As far as I know, I was chaining right, all things that should've been happening happened, level increase, etc. so maybe I just didn't have Arceus on my side.
What I think though is, that because this new way of chaining is fairly simpler than in X/Y, that maybe now its like chain fishing, you don't know when you'll get that shiny Pokémon, but you know somehow it does work & that you may or may not get a shiny sooner or later. My first attempt at shiny fishing was a near 200 chain before I messed up, then a day later, I got my first shiny ever within half an hour of chaining. (Relicanth btw) I've seen enough shiny catches to believe this method somehow works.
