Hunting for a Shiny Sentret/Furret and I'm doing the Masuda Method on Pokemon Ultra Moon.
I have a Spanish Furret and an Australian Ditto ready to breed for the Masuda method.

Even though the Spanish Furret's name is the same as its English name, will the Masuda method still work? It does have the "SPA" tag.

Does the Masuda method work with one foreign Pokémon?

The most common way to arrange such a pairing is to use one foreign Pok\xe9mon and one from the game in which the breeding occurs, although the method will work in any game provided at least one of the Pok\xe9mon in the pair is from a language different to the language the game is being played in.

Does Masuda method only work with Japanese?

The Masuda method for breeding shiny Pok\xe9mon will work with any combination of pok\xe9mon, provided the two are from different regions (which in your specific case they are).

Does Masuda method only work with foreign Ditto?

Yes. The Masuda Method still works in this generation and with Ditto(s/es). In fact, you don't even have to use a Japanese Ditto. So long as one of the Pokemon is from a different region than the other, then they have an increased chance of breeding a shiny Pokemon.

Does breeding Pokémon from different countries?

By breeding Pok\xe9mon from two different countries, you'll increase your chances of getting a Shiny Egg. You can obtain Pokemon from other countries through online trading. To make this method much, much easier, you'll want to obtain a Ditto.
