Shiny Hunting in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

Major Agnostic, Jan 22: I think they could increase shiny rates by FAR more before the frequency would make shinies forgettable. I tested 1/256 in my hack and people like it. I think 1/800 is the sweet spot for me.

Are non-Go players at a disadvantage?

Minor question
