So I've been chaining for a Shiny Ponyta in ORAS for the past 3 fucking days and while not looking at the screen I slowly walked a couple of tiles into the next route. Horrified and furious I quickly went back like nothing fucking happened and lo and behold when I searched for Ponyta my chain continued at lvl 23 and the next another 23 (Ponyta on route 112 start at lvl 16).
I know its not /shw/ and I dont really expect this tread to last till then I just want to know if anyone else has experienced this phenomenon?
FYI I'm at 320 and starting to loose hope.

Chaining with the Dexnav doesn't increase your chances at finding a shiny, it just increases the likelihood of getting better IVs/egg moves/HA

Just keep going, it took me about 500 tries for a shiny Trubbish.

The rate is increased when using DexNav, but it's a flat increase. Getting high chains doesn't make a difference.
>I'm at 320 and starting to loose hope.
You're shiny hunting on easy mode, post gen 5 shiny hunting is for babies and should be disregarded.

So I have a 1/4096 chance of encountering a shiny. What does dexnav chaining do to that number if it doesn't increase the probability with every encounter?
I'm starting to feel super lucky for getting a shiny Ralts after only 50 attempts.

Ok
Same route took me about 263 encounters for my shiny Ponyta. Just keep at it.
Got a shiny larvesta and frillish later that day too.

Dexnav has the same shiny ratio as the friend safari. So 256/1 if you have the shiny charm.
>>29739890
1/512 I mean.
>>29739916
yeah, no shiny charm. Does that mean my odds are 1/1024

>>29739114
hey look what i found
>>29739559
Shiny probability increases with your Search Level. It is not a flat rate
Chains only kind of matter. On chain 50 and chain 100, your shiny odds are significantly increased. But other than those times, chains dont matter.
