    As a shiny hunter, I just found it funny when you initially thought Piplup would be sub 50 hours. Also, you were pretty lucky with Dialga. I hunted Palkia in a normal playthrough and went over 7000 resets trying to get it. All within a similar amount of time as your hunt...
    I really need a different hobby
    Lastly, I wish I had been around for that, cause I still need to get at least one shiny from the Grand Underground. I'll probably do that after I finish getting everything I can from the 3DS before Pokémon Bank potentially shuts down. Gotta have priorities when hunting 😅

    I hate shiny hunting in this game specifically. From always getting screwed on the Radar chaining, to ruining my Cresselia hunt over 5000 encounters, and 60 hours, into it. To put it into perspective, I'd only do about 100 encounters a day, every day for about 2 months. Discovering I somehow messed up along the way and now the Cresselia was hard-coded to one stat build and non-shiny... broke me.

    Wouldn't the chance in the starter shiny hunt be 4096 ÷ 2 since both pokemon have a chance to be shiny and you lost the coin flip?

    If you used this method and did 5000 tries, your probability of getting at least one shiny is 5000/4096, which is higher than 100%. Therefore, multiplying the probability of a shiny by the amount of attempts is wrong.
    I assume appearances of a shiny are independent events.
    P(shiny) = 1/4096
    P(not shiny) = 1 - P(shiny) = 4095/4096
    This will probably have broken formatting, but here’s the probability tree where you stop after getting your first shiny (you can draw the full map, but we only care about getting at least one) or after n attempts:
    0-1/4096-✨
    \
    \ 4095/4096
    \
    0-1/4096-✨
    \
    \ 4095/4096
    \
    ……
    \
    0-1/4096-✨
    \
    \ 4095/4096
    \
    0
    To get the probability of a “leaf” or an outcome, you multiply the probabilities along the branch to the leaf. The last 0 is the only branch without a shiny, so the negation of it is all the outcomes where you have a shiny.
    P(0 after n tries)
    = P(not shiny)^n
    = (4095/4096)^n
    P(>=1 after n tries)
    = 1 - P(0 after n tries)
    = 1 - (4095/4096)^n
    So, for twelve tries,
    P(>=1 after 12 tries)
    = 1- (4095/4096)^12
    = 0.2925%
    Same answer for small numbers as the method Linkus used, but with this formula, if you do 5000 tries, your probability of at least one shiny is about 71%, and not 122%.
    So Linkus had a 28% of getting a shiny Piplup by the 1360th attempt.

      The egg already had its own ID in place. If that matches up to your secret ID, it will be shiny. If not, then not.
      And the egg shell has only that one texture. Thus, it can't be shiny.
