this shit is going around on the internet lately and I want to know if anyone know if it this works or if this method is prooven for catching safari shinys.

That's a really retarded way of wording it. You're guaranteed a shiny if you stay in the Safari regardless of what you're doing.

Also using illuminate makes you pass up synchronize. Even if you're doubling the odds of getting a shiny you're absolutely raping the odds of it having a usable nature.

Statistically speaking the more encounters you have, the more likely you are to encounter a shiny. On an infinite timeline you are of course guaranteed to encounter a shiny.
Big fucking deal.
There's zero evidence that anything in the OP actually increases the shiny encounter rate.

>>15763717 For a given set of encounters and a given shiny encounter rate, there is a probability that one of those encounters will be shiny.

You're confusing what I'm saying with the statement that the more encounters you have, the more likely THE NEXT encounter is going to be a shiny, which is obviously untrue; gambler's fallacy.
But it's basic math that you're more likely to roll a 6 one time if you toss a die 500 times than if you toss a die 2 times.

There isn't.
To judge any statistical event as a group is a gamblers fallacy because nothing is guaranteed just because you did it more times.
The numbers don't magically become greater than 1/8192 just because you caught 2 pokemon.
That doesn't make it 2/8192 it just makes it 1/8192, twice. Those two scenarios are completely different as one implies an increase of chances for no reason (a gambler's fallacy) and the other is how it actually works.
As I said, I don't think you understand statistics.

If you encounter 10000 wild pokemon, you have a higher change of finding a shiny than if you encounter 10 pokemon. This is pretty basic.
What you think we are saying is that if we have had 10000 encounters already, the 10001st will have a higher shiny chance. And this is wrong, obviously.
What we are actually saying is that, in 10000 encounters, the chance of you finding ANY one shiny is greater than in 100 encounters.

You have MORE chances, but they're still the same probability--you have MORE chances, not GREATER ones.
It's not comparable to, say, buying 1,000 lottery tickets and thus have a greater chance of winning the lottery compared to a person who only bought one. Because here, the "winning lottery number" is reset each and every time.

>>15764835 A /probability/ isn't a "statistic" in the sense you seem to be thinking. A 1/8192 probability doesn't guarantee that out of 8192 tries, one WILL be shiny. It just means that each time, you are rolling a die with 8192 sides, and you only get the shiny if it lands on that one shiny side.
On a typical die, you have a 1/6 chance of rolling a 5. That doesn't mean you WILL ABSOLUTELY roll a 5 if you roll the die six times.

What's being said is that if you perform 100 encounters, the odds of ANY ONE OF THEM (whether the first or the 50th or the 87th or the 100th) being shiny is LOWER than if you did 1,000,000 encounters.
This should be obvious. The more encounters, the more chances you have for any one encounter to satisfy some unlikely criteria. That's the NATURE of probability; the more times a chance is taken, the more opportunities for any one of those to go a certain way.

You can't bundle them together like that because they're not related and have no affect on one another.
You could very well encounter 99 shinies on the 100 day and none on the 1000 day.
Your odd are not inherently better on the 1000 day just because you attempted it more.
Every encounter is still an independent trial and, as an independent trial, its odds are 1/8192.

The odds of a shiny not occurring for any single encounter is 8191/8192. The odds of a shiny not occurring for either of TWO encounters is (8191/8192)*(8191/8192). The odds of a shiny not occurring for any of THREE encounters is (8191/8192)*(8191/8192)*(8191/8192). The odds of a shiny not occurring for any of 100 encounters is (8191/8192)^100. The odds of a shiny not occurring for any of 1,000,000 encounters is (8191/8192)^1,000,000
As you extend the total number of encounters within a given attempt/hunt, you increase the odds of finding a shiny in that hunt by giving that hunt more opportunities to satisfy the criteria for success.
That is not the gambler's fallacy. The gambler's fallacy is based on making assumptions about THE NEXT ROLL based on past ones, not making assumptions about THE LIKELIHOOD OF ONE OUTCOME OF ANY ROLL based on the quantity of rolls taken.

>>15766061 Do you want to hear about the chances of finding a FS Ditto with 4 perfect IVs?
You know that 2 IVs are guaranteed to be perfect. Lets consider the other four to be A, B, C, and D. They can be any where from 0 to 31. Anonymous

Is this your first pokemon game? The only ability that has an effect outside of battle, that works while that pokemon is not the leading pokemon, is Flame Body. Anything that affects wild pokemon only applies if its in the first slot.

Hey you know why shiny rates are high in the safari? Because there's only three fucking pokemon that appear in it, which allows you to encounter the same one over and over again at times. Provided if you faint/capture the pokemon every battle, you're basically chaining.

>>15768117 Well with the poke radar you had to faint/catch a pokemon to continue the chain, so I'm sure it's not any different here.

>>15768117 I don't think it matters but why don't you just kill them and exp farm till we actually get GF to give us an answer
