I'm interested in knowing how exactly the Masuda Method increases the chance of a shiny pokemon. I'm aware that Shininess is determined by the pokemon's Personality Values and the trainer's IDs when it hatches, so if the PVs are randomly generated, how does having a parent from a foreign generation increase the odds so drastically?
