#### Masuda Method

If I used a Shiny Gyarados with this method, does it increase my chances slightly to have a shiny offspring? Or is it the same if I just used a normal Pokemon from my cart?

AFAIK no, you still get the 1/1639 (Gen IV) or 1/1366 (Gen V) chance of getting a Shiny Pokémon when breeding with two Pokémon of different geographical origins regardless of whether one is Shiny or not.

Okay thanks! And also just double checking but if I have a French Ditto and English Raichu, that will work right?

Yeah, that should work.

Okay sweet. I got a French Ditto through GTS and was hoping it was legitimate/would work. It's named Metamorph, with an accent on the e so I'm assuming it's a legit French Pokemon since there aren't any accented letters on the English keyboard.
