I may take some time to do some actual testing soon. The theory that only one of them can be found as shiny is interesting. That said, I still feel confident that the rates are increased. Before XY, I have only ever found one shiny in the wild (back in Emerald) and I've played countless hours of every Pokemon game made. For me to suddenly find 3 one day while not even trying is ridiculous. (In contrast I spent a few days trying to do the Masuda method and got nothing... so maybe my luck is just weird.)
I'll be watching this topic since I've been pretty fascinated by this Friend Safari thing since I got to it in-game. Hope we can uncover something!

Hey Yuuto,
Thanks a whole lot for answering! ^_^ You have already found that many, and yay I am not the only one with my "shiny-Poke-monkey-curse" >_> xD I will keep continue the hunt for a shiny starter/or just another shiny (NOT a damn monkey again please :x) And will post here of course with the results. I am currently also going for a Masude Method shiny, Fennekin, and sometimes when the breeding gets me kinda bored, I will hatch eggs in the Friend Safari. While hatching eggs there, I'm hoping to find that shiny Braixen xD (or the hatched shiny, but no luck so far)
Yes, I agree, the shiny rate in a Friend Safari is... ridiculous xD I've heard many stories, also from a lot of people who never encountered a single shiny in years and found like 4 in one day when searching a Friend Safari! o_O
Thanks for your support, and I hop so too, that we will get this sorted out ^_^!
