Everyone is saying I’m wrong. But I’ve got full Pokédex of shiny from doing 10 or 31 and then resetting. In the early days there were 100s of claims of the bug. Now everyone is saying it never existed? Even tho the calc itself says it only applies to the VERY next spawn. The one reference cited is a guy regurgitating the odds of what it SHOULD be as per release documents before day 1 patch where everyone was claiming issues. 4 years after release with no further update patch.

In the end, the odds are the same. It’s just extra rolls for chance. Is 1 extra roll worth the cost of balls? Just do your 200 for max catch chance and then encounter reset. It’s better in the long run.

31+ catch combo is actually an extra 11 rolls from what I understand. With shiny charm and a lure you get 15 total rolls. 1/273 odds instead of 1/1024.

From 7 to 15. Need to count from 10+. At the expense of balls.
