2nd gen: What are the odds of me hatching a shiny Vulpix with a shiny Typhlosion and a Vulpix in the daycare?

NOTE: Unless you understand the breeding mechanics of the second generation of Pokemon, don’t bother to try answering this question.

In 2nd gen, shininess was determined by the Pokemon’s DVs, another term for IVs. Breeding, as it always has been, passes down the stats of the parents to the child.

I’ve read that breeding with a shiny Ditto in 2nd gen gives me the chance of 1/64 to hatch a shiny of any Pokemon I breed it with. However, I do not have a shiny Ditto, but I do have a shiny Typhlosion on my Silver version.

I also know that the gender ratio of a Pokemon can effect the shininess, such as a female shiny Typhlosion unable to exist due to the stat calculations not adding up between a shiny and a female.

I have my shiny male Typhlosion with a regular female Vulpix in the daycare. I’ve read that I might have a 1/128 chance of a shiny, but I’m stumped because the gender ratio is also put into account since a female Vulpix is more common than a male one.

My question is:what are the odds, if any, that I will hatch a shiny Vulpix when breeding a shiny Typhlosion and a regular Vulpix together?

It is time for some maths. Ohh yeah.

So you have a shiny male Typhlosion. According toBulbapediashinyness is based on IVs

HP: 0 or 8

ATTACK: 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15

DEFENSE: 10

SPECIAL : 10

SPEED: 10

Now, we come to breeding. The baby gets its IVs from the parent of the opposite gender, so you need to get a female Vulpix.

The Defense IV is passed, while the Special IV has a 50% chance of remaining the same. Attack and Speed are determined at random, at an approximate 1/15 chance. HP has to be 0 or 8

So 1/2 X1/151/16X1/151/16X1/7.51/8=1/3375.1/40961/512.

It’s 1/512, that’s the final answer, the final one. Whew.

EDIT: I done goofed up, cheers Unknown Letter Q. I also have messed up on the HP DV. Pardon the constant editing.

Hope I helped.
