For those users here on the forum that likes to shiny hunt, what is your favorite shiny hunting method? I am going to explain each method so you guys know what I am talking about.
There is of course the method of getting extremely lucky, but you only have a 1 in 4096 chance of finding a shiny Pokemon by getting lucky. So you are extremely lucky if you get a shiny Pokemon in the wild.
Soft-resetting is a way to reset your chances of getting a shiny. This method is good for trying to get shiny legendaries.
Masuda Method is breed with a foreign Pokemon and a Pokemon that was created in your game.
PokeRader Chaining is creating a chain by using the Pokerader. This shiny hunting method chances goes up the longer you keep a chain going. Once you reach 40, the chain is at the maximum value for getting a shiny by Pokerader Chaining.
Chain Fishing is creating a chain by fishing. This method also goes up in chances the longer you keep the chain going. I don't believe this method shiny chances will reach a maximum value.
Horde Farming gives you a 5 in 4096 of getting a shiny Pokemon. Sweet Scent will trigger a horde battle to occur.
Friend Safrais gives you a 3 in 4096 of getting a shiny Pokemon
Below is a list of the estimated chances of a getting a shiny Pokemon by using these methods.
