New to pokemon here, haven't played since OG Crystal.
I have gotten 3 shinies in Crystal Clear (Bill's Eevee after 3 resets rolling for perfect DVs, a wild shiny Magikarp (right after the Mt. Moon one), and pic related.
Bill was a fluke, Karp 2 feels like a dev joke (used an old rod in union cave immediately after flying from Mt. Moon), and Unown came after killing ~350 unsuccessfully searching for no gender/dark hidden power.
The only thing I'm doing differently this time is chaining for perfect DVs via the upgraded Dex Tracker.
I've killed at least 2000 wild mons in this endeavor; am I inadvertently chaining for shinies?
