What happens if I change the parents in the day care while masuda method is in effect?
Aug. 16, 2018Okay, so at one point I was shiny hunting rotom in Pokemon USUM but gave up because it was taking way too long. I decided to hunt froakie but I was wondering something. Will the shiny be on the same egg as if I was still hunting shiny rotom or will putting in different parents make it roll again to see which egg will be shiny for froakie?

Any eggs that you receive while you have at least one foreign parent in the day-care will have better shiny odds, even if you remove the foreign parent before the egg hatches. The same works vice-versa, where any egg received while you have a non-Masuda pair will not have increased odds, even if you put in a foreign parent before the egg hatches.If you’re talking about egg-swapping, moving from a Masuda pair to a non-Masuda pair will negatively interfere with your chances. But if they’re both Masuda (or both non-Masuda), then you’ll get a shiny on the same egg if you switch out the parents.
