EVALUATE MY BATTLING!

Trainer Tip: play nice and keep it civil.


things to keep in mind:
→ This is encouraged, not mandatory. We will not penalize you for not using it.
→ Feel free to link your personal HMDs if you would like, just in case someone doesn't want to use the mass HMD post.
→ this is more for actual critique and discussion. Please don't just blindly praise a person or just call them horrible. If someone's doing a wonderful job, you can tell them, just tell them why, or even where they're showing off bonus perks. If someone's doing a not-so-wonderful job, tell them why, give them things to improve on if you can. Examples, links, things that can give them something to work on. Meaning, no bashing, flaming, or nasty behavior. Please keep it civil.
→ Anonymous is turned on! But note: anonymous is a privilege, not a right. If it's being abused to bash players, please be sure to let one of us know and we'll step in or freeze threads if necessary. If anonymous is abused too much, it will be turned off for the next HMD.
→ Don't take this all too personally! Remember that roleplay is a game, and crit is supposed to help, not make you feel horribly. No one is perfect, we've all got room to improve. Please keep that in mind.

The Eevee's shiny parent was Chrys, the shiny leafeon. All the other potential shinies were from Eri, the shiny Wooper. Woops can breed with a lot of things, it's crazy hahahhah

[(Anonymous)]

how many eggs did you breed off of the same shiny wooper total?

[shadowdive]

Thirteen total it looks like. Did I do something wrong, anon?

[(Anonymous)]

Person who asked the original question, but not the one you just replied to.

The reason I asked was because the number of shinies on that post is extremely suspicious. It does not look legitimate given the probabilities involved. At the most generous, it appears like you had a 0.00022% chance of getting seven or more shinies given how many eggs had a shiny parent. Those aren't exactly good odds.

[healium]

Is there some way to calculate it? I just figured one shiny at least per group would be fine. I'll keep in mind to not have so many next time.

[(Anonymous)]

If you want to actually calculate it, hit up www.random.org and generate a number between 1 and 50 for each egg. If you get a 1, it's shiny, if you get 2-50, it isn't.

You can't really just assume "one per group" unless your groups are size 50+, since that's how a 1 in 50 chance works.

Alright, cool, I didn't know that's what was supposed to be used. Thanks for letting me know, anon!

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks for being cool about it! I'd bet you're not the only one who hasn't actually been randomly generating your shiny chances, and if you don't know about random.org it can seem tricky to calculate it yourself. Your post just happened to catch my eye because of how excessive it seemed.

don't mind my journal hopping all over sob

No problem, nothing to sweat over. Yeah, so mentioning it might help other people not make the same mistake, so it's all good :)

Hahahaha I was trying to make it impressive for the breeders con
