Moon/Sun Swap Breeding

[ShadowCara]

Hi everyone! I have a few questions about the swap breeding method:

1. From the source I read, 2 of the steps made me confused:

- Collect 30 eggs
- Hatch 30 eggs

So is it okay if I hatch the eggs while I'm collecting the 30 eggs?

2. If I hatch all those 30 eggs, and none of those hatch a shiny, will I save and put the parent back? Or do I save AFTER I put the parent back?

It would be nice if you gave me your feedback. Thanks!

I've been messing around with this method as well. From what I understand is this:

Your question in 1 is: Yes, hatch the eggs as you collect them keeping track of how many you hatch. Nicknaming the Magikarp with numbers helps you keep track of how many eggs you hatched before you get a shiny Magikarp. Also, 30 eggs is only an example you can certainly hatch more than 30 eggs if you wanted to.

In your 2 question... I'm assuming you collected eggs before hatching them. Either way removing a Parent from the Nursery only prevents the continued spawning of Eggs, however if one of the parents is a Ditto with Destiny Knot do not mess with Ditto, only the other parent (Magikarp). As for the second part of question 2 I'm not 100% sure as I have yet to have success with parent swapping, but I would save after putting the parent (Magikarp) back in the Nursery and start again.
