how much have the shiny chances risen in ultra s/m? it seems like every new game, they cut it smaller and smaller. they added the wormhole thing too so now im too impatient when shiny hunting since its become so easy i tried to sr for shiny victini, then learned about 500 srs in, that he was shiny locked
tried to SR for a shiny cyndaquil, never could get one.
also training chaining for a shiny zorua in ORuby, I think I got around 1000ish in my chain and i just.. gave up. xD
Shiny rates haven't changed since gen 6, as far as I'm aware. It's still 1/4096, assuming you're swinging at SRing for starters!
Adding onto that: having a Shiny Charm cuts the rate to 1/1365, and if you Masuda Method + Shiny Charm, then your chance is 1/512!
I'm not sure on the rates with Super Wormholes, Chain Fishing and Pokeradar-- radar's chances max out at 40 (there's a formula to calc shiny chance (you need an account to see links)), and fishing tends to start hitting shinies around 20-30 hits, -+5 or so.
As for gen 3-5, the rate is 1/8192, and in gen 1 & 2, it's based off of IVs.
Sure makes someone feel lucky for finding random shinies way back when, huh?
edit: doot doot did research, it's actually 1/1365 in Gen6 and on if you have a shiny charm
sure doesn't feel like it, i'm at reset #866 and still no yellow jelly

I've SR'd almost every generation of starters. The most noticable is in Soul Silver where I went WELL over 1500 resets and accidentally reset over TWO shiny Cyndaquil.
Several times, but only once successfully; treecko in Alpha Sapphire. The other times I've quit because it's taking too long. I was going to SR for shiny Rowlett in sun but that cutscene... I had to give up.
