What happens if you breed a shiny Pokemon with a shiny Ditto?
Breeding a shiny Pokémon with a shiny Ditto gives you a 1 in 64 chance that the offspring will be shiny, compared to a 1 in 8192 chance of encountering a shiny Pokémon in the wild. This is because the shiny trait is determined by the Individual Values (IVs) of the Pokémon, and breeding with a shiny Ditto increases the chances of passing on the shiny trait to the offspring.
