Sorry to bump, but I figured the OT is the best place. My son and I just rented this from our local library. I know last year or so the proper shiny hunting method was revealed but of course, there's still old videos and stuff out there. I just want to make sure I'm shiny hunting properly:
If I'm shiny hunting Caterpie(I just started, so I have no bonuses yet), once I get to 31+, every time I catch a Caterpie, every Caterpie that spawns after I catch one in my chain as the boosted shiny odds, right? Its not just boosted after another 31?
If I zone out of an area after catching a Caterpie, then go back in, that doesn't reset the boost, correct? So if I catch, zone out, zone back in, one of the Caterpie that spawns will be boosted?
