The Masuda Method is a special way to increase the chances of getting a shiny Pokémon by breeding two Pokémon from games of different languages. It's named after Junichi Masuda, a Pokémon game director. So, if you breed a Pokémon from an English version of the game with one from a Japanese version, for example, your odds of hatching a shiny Pokémon go way up! It's a fan-favorite strategy for shiny hunters in Pokemon Violet.

In simple terms, Masuda Method = higher shiny rates. Breed Pokemon from different countries.

Honestly, the Masuda Method takes patience. Tried it in Pokemon Violet, took ages but finally got my shiny Skwovet. Worth it if you're a shiny hunter.
