SOS chaining has a limit?

    So, I love farming for stuff. This SOS Battle system is amazing to me, though it is kinda dumb that you cannot throw a ball while there are two wild pokemon on the field. Anyway, I've been counting the streaks I do, and been checking the Pokemons IVs. After 30 Slowpokes, I managed to find a 4IVs Slowbro. After 30 Bagon, I managed to find a 4IVs Salamence (holding a Dragon Claw even, and I got iton a Beast Ball. Amazing!) After 13 Dratinis and 17 Dragonairs, I got a 4IVs Dragonair. Would of have continued it, but I was hungry! After ONE HUNDRED AND FOUR Wingulls, I got a 4IVs Wingull.See the trend? 4IVs on everyone. Have anyone also noticed that on your streaks? Is there really a limit, where only up to 4 IV scan get perfected?
     
    It is possible to get 5iv or 6iv Pokemon if you get lucky and keep chaining.

    But after 255 chains, the chain will reset and the shiny odds well drop back to normal, same with the high IV odds.
     
    Basically what Radiating said in regards to the limit. You're pretty much guaranteed a 4IV after 30 Pokemon, but when it hits 255 it'll reset all over again so you need to chain up to 285 to get back to the 4IVs.

    Otherwise, go wild and you might catch a good IV mon (like my 4IV Ditto with 30 on one of its other stats, that was a fun catch).
     
    That's kinda silly. I was looking forward to chain 100 or so to get 6IVs, but maaaannn...
