It tends to be a bit difficult to actually catch Pokémon in Horde Encounters though, so battle wisely! Friend Safari - It seems to be easier to find Shiny Pokémon in the Friend Safari, though there isn't anything supporting this but hearsay. Still, I definitely have seen a lot of Shiny Pokémon that have been caught in the Friend Safari, and I myself have caught a Shiny Electrode there. Tipping? - Just a rumor, but people seem to think if you tip a lot of people in the game you have a higher chance of encountering Shinies. Soft Resetting - If there is a Pokémon in the game that you can encounter on demand, like legendary or other event Pokémon on the over world, you can save before the encounter and reset until you run into a Shiny version of that Pokémon. This does not increase your chances, but it will force the game to generate a new Pokémon, meaning you have as many tries as you want to reset for a Shiny. Some legendaries, like Zekrom and Reshiram in BW, cannot be shiny though. These methods were omitted for a couple of reasons, but mostly just because I ran out of time and needed to get the video up! So enjoy and have fun shiny hunting!
