video! In terms of clearing out boxes another alternative could be to use the Macro Mode on a Switch-Up device, manually removing an entire box, save the macro and then use it on boxes, you could also then afk the process to have a short break. I'm glad to see that you found a better work around for those who don't have that device (and in general) :D

I’m not sure but I think how well the pair get along still helps with egg numbers in picnics. I tried breeding my scyther with scatterbug and the eye eye one (snoodle? I forgot the name) and barely got any eggs in 15 mins but when I tried with the spider one scyther was obsessed with it and followed it around everywhere. I got a ton of eggs :) so now I have a scyther that’s in love with a walking ball of yarn, lol.😅
I have to message you I was watching this video and got distracted when you got your shiny fuecoco then look down while hatching fuecoco eggs and got a shiny one so that's really awesome and thank you!
Using this info, even if you are trying for a single Pokémon you could still put three in your party with three dittos and get more eggs just of that one Pokémon than you would with just one pair breeding. Good stuff to know
The genuine smile Austin gets when he gets a shiny, even after all this time, is infectious and makes me so happy for him.
Found out a few breeding things. If you have 2 Pokemon with destiny knots then they will be the only ones to breed, so if you have 2 dittos, both with destiny knots then they won't breed with the other Pokemon. Also, if a Pokemon has an ever stone (because you want to keep the reginal form) then it also will be the only one ditto breeds with

Using a Masuda ditto, I got scary lucky and got shiny Sprigatito and Fuecoco in less than 10 eggs each - in both cases, I got a shiny from my first picnic!!!

Thanks man this looks fun to do from time to time sure gone give it a try
Just wanted to say thank you for your help I was able to complete game with your guides and help
I know having a shiny foreign ditto doesn’t increase the odds but in my mind it makes me feel like it does
So true. Im 7 hours in masuda + shiny charm for a male ralts and its so annoying. Also after the 5 eggs hatch in your party just release the 5 pokemon before you start hatching another set. It doesn’t save time but it help your boxes from getting cluttered.

Honestly, I would recommend just using a sandwich power to hunt for Ralts. Unless you’re going for IVs and natures there’s no reason to go through the stress of masuda methoding for one. I actually was able to find two shiny Ralts in about three hours on the first area right before the first pokémon center, where you can find igglybuff and fidough. Keep in mind that Ralts only spawns during the daytime, so every half hour you wanna turn back the clock and try again. But it’s way easier imo.

Great video! For what it's worth on your trainer card where it says shinies battled, it seems based off one experience I had, that the counter only goes up if you send a shiny into a regular battle. I had received a traded shiny Diglett. I never threw it into a regular battle. I got it close to the required level to evolve with quick battle, then used a rare candy to level it up and start evolving it. Afterwards, I threw the Dugtrio up as leader and did a regular battle this is what increased the shiny counter on my card. I had been tracking each shiny I encountered manually (and comparing it to the shiny battle counter) and was keeping them in a separate box. At the time it never registered the Diglett as a shiny I battled. I Masuda'd out a Shiny Diglett and then did a normal battle and finally got the increase on the card for my Diglett. I have now seen 19 shinies and of those 19 shinies one was a Chansey I accidentally knocked out. I would recommend that anyone with shinies use candy, normal battles, or trainers to level up shinies to add the evolved forms to your counter. Also for tracking shinies (using the trainer card (shinies battled) counter is inefficient) check your pokedex and use the D-Pad UP/Down or LEFT-RIGHT to toggle between the alternate forms of Pokémon if you have seen the shiny you'll have the sparkle icon on the Pokémon summary and pokedex screens. Otherwise, if you don't see it you might have blundered like I did with the Diglett/Dugtrio. It should be obvious but each Pokémon only counts once, I have 2 Shiny Flittle and had 2 Shiny Deino. I doubt the trainer card will ever say you've battled more than 400 shinies (until they add dlc) and right now since Charizard and Cinderace don't exist in the Paldea Dex (The National Dex isn't there yet if ever?) you won't see them listed. I don't know if there's a reward in game for seeing all shiny variants, or even all foreign language variants, but I did find the fact that the pokedex lets you see that now to be pretty interesting.
generally i like to build up a ton of eggs (usually about 3 hours worth of eggs) and then just hatch them as i’m running around, hoping for a random full odds shiny or two
This is exactly what I've been thinking of doing for the last couple days (im currently shiny hunting for competitive starters). Was wondering on the ins and outs Thank you, good sir

