The Red Gyarados I fished up says otherwise. Nothing wrong with a golden Karp. But there IS something wrong with chain fishing for 2-3 hours...

Eggs or nothing, if you actually want good shinies.

I don't really see why you'd be so upset, OP.
Chain fishing gives you shinies quickly, but it'll very rarely give you anything you can use in battles unless you're up against casuals who don't know what they're doing. If you want something useful MMing is the best way to go.

Have you tried leading with a Suction Cups Pokémon? It raises the getting a bite on your rod.
Also, try reeling it in when you hear the sound, usually works better for me when I listen rather than look.

Try MMing then. More time consuming than fishing, but it's incredibly easy if you think about it. Breed a foreign 'mon with a native one and hatch a load of eggs until you get your shone.

I'm thinking of just going with the second option and using Wild Charge as an alternative and give it Thunderpunch

While I agree that fishing one up may not be as valuable, a red Gyarados that's been MM'd is infinitely more valuable (providing it was MM'd properly).

Well, by MMing properly I mean you give it the right nature and IV spread. That would make it more useful in battles than the HGSS red Gyara and therefore more valuable.

The thing that sucks about shiny pokemon is that the whole point is that they are supposed to be unique and special but they are not. They look just like 100% of all other shinies. What would be really interesting is if shinies could come in many different color combinations, maybe even in randomly generated colors. Then when you finally found one there would actually be something possibly unique and interesting about it.

You just have a huge problem with dropping chains. There was somebody who posted earlier showing how they never drop chains but I forgot their method. I'm pretty sure they focused on the sound instead of making it visual and did it in a quiet place so they could focus
