6th Gen Chain Fishing

[Whallan]

Just caught a shiny Whiscash after about 15 minutes.

EDIT: Just caught a shiny Poliwhirl after another 20 minutes.

I have tried fish chaining and haven't found any shinies but you are all finding heaps. What breaks your chain a part from moving to a another spot and not getting a bite?

You may not be doing anything wrong, it's not a guaranteed shiny, so patience I guess is all you can try now.

Cyllage or Ambrette I think w/Good Rod.

So it definitely doesn't break your chain if you switch between rods?

So I figured out where this idea came from (sorry if someone mentioned this already). The one fishing house, although I can't remember where, has a fisherman that tells your player that if you land consecutive reels, rare Pokemon will appear. Guess someone saw that and tested it out.

Just caught a shiny remoraid in shalour city after a chain of around 30.

I think it must be true that fishing on spots surrounded by rocks makes shinies more likely to appear. There's a spot at the left of the entrance to the tower that's surrounded by three rocks. That's where I was chaining.

I'm in class, so I haven't had an opportunity to test this out. I'm excited to try later today, but does anyone know if there's some sort of comprehensive list of obtainable 'fishable' Pokémon? I'd like to have some idea of a target.

I dunno if the rock theory is right or not but I always cast my rod so it lands in the parts that sparkle and it never takes me more than 30 to catch one or two

That's great! thank you very much, I'm probably going to go for a Clauncher, results to come.

 

[BadBurrito10]

Chain of 83, chain of 64, chain of 46, and a few chains around or under 20. Not a single shiny. I am getting sad now.
Anyone find that using a certain rod is better or worse? Cause I have only used super rod and I always get bad luck...

I've mainly been using a Good Rod, although it should work with all of them. I don't know if one has a better chance than the others.

Got a Shiny Magikarp pretty quickly out of Old Rod. Try that?

 

[Naxus_Darkstar]

In one chain of indeterminate length, I caught a two shiny Relicanth, a Clauncher, and a Luvdisc. Also, Seadra is confirmed to be fishable.

If you think its your longest chain yet, go to the fishing shack on R15 (I cant remember and don't have the game up atm) and talk to the guy in the back of the shack, he will tell you your longest streak and give you some dive balls which are nice for catching shinies (As I can see you can actually find them unlike me xD )

I guess as soon as I get some homework done I will try the good rod and see if that raises my chances at all. Thanks for the replies guys! {XD}

does anyone know any god fishing spots? cuz im tired of fishing in the same one over and over again.

I tried that on my first attempt. Must have chained to about 50 before I couldn't get a bite.

 

[Aaron40]

I got a shiny Poiwhirl after about 80 chains

 

[oshawottlover13]

does anyone know is this existed in Gen 5 and we just never knew about it?
