athelstan Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I searched at the forums but didn't find an answer to my question, so that's why i start this new topic. If i've read correctly, the rate of encountering a shiny by breeding two non-shinies is the same as the encounter-rate in wild. So my question is, if i want to increase that rate a little by buying donator status. Should i use the donator status when i receive the egg or should i use it when the egg hatches? (So is the shiny-ness determined when i receive the egg from the old man, or is it determined when the egg hatches?) Link to comment

Also donator status tickets works for 7, 15 or 30 days after using them. They rise your shiny chance for whole period of that time. Edited April 24, 2017 by WestTurtle Link to comment

I know the donator status ticket works for a long period but i could collect 1000 eggs and then buy donator status and then start breeding them :-) Link to comment
Gilan Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Shininess (and all other traits) are determined when you receive the egg. There was a bug before where the shiny star would appear while the pokemon was still an egg, but that was patched. So you should use the ticket before receiving the egg.
