Shiny Rate
Like any other Pokémon game, Shiny Pokémon are sought by many for either their different coloration and/or just for collection.
The game follows Generation VI shiny probability of 1/4096 (0.024%) for wild and static encounters; when obtaining the Shiny Charm the rate changes to 3/4096 (about 2/2731 or 0.072%).
Due to a bug in how the game handles checking a Pokémon's region, the shiny rate of eggs is unable to increase via the Masuda method or the Shiny Charm, leaving all eggs with a 1/4096 (0.024%) probability of hatching as shiny.
With the introduction of the DexNav the rate for catching shiny Pokémon in the wild is increased to 1/768 (0.13%); with the Shiny Charm acquired the rate is changed to 3/768 (about 1/256, or 0.39%).
The Friend Safari has a chance of 5/4096 (about 1/819, or 0.12%) for encounters to be shiny. With the Shiny Charm, this rate is boosted to 7/4096 (about 1/585, or 0.17%).
Note: In Insurgence, the DexNav doesn't have chaining, it's a flat rate that applies for each encounter when scanned through the DexNav. This means that even if the player leaves the area, the rate isn't affected.
