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 02 December 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 02 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.

##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.
