The basic rate of encountering a Shiny Pokemon is 1/8192. With chaining, I believe that you need to reach a chain of 40 or above before a Shiny Pokemon becomes common enough to rely on encountering.

No, that is not true at all. The only common ways to influence the chances of encountering a Shiny Pokemon are chaining and the Masuda Method for breeding.
