From Generation IV onwards, trading with games from other countries became easier due to the Nintendo DS's ability to communicate through Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

Fortunately, starting with Diamond and Pearl, there is a special feature known by fans as the Masuda method (MM for short), named after GAME FREAK Director Junichi Masuda, that increases the chances of getting a Shiny Pokémon from an egg if both of its parents are from different languages.
Even without it, the odds are still pretty good. Similar to how, if you flip a coin, you’re not guaranteed to get a heads if you flip it twice, even though it’s a 1/2 chance. The method is named after Game Freak director Junichi Masuda, who programmed it into Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Unfortunately this is not an option for Gold, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, FireRed, or LeafGreen. By breeding two compatible Pokémon in the Pokémon Daycare or Pokémon Nursery, you can get eggs of the female Pokémon’s species — or the male’s species if you breed it with a Ditto. The Masuda method increases the number of attempts the game makes to see if the Pokémon is Shiny, and the amount it increases it by varies by game. Please read the. Der Grund dafür ist, dass das Spiel hierfür nicht extra einen Wert zufällig generiert, der das Pokémon ggf. Even with Flame Body or Magma Armor, the odds are against you; it’s still a 1 in 4096 (or 1 in 8192 in older games) chance of getting a Shiny to hatch from the egg, which is not good.
Shiny hunting works the same way (although this would be more like rolling a 512-sided die). In Generation IV, if the Masuda method is in effect, the Everstone will fail to increase the chance of passing on a Nature. The problem is it takes awhile. The Masuda method involves breeding two Pokémon created in games of different languages. From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. If both Pokémon 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. You have to wait for the two Pokémon to produce the egg in the first place and then you have to ride your bike back and forth for a few minutes for the egg to hatch. He documented the method in his blog,[1] where he mentioned a way that a "rare colored Pokémon's Egg can be found little easier." It occurs whenever Pokémon of differing languages are bred. If the game recognizes the two Pokémon in the daycare as having different languages, then when an Egg is generated, the game will generate extra personality values in an attempt to find one that results in a Shiny Pokémon.
