:You need new eggs. A Pokemon being shiny is determined by its personality value, and this personality value is set as soon as you receive an egg from the day care man. Thus, as soon as you receive an egg from the day care man, the game determines whether it is shiny or not. Alternatively, you can save right before receiving an egg from the day care man, and then receive the egg, and hatch it. If it's not shiny, you can reset the game, load your profile again, and receive the egg again, and this egg will have a different personality value, and thus, another chance of being shiny. --[[User:NOBODY|NOBODY]] ([[User talk:NOBODY|talk]]) 01:51, 24 November 2013 (UTC) | :You need new eggs.

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?
