Does the higher shiny rate only affect friend safari's with three Pokemon?

Aug. 5, 2015

sorry if the question isn’t understandable. basically I’m asking if the higher shiny rate (somewhere around 1/512) only affects when the safari of your friend has three Pokemon. reason I’m asking is because I was in a safari with only two Pokemon and lasted 1-2 hours straight and didn’t even encounter one!

thanks in advance.

hopefully the question is completely understandable xD

Pokémon encountered in the Friend Safari have a 1/512 chance of being Shiny, or eight times more likely than normal; this chance is unaffected by the Shiny Charm.

From what I got from this, I’m assuming that the number of Pokemon does not affect the shiny chance. Also, keep in mind, shiny Pokemon are pretty rare, you could be in a Friend Safari for days and find no shiny Pokemon at all.

Hope this helps!Source
