So I'm confused, if I wanted to get a shiny by breeding, and - I'll use a squirtel for instance - I put a squirtel in to breed with a regular Pokemon, would it up my chance of a shiny? That being said, if I were to breed two shinies , would that up my chance as well?

Breeding for shinies the short guide;

List of thinags required; Pokeradar, batteries for said equipment, pokemon you want to breed (squirtle for this case) and patience.

1. You breed 2 squirtles together to get eggs in the daycare. (Don't forget to add money for the day care man!)
2. You can ONLY hatch squirtle eggs to 'chain' them together, hatching almost any other eggs will 'break' your chain and you will have to buy new batteries to try again.
3. Putting in shinies in your daycare will NOT increase your chances of getting a shiny.
4. Your max chance to hatch a shiny will happen at 40 eggs.
5. Now from this point you have to sit and wait for it to shine. It could take 1 egg in the chain or over over 300 eggs to get your first shiny. That's where patience comes in.
6. Good luck!

If you don't have a pokeradar, but followed all the other steps, would you still be able to breed shinnies?

Yes, but it will take an extremely long time.
