Shiny Values (Pokemon XY)
For those of you who don't know what this is about, an explanation here.
Long story short, each trainer has a "Shiny Value", a 4 digit number that goes somewhere upwards of 4000-ish. Each Pokemon ALSO has a Shiny Value. If your trainer shiny value is the same as an egg or wild Pokemon's shiny value, that Pokemon will be a shiny. There is an entire community on reddit dedicated to hatching eggs for each other/giving away eggs (usually with good IVs) to trainers who have matching SV numbers to their eggs. Basically, the program on the smogon link above will scan any Pokemon or eggs you have when you "show" them in a trade and will tell you all of their IVs, moves, and their Shiny Value. If you have a whole bunch of eggs to check, you can copy all of them (what Pokemon/Gender/IVs/Ability/Nature/Shiny Value) to a clipboard and then share the list with others to see if their Shiny Value matches any of the eggs you have. If you then give them that egg, it will hatch as a shiny. That being said, I was hoping we could start a thing around here where we can share our Shiny Values and help each other out if need be. I'm willing to hatch eggs for anyone who has a Pokemon with my Shiny Value and then trade it back to them, and I hope anyone interested would offer to do the same. My shiny value is 3829. If you guys are interested, maybe we can share SVs and help each other out. Just an idea. Anyway yeah. Check it out if your interested. It's almost a bit sad how easy it is to get shinies with this method haha. |

All that stuff is lost on me, but if anyone wants to check mine, let me know what you need (egg or capture).

The software seems to have installed properly... I just need someone to trade with, which I won't have until this evening. I'd love to be a part of this~ I'm actually trying to hatch a shiny Gastly right now.

I'd be willing to do a trade with you tonight for you to record all of the info you need, I'm just not sure what time I will be able to because I have somewhere to be for a few hours between 6 and 10 or so. Just give me a heads up at some point if no one else does. Also, Gastly is a very commonly given away Pokemon on the SVExchange subreddit, so you can always check if your SV matches any there, too!

Will this work on UPN? There's around 20 members in our X and Y community so what does that make the odds of getting a shiny? About 1 in 200? Those are good odds but I'd like it to be lower to improve the chances of a flawless mon and reduce the amount of eggs I'd have to fill my boxes with.
If anyone needs to breed for a genderless pokemon I have a Ditto with perfect IVs in everything but attack and special attack but I only trust loaning it to a UPN veteran

Balmund was able to help me out. The software works great! Hopefully, once my laptop is fixed, I can download it there as well and offer to check SVs for others, too.

I've got the software, but Instacheck itself doesn't seem to want to scan for my game. So if someone could be kind and help me find out mine, I'd be really grateful because... hey, Wynaut?
edit: Thanks, Marion! So guys, my Shiny Value is 2773. Hook me up if you want something that sparkles~

Lol, great timing with the thread Deo :P Is the update forced? I still haven't even updated the Lumiouse Save Patch.

I know right? Yeah, it's a forced update. Looks like there is another method in the works that uses Spinda to check PSVs somehow. I don't know. I'm just kinda like... wow. The day I make the thread, the day Nintendo puts the kabash on this whole thing. Mannn....

I know, right? The day I finally crack and learn my own TSV is the day it has become all but redundant D:

This is a bit mean spirited but I actually just remembered some guy on Smogon acting all smug because he'd bought an extra 3DS to check his eggs easily. I actually laughed out loud.
In all seriousness though it did us a lot more good by stopping that group of people who were analysing battles. Regular updates also makes me think the chances of some episodic content more likely in between X & Y and Z

Yeah I was big into the whole Instacheck thing about a week ago and still have four boxes full of potential shiny hatches. Shame that they patched it for trading but it's better that the Battle Analyzer got shut down (that shit is unquestionably cheating).
