What is the best way to get a shiny Eevee?
I want to either breed or catch a shiny Eevee in my Pokemon Y game. Do you know any good ways to do so?

The two primary methods for shiny hunting in X/Y is by using the Pokeradar and horde encounters. However, Eevee can’t be found in hordes so the Pokeradar would obviously be the prime choice. To give an in depth explanation to the mechanics of the Pokeradar would use up a lot of space and has been explained before. Instead I will leave you with a link from Smogon explaining how to use it to chain for shinieshere.
Now, chaining with this method has its risks, and personally I find it very frustrating. In my opinion the best way to find shinies is through the Masuda Method. Through this method there is less risk of losing your shiny and as a bonus you can breed down any Nature, IVs, and egg-moves you may want. You will need a Pokemon (normally a Ditto) from a version of the game in a different country. This can be easily obtained through the GTS or can be arranged with people online. Breeding Pokemon from two different countries increases the chance of finding a shiny.
Through the Pokeradar your odds will increase from1/4096to40/4096(or around 1/200)
Through the Masuda Method, your odds will increase from1/4096to6/4096(or around 1/683)
Do some research and experiment with each method to find the one that works best for you.Hope I helped!
