I have a Masuda method question?

Question

Just a quick question,
If you can breed a JPN ditto with another Pokemon to have a better chance of getting a shiny.
Could you breed a normal ditto with a JPN Pokemon? and still have the same chance?

Answer 1

That would work

The masuda method increases the chance a Pokemon is shiny when breeding with 2 Pokemon from different countries

Which means if you use a JPN Pokemon and a normal ditto, you should still have that increased shiny chance.

Edit

The Masuda method involves breeding two Pokémon created in games of different countries.

Hope I helped

Answer 2

Yep, you would.

People just like using Ditto because it can breed with any Pokemon, so you'd have an increased chance of getting any shiny Pokemon. But yes, a normal Ditto and a JPN Pokemon can breed together and the Masuda Method will be in place.

Hope I helped. :)
