Are the shininess chances increased in Masuda Method if both Pokemon are foreign?

Jun. 6, 2012

While using the Masuda Method, if both parent Pokemon are foreign, are the shininess chances increased any more than they would usually be?

Nope

If breeding two japanese pokemon, it would be the same as breeding two english pokemon

but ifyou breed an english pokemon and japanese pokemonthenthe chances are increased

Hope I helped!

The Masuda Method applies when two Pokemon are fromdifferent languagegames. For example, if one Pokemon is from an American (English) game, and the other from a Japanese game, then it would apply.

It doesn’t matter if one of the languages is your own or not. So a German Pokemon and a Japanese Pokemon would still activate Masuda because they are from different language games. However, two Japanese Pokemon breeding on an American game wouldnotactivate the Masude Method.
