This community is dedicated to hatching shiny Pokémon using a technique known as Shiny Value Hatching!

Each Pokémon egg has a hidden 4-digit number associated with it, as does each trainer (you, in game). If the number for the egg matches that of the trainer hatching it, the resulting Pokémon will be shiny!

We're here to match those numbers and hatch shinies!

This mechanic works in Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. It does not work in Sword/Shield.

Welcome to /r/SVExchange!

Each Pokémon egg has a hidden four digit number associated with it, as does each trainer. If the number for the egg matches that of the trainer hatching it, the resulting Pokémon will be shiny!

This subreddit is here so people can match those numbers and hatch shinies. If you're interested, proceed to the Quick Start guide to learn more!

Weekly SV Checking and Discussion Thread for 30 September 2024

##Welcome to the Weekly SV Checking and Discussion Thread!

This thread is a place to offer or request Egg Shiny Value (ESV) or Trainer Shiny Value (TSV) checks. Please keep in mind that requesting and/or volunteering to check SIDs is not allowed on this subreddit.

  • Wiki - Our knowledge base. If this is your first visit, start on our Quick Start page instead, then go to the full Wiki!
  • Checking methods - Several methods that describe how to check egg and trainer values!
  • Discord - Visit our Discord to chat with other members of the community. You can also use our Discord to request or offer ESV/TSV checks in #sv-checks by mentioning @Egg Checker in your request for help.

###Quick reference for users having their Eggs or Pokémon checked:

When another user offers to check eggs for you, they will most likely tell you which method they will be using. Below is a list of the most common methods, and brief instructions on what to do for each one.

  • TEA method: The checker will initiate a trade with you in-game. Show the Pokémon (or Eggs) you would like checked on the screen. Do not offer or trade the Pokémon (in Gen 7) — they only need to be visible on the trade screen. If you are having multiple Pokémon/Eggs checked, show each one for a couple seconds, and then quickly move on to the others. The checker may use nicknamed Pokémon as signs to let you know when they are ready for you to begin/stop showing Pokémon.
  • GTS method (For TSV Checks only): The checker will ask you to deposit something over the GTS, and give specific details of what you should request. The checker will search for your deposited Pokémon and trade for it. After confirming you are the Original Trainer (OT) of the Pokémon they recieved (by matching it with your OT/ID from your game), they will provide you with your TSV!
  • Please note: You will usually not receive the Pokémon you deposited back from the checker when using this method!
  • Battle video (BV) method: The checker will challenge you to a battle in-game. Bring the Pokémon you want checked, and be sure to enter them into the actual battle. Forfeit the battle immediately.
  • If the Pokémon being checked are eggs, disable autosave (important), and then hatch them. Reset your game after the battle.
  • Trade method: Trade your Pokémon/Eggs to the checker. They will read their information and then trade them back to you.

Weekly SV Checking and Discussion Thread for 01 July 2024

##Welcome to the Weekly SV Checking and Discussion Thread!

This thread is a place to offer or request Egg Shiny Value (ESV) or Trainer Shiny Value (TSV) checks. Please keep in mind that requesting and/or volunteering to check SIDs is not allowed on this subreddit.

  • Wiki - Our knowledge base. If this is your first visit, start on our Quick Start page instead, then go to the full Wiki!
  • Checking methods - Several methods that describe how to check egg and trainer values!
  • Discord - Visit our Discord to chat with other members of the community. You can also use our Discord to request or offer ESV/TSV checks in #sv-checks by mentioning @Egg Checker in your request for help.

###Quick reference for users having their Eggs or Pokémon checked:

When another user offers to check eggs for you, they will most likely tell you which method they will be using. Below is a list of the most common methods, and brief instructions on what to do for each one.

  • TEA method: The checker will initiate a trade with you in-game. Show the Pokémon (or Eggs) you would like checked on the screen. Do not offer or trade the Pokémon (in Gen 7) — they only need to be visible on the trade screen. If you are having multiple Pokémon/Eggs checked, show each one for a couple seconds, and then quickly move on to the others. The checker may use nicknamed Pokémon as signs to let you know when they are ready for you to begin/stop showing Pokémon.
  • GTS method (For TSV Checks only): The checker will ask you to deposit something over the GTS, and give specific details of what you should request. The checker will search for your deposited Pokémon and trade for it. After confirming you are the Original Trainer (OT) of the Pokémon they recieved (by matching it with your OT/ID from your game), they will provide you with your TSV!
  • Please note: You will usually not receive the Pokémon you deposited back from the checker when using this method!
  • Battle video (BV) method: The checker will challenge you to a battle in-game. Bring the Pokémon you want checked, and be sure to enter them into the actual battle. Forfeit the battle immediately.
  • If the Pokémon being checked are eggs, disable autosave (important), and then hatch them. Reset your game after the battle.

