Hi, Bendy! Don't worry about whether or not the mon you're egg swapping for is genderless or not, the mechanic works the same.
Just make sure to place the Ditto you're breeding with specifically into the daycare, and match it with the foreign Magikarp, or any mon with a egg cycle less than 15 egg cycles, though Magikarp is preferred because it has the least (at only 10). Hatch the eggs in intervals of 30, then take out the Ditto, put it back in, save, and hatch 30 more until one hatches Shiny. When it does, you need to soft-reset the game, and then, DO NOT remove the Ditto. Take out the Magikarp instead and place in the parent whose Shiny you desire. If the Magikarp hatched Shiny at 14 eggs, the 14th egg you get from the new parent will be Shiny. I've done this for my Shiny Deino and Shiny Munchlax and it works fine.
Again, just be sure that when a Magikarp does finally shine, soft-reset and remove the Magikarp, NOT the Ditto, or else the mechanic will fail.
Hope that helped, Bendy! Good luck on that Shiny Minior hunt.

Edit - No it doesn't, apparently. Glad I double checked that.
When using the egg swap method on 100% gendered or genderless pokémon, you have to reject the first egg after Magikarp shines. Without getting into too much technical jargon, this basically means this...
1.) When Magikarp shines, soft-reset without saving
2.) Swap out the non-Ditto parent for the Shiny you want
3.) Reject the first egg
4.) Collect the second one
5.) Reject the next egg
6.) Collect the next one
What this means is that if the Magikarp shined on the 14th egg, you'll actually have to reject and accept eggs until you accept the 28th egg, which will contain the Shiny Minior.
