I just ran into this little fellow and I'm just curious. It's gotta be easier to encounter a shiny in this gen. In my 15 years of playing, I've never once encountered a wild shiny.
That is the stupidest anecdotal evidence I have ever heard

It's something like 1/4000 chance by default in SM, or so I heard.
Please enrol yourself immediately in a basic statistics and probability course.
The probability is now 1 in 4000. Confirmes by the npc in GameFreak HQ
You have the same name as me lmao, rip
Shiny hunting on any game post gen 5 is disregarded, its easier + shiny charm. It's a weird feeling seeing kids complain about not getting a shiny within 200 tries, they don't even know the half of the pain we used to go through for shinies
The NPC near the Gamefreak building said: 1/4000
>New game
>shiny rate increased?
Every time.

I've logged about 1.5k hours+ across all games and I never found a wild Shiny, I just randomly hatched one. Still I'm not as whiny as some of these little bitches these days.

not sure why they made it easier, in a few gens it'll be 1 in 2

It took them 14 years (starting in gen 2, ending when they inflated the odds in gen 6) to inflate your odds of finding a shiny from 1/8192 to 1/4096. Exaggerating a wee bit there, anon.
