 The [[Poké Radar]] returns in this generation after a generation of absence, and the [[Masuda method]] and Shiny Charm return as well. There are also two new mechanics to increase the Shiny rate: [[Fishing#Generation VI|consecutive fishing]] and the [[Friend Safari]]. The exact rates at which some of these techniques increase the Shiny probability have not yet been conclusively determined.
-From empirical evidence, Pokémon encountered in the [[Friend Safari]] are eight times more likely to be Shiny, at a 1/512 probability. This is unaffected by the Shiny Charm. Also from empirical evidence, the probability of hatching a Shiny Pokémon through the Masuda method while using a Shiny Charm is 1/512 as well. As this is double the previous generation's rate, just like the standard Shiny rate, it is conjectured that all Shiny probabilities are simply double that of the previous generation, which would mean a 3/4096 (about 1/1365) probability using the Shiny Charm alone and a 6/4096 (about 1/683) probability using the Masuda method alone.
