SVExchange: Pokémon Shiny Value Hatching

r/SVExchange

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.

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!
