4th Gen Shiny chainers come here!

For all you expert chainers, how many of you stop chaining at 20 and still catch some shinies when you reset at 20?

 

[Mukkamoto]

i think you gotta be slightly lucky to be able to catch shinys at chain of 20

 

[soda531]

Yeah, I've only caught a Snubbel (shiny) at 40

Yes and no, if you study the grass it is easy. However, luck does have to be on your side ;)
I have caught a few with the chaining. Highest was 31 :D Then i blinked after it. I was like. NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU haha!

I tried before, but I don't bother anymore. It's quicker to chain to 40 :O
It sometimes takes long enough resetting at even 40, and a single Shiny isn't usually enough when looking for competitively useful ones.
Soo i'd sooner leave it completely down to luck for getting early Shinies, and focus on reeling more in at the higher chains..

Ha yah, but I've gotten a chain of 8 shiny starly and chain of 15 aron. Lucky me :P My most recent one is shellos. Just got the 6th and last one about 3 hours ago. Now I'm SRing for Uxie!

 

[Darkrai Lv X]

My highest record is,um...11 Bidoofs...
I am a horrible chainer.
