    I saw some guy on youtube dexnav chaining looking for a shiny. Anyone else heard of this? Is it real or is the guy lying? Maybe it just increases chances of a shiny like masuda method and does not need chaining. Anyone got more information on this?

    Never heard of this. However the more you encounter a Pokemon of the same species the higher the level of search will be and thus the higher chance you get for HA, higher levels, egg moves, IV's, etc. Don't know if it helps with shiny hunting though...

    I got a shiny zigzagoon in the beginning of the game using dexnav which made me think it was possible when i saw the video and the guy got a shiny tropius with dexnav too
     
    I believe as you have more encounters with one pokemon, it's easier to find that pokemon with rarer and rarer things (egg moves, higher level than normal) so imo it seems legit that you could find shinies of specific pokemon faster with DexNav if you have more encounters of the pokemon. I'm just guessing here though.

    I agree and something i found interesting when you first use the dexnav on a pokemon you might get no pokemon in the area mssg but if you find one and faint it then without moving you hit search it always finds another without fail. If you run from it then hit search you get the no pokemon mssg again. To me that seems like a chain
     
    Maybe this DexNav chaining really exists? I mean, first two hours and all I encountered through the DexNav were... Surskits. I was like, "AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE RARE OR SOMETHING?" since back at the originals I have never encountered Surskit, well maybe once, but never again. But in ORAS I ended up with at least 5-6 encounters of the thing. I'm tired of seeing Surskits now.

    But DexNav chaining... hmm... I guess I might try it out sometime. Mmm... shinies...
     
    I have never seen a surskit in ORAS lol. However, I feel there are zigzagoons on almost every route in the game. Post game i defenitely want to try that. I still haven't figured out the dexnav though. :/
     
    Ain't Surskit Sapph-exclusive or something?

    Anyway I've heard DexNav chaining is a thing. A few people have posted guides that I've seen- you CAN use repels, and you have to battle, defeat, do not move, and search again. Don't know how accurate that is but a ton of people have been getting shinies with that method.
