    If they don't spawn, just go to an area where the pokemon appears frequently and fight a lot of it. It's the same essential thing, but it won't produce a shiny of that pokemon; it'll actually be another one in that area.

    Me again: when I say you don't have to do it in chain format, I mean it's still okay to fight something else, but try to fight a lot of the same pokemon one after the other LIKE it's chaining. It'll just get another one to occur, which is how it's different.

    You can also fight multiple of the same pokemon for a long time. It won't trigger the one you're fighting to occur as a shiny; it'll be something else in that area. It doesn't even take very long. :) You just have to keep fighting the same one and you don't even have to do it in chain format.

    Hey guys, do sparkling power sandwiches affect the odds of a shiny through breeding? With/without shiny charm, and masuda method? Thank you!! ps. be on the lookout constantly for shiny pokemon everywhere because half of the shinies i've found have been by accident!!

    I would like to give a warning that mass outbreaks that have zorua as the pokemon will not spawn. In I used a shiny sandwich with encounter power and I see zero zoruas. I found this out in the tagtree thicket.
