So if you and your friend are online then you have a better chance at finding a shiny in the friend safari?

We can't know for sure.

Personnally I've tried finding a shiny in the safari since yesterday night while following this rule, no shiny for me yet.

Chain fishing is much more reliable I think.

Well, I can't be certain how its influenced by whether or not you're online... but I know that when I found both, my shiny Zebstrika and my shiny Electrode (in the same safari about an hour apart), the person was not online (or I suppose I should say while I wasn't online). But I also found a number of shinies while the person may have been online... I wasn't really keeping track though.

Chain fishing is probably faster, but I also think that given the number and frequency of shinies found in the friend safari and with the relative ease of which they're found, it's pretty certain that at the very least they are more common in the friend safari than outside of the friend safari (excluding the use of chaining methods).

I can't really believe I've just been lucky 9 or 10 times with a 1/8000 ratio of finding shinies. Especially when so many other people are finding shinies as well.

Maybe if you're not finding shinies, stop focusing on doing such, EV train a few pokemon using different safaris or something like that. Hopefully something will pop up! Let me know. =]

By the way, I'm just going to list some of the things I've found. It might be helpful somehow, idk.

Kristin's Fighting Safari: 2 Shiny Pancham
Chang's Electric Safari: 1 Shiny Zebstrika, 1 Shiny Electrode
Pewsks' Normal Safari: 1 Shiny Ditto
StrikerS' Psychic Safari: 1 Shiny Sigilyph 2 Shiny Abra (only managed to catch one of the Abra's)
Armeliuz' Fire Safari: 1 Shiny Pyroar

I dont know if it helps but i scored a shiny Torchic using the breeding method. I stuck my event Blaziken in with a Japanese Ditto i got on the GTS and first egg they popped out was shiny. I've tried multiple times to get other shinys by using the breeding method and still nothing. After 30 some odd Ralts and multiple pain-staking Eevee's i have.only obtained the shiny Torchic
