I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD AND NOW I CAN DIE IN PEACE

LET ME JUST GUSH FOR A FEW YEARS HERE.

THE CHANCES OF OBTAINING A SHINY POKEMON IN POKEMON X AND POKEMON Y VERSIONS ARE 1/4096

ONE IN FOUR THOUSAND NINETY SIX

WITH THE MASUDA METHOD THE CHANCES ARE REDUCED TO 1/1024

ONE IN ONE THOUSAND TWENTY FOUR

(For those of you who do not know what the Masuda Method is:
The Masuda Method is a breeding method introduced in generation IV where if two pokemon from different game origins breed their child has an increased chance of being shiny. The exact chances vary from generation to generation, become more common in newer generations.
This is probably the best method for getting a specific pokemon in shiny hunting as pokeradar or chain fishing do not let you choose what pokemon you want to get as much.)
