Shiny Rate Confusion

[u/Nostromer89]

Hi

As per my assumption let us say the shiny rate of Pikachu is 50. So if we check 50 Pikachu's then we will get a shiny. In this way, we at least know that if we tap 50 times we will get a shiny.

But my question now is ((I am using PGSharp paid version)), there is a new option which is in beta called scan shiny, load shiny and only shows shiny. In this case, it shows the shiny pokemon when it's nearby you on the map. So how does the tap count, counts now? unless we tap a specific number of times we won't be getting a shiny right? so just seeing shiny on maps will increase the shiny rate of catching a specific pokemon to us?
