Method for shinies in black 2?

Feb. 7, 2013

My friend has told me about the masuda method which is a way to get shiny Pokemon eggs, and I really want to know how to do it. Im on a big shiny Magby hunt in Black 2 and I want to know how to get the shiny Pokemon eggs.

Masuda Method: it essentially involves you trading with a player that has a different language game than yours (e.g. French or Japanese), and breeding the foreign Pokemon with one of your own.

Commonly, people will trade for a foreign language Ditto, since you can breed a Ditto with almost anything bar legendaries. You can offer up a Ditto from your game as a trade for a different language Ditto and hope that someone with a different language game will see what you’re doing (since they will benefit from the Ditto if their game is non-English).

Your usual shiny rate is 1/8192, while with the Masuda Method in Gen V, your shiny hatching rate will be increased to 1/1366.
