[S/M] [Spoiler] Shiny hunting with allies?

[KenPhoenixx]

I've heard that as a Pokemon calls more allies to battle, the odds of the ally being a shiny go up. Is this true?

[DemonicWolfCreature]

huh. that is a good theory, and im gonna say yeah, prrobably. Having more pokemon always guarentees a higher shiny rate, but there are some exceptions.

Can you catch the allied pokemon? soz havnt played Sun yet

[KenPhoenixx]

yes you can catch ally pokemon, as any(?) pokemon can call an ally
but supposedly you can chain these allies

Quote:The second change is Ally Chains. For those unaware, Wild Pokemon now have a chance of calling for an ally in battle. As more and more allies appear, they will have better IVs and a higher chance of being Shiny, as well as the possibility of having Hidden Abilities.
