resolved Shiny spawn rate increase?

[Emiwata15]

Hi everyone, i'm relatively new to the game and and starting some shiny hunting. I was wondering if like in other pokemon games, the shiny drop rate increases the more you've encountered the same poke in one location, or if its always 1/8000-ish.

 

Thanks a lot :)

 

Besides that, any tips for a new trainer would be much appreciated ^^

Every encounter has the same rate.

Doesn't matter how many Pokemon you've encountered, the rate in the wild will always be 1/8192. And yeah, since you've mentioned that you are kinda new to the game, you need not worry about shinies. Maybe once you're done with all the regions, you could try endgame content like that. At the end of the day, it's up to you.

 

Here is a tip that you might find helpful -

Don't evolve Pokemon too early since evolved forms require more EXP to level up.

It stays the same no matter what, only boss rewards have a lower chance (afaik if you choose the shiny option)
