method lets players breed Pokémon of differing real-world geographical
probability of being Shiny upon hatching.

And how to do it:

Egg resulting from such a pairing will have a higher likelihood of
one foreign Pokémon and one from the game in which the breeding
country of the game cartridge. If both Pokémon are foreign to the
Masuda method is in effect, so both parents come from different
countries, the Everstone will fail to increase the chance of passing
on a nature.

In simpler terms, breed 2 foriegn Pokemon together to get a higher chance with hatching Shinies.

Use 2 Pokemon of opposite countries

for example
French ditto
Japanese dragonite

breed, and get a higher shiny rate
