Ultimate Ditto Breeding Bundle

Ultimate Ditto Breeding Bundle

The Ultimate Ditto Breeding Bundle is a bundle that includes all 25 Natures of Ditto 6IVs, Shiny, Holding Destiny Knot and JAPANESE.

The?Masuda method, also known as?Masuda’s method, is a fan-made term for the increased chance of?Shiny Pok?mon?being produced when?breeding?Pok?mon?with different languages of origin.

While the standard encounter rate for a Shiny Pok?mon (either in the?wild?or by?breeding) is 1/8192 from?Generation II?to?Generation V?and 1/4096 in?Generation VI?onwards, the Masuda method multiplies this rate by 5 (to 5/8192 or about 1/1638) in Generation IV, by 6 (to 6/8192 or about 1/1365) in Generation V, and by 6 (to 6/4096, or 1/683) from Generation VI onwards.

The method is named after?Game Freak?director?Junichi Masuda, who described the method in his blog in December 2007. The blog post lists various ways that Game Freak decided to incentivize using the?GTS?in?Pok?mon Diamond and Pearl, describing this bonus as “rare colored Pokemon?s Egg can be found little easier”.

The Masuda method involves breeding two Pok?mon created in games of different languages. An Egg resulting from such a pairing will have a higher likelihood of being Shiny. The most common way to arrange such a pairing is to use one foreign Pok?mon and one from the game in which the breeding occurs, although the method will work in any game or combination of languages provided at least one of the Pok?mon in the pair is from a language different to the language of the other parent. The language of the save file does not apply whether Masuda Method takes effect, only the languages of the two parents are taken into account, so if both Pok?mon are foreign to the language the game is being played in but are both of the same language, then the Masuda method will not take effect.

Despite being obtainable in one’s native language savefile, foreign language Pok?mon obtained via?in-game trades, such as the?Meister‘s?Foppa?and?Lt. Surge‘s?Volty, are treated as being outside the game^[2][3], so if bred with a parent caught in the same save file,^[4]?the Masuda method will take effect.

In Generation IV only, if the Masuda method applies, the?Everstone?will fail to increase the chance of passing on a Nature. This is due to Nature and Shininess both being determined by the Pok?mon’s?personality value?in Generation IV, so manipulating one would interfere with the other. From Generation V onward, Nature is not determined by personality value, so this restriction is removed. A Pok?mon traded internationally while still in its Egg will retain the internal marking which recognizes it as a foreign Pok?mon even though it would have the hatcher?s OT.

Some examples are illustrated below; Pok?mon bred in circumstances which invoke the Masuda method and have an increased chance of being Shiny are denoted by their Shiny sprite.
