I was just chaining Goomy on Route 14 and had Zapdos appear, but the chain continued as normal [[User:Christmas4477|Christmas4477]] ([[User talk:Christmas4477|talk]]) 00:07, 6 February 2014 (UTC) | I was just chaining Goomy on Route 14 and had Zapdos appear, but the chain continued as normal [[User:Christmas4477|Christmas4477]] ([[User talk:Christmas4477|talk]]) 00:07, 6 February 2014 (UTC) | ||
== Formula for shiny pokemon is mathematically incorrect. == | |||
Based on the current posted formula a chain of 1 would result in a -.292...% chance, or 1/-341.31... (this is physically impossible). This error is because of order of operations. For it to be as the 1/8000, chance as is stated, there needs to be another set of brackets enclosing "8200-Nc*200". The entire formula should look like this (65535/(8200-Nc*200))/65536. With this amended formula a chain of 1 results in .012...% or 1/8000.12... chance. [[User:CIBlue|CIBlue]] ([[User talk:CIBlue|talk]]) 21:09, 10 March 2014 (UTC)CIBlue | |||
