About the only thing i would have touched on differently have been the nature breeding with an everstone, that way you don't have to worry about mints. And then it'll just be IVs that you need concern yourself with. And if you happen to have a perfect ditto, slap a destiny knot on it, transfer them IVs. Really wouldn't have been much more than an added minute to the video. :)

I'll breed from the route 5 daycare and I noticed my average distance for another egg is between the girl on the bottom side of the bridge and to the guy on the opposite side a little further down. I usually go the distance to the guy then go back. But 9/10 that's the right distance to travel(with all met requirements for breeding). If not then I do like 2-3 quick circles. Hope it helps so people arent riding the entire distance for 1 egg at a time. Again you have to have the required items for faster egg spawning too.

Extra tip about wild pokemon: whichever pokemon has your step-cutting ability, for me it's Talomflame, have it hold a smoke ball so it can escape any encounter with a wild pokemon. Good for the bridge daycare due to the Wobbufets (shadows tag, which prevents you from escaping).

Realize I'm late on commenting on this video, but, recently got back into pokemon and my friend is actually into this whole method for shiny hunting. I got super lucky and actually got a Japanese Ditto on my very first surprise trade and she was so excited. I had no clue how big a deal it was so I looked it up and this video has really let me know why she was so excited. Thanks for all the good information PokeTips.

[@gyarados232]

I got a Japenese Ditto in like 2 weeks from when I got Nintendo switch online

[@zeodzzz]

Info: Easiest way for me to get foreign ditto. All I did was catch one in my game, and then just spam link trade offering my ditto for a trade. 4 people traded a ditto for mine but they ended up being from the same country. The 10th person I connected with traded me a ditto and it was German. Most people know what you want to do when you offer a ditto and will offer one to trade back, if they dont then just cancel and start a new one. Its super fast and only took me 5 minutes.

Being a Pokebreeder and breeding since black and white I like to say that patience is the key to this, if you can I recommend watching something like a show or a movie while doing your shiny breeding. Having hatched probably between 15-20k eggs you can do yourself a lot of good taking frequent breaks or passing the time by keeping your mind busy. As always and recommended having the shiny charm helps!

Some more tips from me: 1. Use the GTS in Pokemon Home’s mobile version to obtain a Ditto. Usually there are at least a few people willing to trade their Ditto for yours. I got my own French Ditto with that method. Tip 2: Just in case you run into a wild Pokemon, have your Steam Engine/Flame Body/Magma Armor Pokemon hold a Smoke Ball to easily be able to run away. You can easily find one in the Slumbering Weald.

I've been shiny hunting. Thanks so much, I didn't know why it wasn't working

[@mbsgdavis]

Yes today I did this messed up method And it really really works

[@Bellyofthebeast6]

I've always heard about the Masuda method but never looked into it because I didn't care about shinies until very recently when I finally got my first one in the wild. I feel like this video is a sign I should try it. Also I'm glad you made a video about it because you always explain things so well!

Cool and ouch. But I think in sword and shield you dont get better odds for shiny if the breeding pokemons are shiny.

another easy way to get a foreign ditto is from Pokémon Home, you can request certain Pokémon in trades, and you can even specify why country you’d want your Pokémon from :)

[@patrickmacpherson2883]

This helped me get a shiny Phantump, finally!

[@dannyyy2173]

do you have foreign ditto you might be able to trade?

[@BoredMurphy]

If you have 2 switches and 2 copies of the game/a friend: On one copy, start a new save in any language that isn't the language of your main save. Start up a ditto raid on your main save. Make the other save join you, catch the raid ditto and trade! You now have a foreign ditto.

I have been through 600+ eggs to get a shiny Krabby and still haven't. The only reason I'm still playing is because I'm getting Scarlet or Violet for Christmas

[@kcfire25]

I also recommend you do not try to get a shiny Krabby from breeding.

[@domonicpoores1267]

I already do all of this. Route 5 is better because you have to release them for more room in the poke center. You can always go the town and spin in circles where that hill with the drawing is.

[@ignorethisoldidiotaccount3669]

EASILY THE BEST METHOD. Today, I got a shiny Zigzagoon at 22 eggs. DEFINITELY the easiest/fastest way to shiny hunt in Sword and Shield! (This was without either of the charms, though)

[@ondinee6799]

LoraliliThePoke&DragonFan although I have played Pokemon games in the past , pokemon shield is the first time I've ever hunted shiny pokemon, and I haven't gotten one yet. Right now I am trying to hatch a shiny lapras ( one of my favorite pokemon) and I'm currently on 700+ eggs. I guess that when I hatch one it'll be my shortest hunt and first shiny ever in my whole life. I was hunting a shiny gyarados when I found out how pretty they are but when I saw the shiny lapras color I put gyarados on hold 😁. When I found out about shiny pokemon (found out about them through a sword and shield play through) I was reaaaalllly surprised! I've always been a huge Pokemon fan but embarrassingly enough I only recently found out shiny pokemon existed. They are beautiful! 🥺

[@ondinee6799]

LoraliliThePoke&DragonFan I don't have the shiny charm yet but someone told I'd get better chances with the charm so I'm going to work on that when I get home . I know that 700+ honestly isn't a lot . Idk why I was complaining in that comment 😂 I'm probably going to go to the thousands

you can also go on pokemon home and look for a foreign ditto via the GTS, and most people aren’t looking for crazy rare pokemon in return. i find that as the fastest and most guaranteed way to get one, since you can see where it’s from before you trade for it
