Someone get this message to gyohdon, I don't care how, but his box is full.
It's in regards to my shiny heliolisk that I am raising in pokemon Y.
Yeah my shiny heliolisk is the daughter of the one I beat the elite four with. nick named her "Prodigy". I was going to go with "The prodigal son" but it hatched as a female, so Prodigy is just fine.
I've figured out something that lots of people on youtube and the internet in general haven't. When I was watching their shiny hatching videos I noticed that they would immediately go check their nature and be disappointed.
I mean really you've got a 1/20 chance of getting the one competitively viable nature for most pokemon, but why? Why would they gamble on their shinies?
Protip bro, I'm serious, protip.
I gave an everstone to my original heliolisk and every egg that came from it had the exact same nature it had, man. Like seriously.
So if you're going to shiny hatch it makes the most sense to save yourself some hurt and create a prototype of the shiny you want, with the right nature and egg moves and then give the prototype a fucking everstone and your shiny will have not only the egg moves but the right nature.
I don't know if the mass majority of pokemon players have seriously just overlooked this method, or if I'm just too damn clever.
Google the RNG method.
I've been using that system for years in order to manufacture perfect pokemon (shiny, perfect IVs, gender, ability, nature, moveset + EV training)
