Egg view question

[Megadan]

This gen has changed a bit in regard to shiny eggs. If an egg would hatch shiny for you, it will hatch shiny if traded to somebody. My goal is to try obtaining every breedable species as a shiny in an egg by collecting a full save file of eggs and checking my save on pkhex. I was wondering if the program recognizes if an egg will be shiny now. I know in past games it worked much differently.

Yes. It'll show the Square or the Star if the egg is shiny.

May I ask how long it took you to get the slowpoke? I've bred plenty of shinies, but I never saved before hatches lol. I think collecting eggs is going to be painful.
