SuMo or XY for shiny hunting?

Sep. 10, 2017

I want to do some shiny hunting because A. It’s fun and B. I have nothing else to do. Anyway, I just wanted to know which game was better for shiny hunting. I don’t have the shiny charm in either game.My preferred method in XY is PokeRadar chaining, while my preferred method in SuMo is breeding. (I mean there’s only like two options anyway, breeding or SOS calls.)

Well, it’s better to look at the odds of every method of finding a shiny to see which game is better.

All of these methods are able in Pokemon X/Y, however all but PokeRadar are in found in Pokemon Sun/Moon (there is PokePelago instead of Friend Safari for Sun/Moon). So from this, you may conclude that Pokemon X/Y is better for shiny hunting since there is more opportunities, but both games work just as well.

*If you do however get the shiny charm, it can increase your chances about300%higher than the standard.

Hope I helped! :)
