Yes, the solution is to match the Trainer ID and name. If the name doesn't match the submitter, then they didn't hatch it.

Yes, but they could have hatched a shiny that someone gave them or use someone else's shinies and just taken a picture of it.

Does anyone have Instacheck set up? I want to check my ID but I'm on Mac and there's no Mac version.

 

[Blu Rose]

Yeah I could like shiny Manectric (my brother has one).

Well, the problem with that is that the Trainer ID of an egg is always the hatcher, whether the egg was traded or not.

I like bluuuuuuuuueeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways, is there any rule against coloured text? Just wondering... I don't remember reading about it...

Edit: Whoops, didn't see page 53 at all there...

I don't think there is a rule. I have never heard of one anyway. Colored text makes everything more fun!

I'll have a 31/31/31/31/31/1 shiny male eevee very soon. Found somebody who matches his egg's sv and he said he'd hatch the egg for me tonight ^_^ Will post a picture of him once I have him. Dunno which eon to make him yet though.

I'd cry if I got a 5IV with 1 speed ;-;. I'd go for vaporeon or umbreon, since its never going to be fast.

 

[Dr J]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Hopefully my new female can produce better results for me. As my male glaceon has 31/31/x/31/31/31, and the female eevee I'm currently breeding him with has x/x/31/31/x/x. So I'm more, or less, currently breeding for a better female for him to make better offspring with.

update: my male with 31/31/31/31/31/1 is in the process of being hatched as a shiny now! Soon, he shall be Shade the Shiny Umbreon. And he will be forever loved by all.

UPDATE2:

Spoiler

Meet Shade, my new perfect IV shiny eevee! Soon to be a Shiny Umbreon[wish I had the right berries to speed up getting him happy enough with me for evolution]

Btw, if you go to Anistar City, there will be a girl who says the memories of Pok?mon. If they say they saw the current owner when they first hatched, it's legitimate and is hatched by them. If not, then it's wasn't hatched by them. Also, if it brings up anything about trading, they didn't hatch the shiny.

For example, let's say that I have a shiny Pumpkaboo. The Memory Girl says:
"Pumpkaboo hatched from an egg and saw Steve for the the first time at... a large city. The Pok?mon remembers that it got overwhelmed with emotion."

Now, let's take my German Abra:
"Abra met _____ at... a safari. _____ threw a Pok? Ball at it, and they started to travel together... [blah blah blah, irrelevant stuff]
...Abra became Steve's friend when it arrived via Link Trade at..."

Link Trade is key here. It means that it's wasn't originally their's, therefore, it's isn't a shiny that they hatched.

Or so you think... Hmhmhmhmhmhm... Hahahahahaha! Muahahahahahahahahahahaha! (Also, I apologize in advance for being a tad bit inappropriate, you are forcing your Pok?mon to breed with its children?! Don't worry, I do that too...)

@FireNinja1 So, what you're saying is is that you should provide a screenshot of what the memory girl says in order to prove that the hatched Pok?mon is your's? Or, rather, that this is a theory and may not work on eggs?

I'd still accept it as their shiny if they did the work breeding for it, but found somebody with a matching TSV to hatch it for them[like I just did with Shade]

TSV - Trainer Shiny Value

So... Is Shade your's for the keeping? Or, rather, did it work?

 

[Dr J]

Spoiler

It sure did, and he's mine for the keeping with his awesome IVs. He'll be an awesome umbreon soon. (sorry for the poor quality, my cell's camera sucks)

 

[violetneko]

How do you determine TSV, and how did you find Shade's match?

 

[Dr J]

you use InstaCheck Hotspot to check TSV's and egg SVs. And I found his match over on reddit.

edit: I've also hatched two shinies for people so far. Shiny Flechling, and a shiny Larvesta(got a 31/x/31/31/31/31/31 larvesta back for helping to hatch the larvesta =D)

 

[violetneko]

InstaCheck isn't working for me... I can't connect the 3DS to it, and I can't find the program to run as per the instructions.
If I do get it going, can you help me to check an Eevee egg?

 

[Dr J]

you should be able to check your eggs without help if you get it working(I could be wrong, and if I am; I'll help)

 

[violetneko]

Finally got it connected. Edit: Pokemon is taking forever to connect to internet; kinda has me worried...

 

[Dr J]

Nice, I can't get it to even start for me. Just keeps saying the program failed to run.

 

[violetneko]

Jinjiro, can I do the trade thing to check? It just says I have to show it, and scan the thingy, and it'll tell me everything.

 

[Dr J]

Sure, I'll add your FC now

edit: wait.. already added you.

Mind checking the SV of my egg for me? Couldn't hurt to know what it's SV is afterall[as I am trying to hatch another shiny eevee for a friend now, though I need a good stat roll on it lol]