@angelzuniga3713 When breeding I take these steps for every non-ditto parent for every breed. i used an ability patch for my starters hidden abilities so they can be bred down to nearly every egg, gave my starter an everstone to lock the nature for the eggs if beneficial, gave ditto destiny knot. Make or buy a level 2 egg power sandwich, then sit in picnic mode and breed 10-20 eggs. With the judge function I look for the best IV spread, that becomes the new parent to hold the everstone. Rinse and repeat until satisfied. Every 5 min or so I generally end up with 7-10 eggs

I can't remember if you covered this in the video but something I just found out while doing this method of multi breeding if you give multiple Pokemon items like the destiny knot, you don't get any eggs! I waited about 6 minutes with my foreign ditto, charizard and grafaiai (Both zard and graf were holding destiny knots) with an egg power lvl 2 active and didn't get a single egg! As soon as I removed the destiny knot from one of The Pokemon a re set up the picnic I received an egg in the first minute! Sorry if this has already been covered I just wanted mention it in case it hasn't been mentioned! Great video as always. :)
Amazing job man! A true Professor!
Your dedication is astounding. With the sole exception of Serebii, you have been my #1 source for information this generation. Thank you for continuing to make this game easier for us to navigate! Random but I hadn't realized until I watched this video that they eliminated the swap breeding loophole in SwSh, so it never occurred to me that I could save before collecting the eggs and then just reset my game if I didn't hatch a shiny. This is going to save me *so* much time. The lack of mass release has been an enormous timesuck with Masada Method in SV -.-
Try having the pokemon play with a ball while breeding or increase affection values. I average around 60-65 eggs per lvl. 2 egg power sandwich this way. Just want to add: absolutely love your videos, Austin. I'm a long time pokemon player, but new fan to your channel and your videos have helped immensely in navigating the amazing intricacies of these newer games.
Fantastic video with statistics, great approach! I personally simply play the game holding 5 eggs at a time (with a high level flame body as 6th) and I am walking around with a lottery waiting to happen. Given the fact we cannot hatch eggs any faster, i’m not overly too concerned about needing an increase in egg production. This will change if there is a way to further speed up hatching in addition to Flame Body.
@taylorguzman8120

Egg power sandwiches also increase hatching speed! So I use flame body mon and eat either a lvl 1 or 2 depending on amount of eggs I have (and I run around medali because at the fancy restaurant you can buy lvl2) and with just flame body mon I go around 2 or 3 times but with egg boost sandwich and flame body I go around the town maybe once to one and a half times and they’ll start hatching :)
I've been trying the triple Ditto -- all of them holding Destiny Knots -- with 3 male starters. Based on some quick testing (i.e. three 1-min intervals checking for eggs), I didn't receive a single egg from them. I think this would only work if all three had NO DESTINY KNOTS, but could also use more testing! Great vid tho! Super helpful for me breeding for Christmas giveaways :D

I’m having such good shiny egg luck. I’ve been doing masuda method one day a week, but I end up only playing for like 35 minutes! I hatched a shiny Galarian Meowth with egg #3 and WHILE I WAS WATCHING THIS VIDEO hatched shiny Sprigatito with egg #6 😂
I’m so glad that breeding is so easy in this game, I had found a shiny lachonk last night but afterwards I wanted to level my shiny palafin for battles long story short I forgot to change the nature and restarted the game and realized then I lost my lachonk and the items I got for raids. Always save before you decide to level your competitive Pokémon. Will have to get that shiny again later. 😢

sounds like it might be a little late but there is a button combonation you can do from the main menu to bring up a backup save menu. I have heard that this backup save the game keeps automatically does update even if you have auto saves turned off so it might have data you lost due to not saving.

Hopefully this gets seen and answered. Would having just one of the pokemon you are shiny hunting with several ditto increase the amount of eggs received?

So are the eggs predetermined from the moment they are taken from the picnic? If so, wouldn't it be cool to have a mod that shows what egg will have a shiny pokemon (like a super green egg with pink or some weird stuff)?

4:35 Hi Austin, I found that if you go to the Olive Challenge in the Bug Gym: Get inside with the Flame Body Pokémon and 5 eggs, put a rubber band from the left joy-con to right joy-con and it will auto Hatch your eggs.
Just thought I should share that while Austin was showing his box of shinies I found a full ods's shiny sableye :)
Does obtaining a egg that would hatch a shiny increase your shiny count on your trainer card? If so, you could check your trainer card after obtaining a few boxes of eggs to see if you need to hatch them.

Thanks for doing the test Austin! Now I need two more foreign dittos to increase my egg numbers. I typically do a 30-60 minute run, often when I'm watching tv to avoid going insane. Edit: I've just now done a 3 ditto with 3 male starters. In 25 minutes I ended up with 54 eggs, so that's 2.16 eggs per minute. It is to be noted I was walking away while getting ready for a Christmas family party. At times I hit the cap on eggs, so in theory my numbers should have been slightly higher.
