Breeding a shiny Pokemon, in fact, does not increase the chance of the offspring becoming a shiny. It is treated a normal Pokemon and the rate stays the same. However, you can increase the chances of the offspring to become a shiny by performing the Masuda Method and/or obtaining the Shiny Charm. The latter is much more difficult, so let's explain the Masuda Method.

The Masuda Method is where two Pokemon with two different languages and are in the Daycare together to breed. Egg Group compatibility does apply to this method as well, so make sure their Egg Groups are the same. (Even using a Ditto that is a different language such as, Japanese, Spanish, etc. can also increase the chances of the offspring being a shiny.) Even though it's impossible to do this without trading or generating a Pokemon using a program, it lowers the number from 1/8192 to 1/1365, which can be worth trading for.

Now the Shiny Charm is a lot harder to obtain and can take quite a bit of time to get. The Shiny Charm is rewarded when you complete the National Dex, excluding the event Pokemon like Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Manaphy, Shaymin, Darkrai, Arceus, and so on. The Shiny Charm automatically increases the shiny rate without having to activate anything. This applies for breeding, fishing, and going through the tall grass or in the caves.

With the Masuda Method and the Shiny Charm combined for Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, your estimated chance is 1/512, which is increased dramatically.

The things to look out for are:

  • Make sure your two Pokemon are in different languages, if you are performing the Masuda Method. You can tell by the tag on the top screen at the left upper corner. For example, Japanese will appear as JAP, Italian will appear as ITA, etc.
  • It's really necessary to check their Egg Groups on your favorite Pokemon resource website to make sure they match. If they do not, they will not breed and "rather play with other Pokemon" as the Daycare Man will tell you.
