A JP guide apparently said stuff about some qualities... "Chaining" doesn't "increase" Shiny odds except at two specific points. It's Search Level; you don't even need a chain

At Search Levels 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100, the chances of a hidden Pokémon having high IVs, knowing an Egg Move, or having its Hidden Ability increase. Below is an approximation of these chances based on observed hidden Pokémon encounters.<!--See talk page: "Search level benefits"--> As these values are based on observations, the true chances may be somewhat higher or lower. | At Search Levels 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100, the chances of a hidden Pokémon having high IVs, knowing an Egg Move, or having its Hidden Ability increase.

===Shiny probability=== | |||
The DexNav performs a special calculation to determine if a hidden Pokémon will be forced to be {{Shiny}}. This algorithm primarily depends on the Pokémon's Search Level, but may also be influenced by other factors. Note that even if the DexNav does not force a Pokémon to be Shiny, it may still naturally end up Shiny. | |||
To check if a hidden Pokémon will be forced to be Shiny, the game compares a target number with a random number from 0 to 9,999, and if the random value is less than the target value, it will be Shiny. The target value depends on the Pokémon's Search Level. For every Search Level from 1 to 100, the target value increases by 6 (starting from 0), for every Search Level from 101 to 200, the target increases by 2, and for every Search Level above 200, the target increases by 1, with the total finally divided by 100. This means that a Pokémon with a Search Level of 100 has a target of 600 / 100 = 6; if its Search Level is 200, the target is 800 / 100 = 8; if its Search Level is 250, the target is 850 / 100 = 8.5. Since this is compared against a random number less than 10,000, this means that the chance of forcing a Shiny Pokémon starts at 0.01% at Search Level 1, and it increases by 0.01% after every 16 <sup>2</sup>/<sub>3</sub> Search Levels up to 100 (turning to 0.07% at Search Level 101), after every 50 Search Levels up to 200 (turning to 0.09% at Search Level 201), and after every 100 Search Levels thereafter. By comparison, the natural chance of finding a Shiny Pokémon is approximately 0.024%. | |||
This check to force a Pokémon to be Shiny may be repeated multiple times. For any hidden Pokémon, this check is performed at least once. If a random number from 0 to 99 is less than 4, it will be performed four extra times. If the player has the [[Shiny Charm]], the check will be performed two extra times. Finally, if the player is encountering their 50th Pokémon in a chained streak with the DexNav, the check will be performed five extra times, or if they are encountering their 100th chained Pokémon, it will be performed ten extra times. These extra checks can stack, for a maximum possible number of 17 checks. | |||

A chain builds every time the player captures or defeats a hidden Pokémon of any species. If the player does not capture or defeat the Pokémon (whether the player chooses or is forced to [[escape|flee]], such as by {{m|Roar}}, or the Pokémon escapes, such as by {{m|Teleport}}), the chain breaks. A chain will also break if, outside of battle, a hidden Pokémon appeared and is not encountered (whether by scaring it away, waiting too long, walking too far away, leaving the area, or entering a different battle). The chained Pokémon do not need to be found using the Search function, and the message "The Pokémon couldn't be found. Try looking in a different area!" does not break the chain if received when the Search function is used. | A chain builds every time the player captures or defeats a hidden Pokémon of any species.
