I think its because theres so many Pokmon in the overworld whereas thats equivalent to a bunch of wild encounters youre just going to skip over in traditional games. Couple that with the fact that mass outbreaks have a better shiny chance too

So far Ive caught 4, not counting the shiny Ponyta you get from that quest:

  • Scyther (mass outbreak, evolved into Kleavor)
  • Glameow (traded to a friend)
  • Roselia
  • Happiny (mass outbreak)

I've done some outbreaks and haven't had any luck there yet, but I chanced upon a shiny Zubat while I was flying around.

They are.

And they can get absurdly more common than ever before:

I often wonder if we are growing as a people... or in fact, regressing.

Wow. Imo shiny Pokemon should have had their rates significantly increased like this a long time ago.

1 in 4096 was standard odds before this game

In fact outside of an outbreak, having species level perfect + shiny charm is only somewhat better odds than Masuda Method in earlier games

I've heard that they're like twice as likely by default and then there are a bunch of conditions that increase your odds on top of that. I had several already and then I finally got the shiny charm last night.

Edit: ninja'd by like four minutes apparently

I'm sorry, but 10,000 of ANYTHING on a PS2 would absolutely destroy your framerate. It'd be like playing chess through the mail. ~johnboy1

Theres a method to farming mass outbreaks but I want to get the shiny charm before I bother with it