Thanks For Everything!

Hello /r/SVExchange,

Today is a sad day, as SV hatching is done with the shutdown of the 3DS/WiiU servers.

This community has been influential in people, like me, who have had their start here rather than our sister subreddit r/pokemontrades.

We want to give thanks to all of you who made this subreddit what it is: a vast community. We have had users hatch more than 1k eggs and users who have given away over 1k eggs.

We have had the pleasure of serving you for all these years. We will keep the subreddit open as a reminder of what a great place it became. Our Discord server will also remain for you all to talk in.

Some links to continue contributing to our wonderful communities:

Once again, thanks for your dedication, enthusiasm, and hard work keeping this sub what it is.

Thanks,

Your current and former moderation team!

Giveaway before shutdown on Monday!

Hi guys!
3DS online shuts down on Monday, so I'm doing a giveaway. This will be a little different from a traditional giveaway.

I've been doing RNG manipulation for a while and am able to RNG eggs with specific ESVs. I don't change the game's data in any way, only read it and determine which frames to accept the egg on. I'm only doing gen 6 since it's significantly quicker. This giveaway is open to anyone who knows their TSV and would like me to breed a shiny egg for them :)

Note: I will not be RNGing for custom IVs, Nature, Ability or Gender. 1 per person per day please!

My Friend Code is: 1049-3445-4988

If you want a shiny egg, fill out this form:

Pokémon (see Link or provide your own parent):
Your TSV:
Friend Code:
Trainer Name (XY or ORAS):

Please be patient with me! I might be busy at the time of the request, but I will get to it eventually.

Thanks!

  • Wiki - Our knowledge base. If this is your first visit, start on our Quick Start page instead, then go to the full Wiki!
  • Checking methods - Several methods that describe how to check egg and trainer values!
  • Discord - Visit our Discord to chat with other members of the community. You can also use our Discord to request or offer ESV/TSV checks in #sv-checks by mentioning @Egg Checker in your request for help.

###Quick reference for users having their Eggs or Pokémon checked:

When another user offers to check eggs for you, they will most likely tell you which method they will be using. Below is a list of the most common methods, and brief instructions on what to do for each one.

  • TEA method: The checker will initiate a trade with you in-game. Show the Pokémon (or Eggs) you would like checked on the screen. Do not offer or trade the Pokémon (in Gen 7) — they only need to be visible on the trade screen. If you are having multiple Pokémon/Eggs checked, show each one for a couple seconds, and then quickly move on to the others. The checker may use nicknamed Pokémon as signs to let you know when they are ready for you to begin/stop showing Pokémon.
  • GTS method (For TSV Checks only): The checker will ask you to deposit something over the GTS, and give specific details of what you should request. The checker will search for your deposited Pokémon and trade for it. After confirming you are the Original Trainer (OT) of the Pokémon they recieved (by matching it with your OT/ID from your game), they will provide you with your TSV!
  • Please note: You will usually not receive the Pokémon you deposited back from the checker when using this method!
  • Battle video (BV) method: The checker will challenge you to a battle in-game. Bring the Pokémon you want checked, and be sure to enter them into the actual battle. Forfeit the battle immediately.
  • If the Pokémon being checked are eggs, disable autosave (important), and then hatch them. Reset your game after the battle.
  • Trade method: Trade your Pokémon/Eggs to the checker. They will read their information and then trade them back to you.

Working together on Patrat, Pans & Furfrou

Hi comrades,

Are there enough breeders, checkers and hatchers active to work together on this project I have in mind?

I'd like to get shiny HA Patrat & Watchog, DH Pansage, Simisage, Panpour, Simipour, Pansear and Simisear, and RH Furfrou,* fairly soon(ish) - since it's looking less certain we'll get these breedable in a new game before Bank might eventually shut. (*I could provide these parents!)

Who would be up for this? We'd work together to get enough shinies hatched for everyone taking part :) Team work makes the dream work and all that
