Your on a roll!

Well, consec fishing is just very easy to get some shiny pokemon if you're at least a little good at it. Most of mine didn't come untill 150 casts which is sort of high but still easy.

Is the rumor of having a Mon from a diff country/region gives you a better chance to breed a shiny true? I managed to get a Jap Ditto off Wonder Trade (Serious nature wich is shit but still). I already have a Modest Cyndaquil anyway so i can just everstone him instead, i'd love to try to get a Shiny Typhlosion.

So, do you have to fish the same spot over and over?

It is, it's called Masuda Method breeding.
However, there seems to be a slight change. If it isn't a Kalos Ditto it has a worse chance even if it's foreign.

Yup. Just stand still and cast. If you don't hook anything, or reel in too slow or too fast, your streak is reset. Basicly means it's impossible to do without having a pokemon up front that guarantees(almost) a hook. Which also means it's impossible to hook a shiny with a decent nature on top of it, but that's not really what I'm after either way.

[Well]

This is not rumour. This is the Masuda Method. Google it up.

Well, that's going to suck for me

Trade it for a legend or another shiny

[SinR]

In non-X/Y news, I caught yet another shiny Pidgey. That's #2 in about 3 months. Thanks Firered!

I hope you nicknamed it aaabaaajs

[Highmitsu]

Shiny Remoraid... see how ridiculous consec fishing can be? Time to cash in on GTS for some legendaries I don't have yet.

Yesh, better than shiny hunting in grass

[Highmitsu]

Oh yes, the radar can be an absolute menace. No room for error and much more frustrating to break a streak.

Even worse are people trying to trade shinies for other legends, which ironically include one of my shiny thundurus

Same thing was discussed a week ago I think. Back then I was told that it was still just a rumour and has something to do with the shiny chances from the MM being increased in the current gen in comparison to the last one. So an older gen Ditto would have a smaller chance according to the rumor.
