Shiny Breeding

[lFrankiel]

Hellou, there is any shiny breed guide out there? i want to start breeding some low tier shinies but i have no idea about how it works.

Pretty much the same as normal breeding, but you can only use two shiny pokemon.

Yeah i know but i've heard that  iv's passing mechanic works a little bit different than normal breeding, thats why im asking

It's not. 

 

Shinies pass IVs a bit better than normal pokes. they pass 4 IVs. 2 are completely random, while two are less random. 2 are always the higher of the two stats for the randomly chosen IV. 

 

Note that the 2 highest IVs among the two pokemon dont always pass.

 

It's like say you have a 0/0/0/31/31/31 and a 31/31/31/0/0/0. 2 of the stats will get picked at random, we'll say attack and defense, they'll be 31 passed from one parent. 2 more randomly chosen stats pass, say speed and hp, they can pass either 31 or 0. the remaining two stats average at 15. 

 

I think, i could be wrong here, that braces take over the random passes. so if you brace two IVs, those pass. then 2 random high ones. then 2 averages.

Thx riga! Ill be working on it soon! Seems like a expensive process but ill give a try

I can confirm the latter part

So basically when you breed shinies , you dont get lower ivs? The worse iv you can get is an average one?

Well you can get lower if your main shiny had 31 and you breed it with a shiny with the same stat but 0, it would lower/average to 15

And in that situation, there's no way you can get 0 like in normal breeding?

[JoshLindsay10]

No

if you don't use braces you could get a 0.
