Hi, /vp/. I think I have conclusive evidence that the shiny rate is higher in X/Y (Or at least higher in the friend safari.) I dumped the .pkx of a shiny chandelure of mine, and XORing the relevant data gave a value of 12. In previous games, this number had to be less than 8 for shininess, so it's at a minimum 1.625 times as likely. I'd guess it's probably twice as likely? Anyway, discuss.

(.pkx files of shinies I dumped are here: http://www.mediafire.com/?zwwaryiynoftoki )
