now i'm slightly interested in whether or not this method existed in b/w or even dppt, but wasn't found due to shiny rate being even higher (assuming they actually lowered it like everyone suspects)
dunno if this needed its own thread but ehh
for anyone skeptical, this works
I've caught 2 shiny clawitzers and a relicanth using this method
Chained 73, reacted slightly too late the 74th time. I thought I was barely over 50 before I checked.
I must have horrible luck at catching shinies. I've been tipping 1000 Pokedollar every time I can (not that I'm spamming it, just when the moment presents itself).

I really need a Shiny that I can add to my party (that doesn't need Focus Sash to be good).
I caught a shiny shellder
