The Masuda method (Japanese: 国際結婚 international marriage), also known as Masuda’s method, is a fan-made term which describes a way to obtain Shiny Pokémon more easily from Generation IV onwards. While the standard encounter rate for a Shiny Pokémon (either in the wild or by breeding) is 1/8192, the Masuda method multiplies this rate by 5 (to 5/8192 or about 1/1638) in Generation IV and by 6 (to 3/4096 or about 1/1365) in Generation V. It occurs whenever Pokémon of differing real-world geographical origin are bred.

…As of gen 6.The Ditto being shiny does not affect the shiny rate, only it’s nationality does.

in previous generations:

Gen 4 -1/1638Gen 5 -1/1365
