So I was fish chaining for Clampearl to use on my in game team but the chain broke. The very next reel gave me a shiny Remoraide! Sure it's not rare at all but it's default chance that's all I care about.
The stats and everything are set on the first encounter. However to my knowledge one has yet to be found shiny (same for Mewtwo) so this pretty much confirms that they all have a shiny lock. The birds are a bit different because they take a bit longer to encounter but surely someone would have found one by now.
Congrats on the Remoraid!
In X and Y the birds are set when you walk into the cave, and not the first encounter. Someone tested it out and the nature changed when they SRed. I reckon it was to help get a good nature one, but you don't have to do all 15 or so encounters every time.
Regardless I haven't heard of a shiny one either so as much as that would be easier, I still think they're probably locked.
I'm over 6k for starters and I found a shiny Miltank in X last night on Route 12, so that's pretty cool. I'm in Route 8 now, just taking a break from Route 10 basically.
