Clarification regarding Masuda Method
#1
Let's say for an instance I have a US cartridge. Will the Pokemon I caught in it partnered with an ITA Ditto activate the Masuda Method for shiny breeding?
I have read different ideas about it such as JPN Dittos being the best bet, or as long as you can see a black tag above the summary of a Pokemon it would work.
#2
From what I've gathered it should. All that seems to matter is a different region. Italy is certainly a different region then the US. My guess is that as long as there's a tag it should work. Might get iffy if you live in the UK. And Canada and Mexico might be considered the same region as the US.
#3
From what I can tell, It works if the two pokemon have different region tags. Like Mexico and Italy, or Japan and Germany.
The minute you think of giving up, think of the reason why you held on so long.

I guess it's okay then. Thanks for the answers! Smile
