Alright so I'm going to throw my two cents in here; am I the only one suspecting that the new shiny chance has been halved?
The highest ID we have seen so far is 4094 (smogon). If this is the case, that means 8192/2 = 4096.
Also, Safari has a greater chance in finding Pokémon, one would assume that this means there are more checks generated with each encounter to try and find a matching TSV. People also assume that tipping can increase shiny chances. Perhaps it makes it generate an extra check?
So does this mean that GF HAS increased the shiny chances? I mean, based off of this information I'd say yes, but I'm really not 100% sure about this. What do other people think? Is all this just pure speculation still or do you think the instacheck we have now is helping us to actually find out some detailed information about this?
Could it just be a hilarious coincidence?
