Why fish in a dead end?Yes. If you "don't even get a nibble", it breaks the chain. The best way to (almost) guarantee a bite every time is to use a Pokémon with Suction Cups or Sticky Hold first in your party and find a fishing spot that is pretty secluded, like a dead end of a water route or besides rocks/beach/land. You can run away from the fished Pokémon and continue fishing until you find a shiny.
EDIT: Finally got that damn shiny Goldeen (was hoping for Corphish though haha), after an hour of fishing and a chain of... I don't even know.
I'm not sure, but everybody who has mentioned the method has put that as a requirement.Why fish in a dead end?
No, it hasn't. Skrelp >> Horsea >> Skrelp >> Skrelp >> Skrelp >> Horsea >> Shiny Skrelp.When you're fish chaining, does it have to be the same Pokémon over and over?
Yeah you shouldn't move otherwise it just gets harder.Wondering if fish chaining works if staying still while surfing? Been doing that to see if any success but may just be unlucky.
Thanks, I wasn't moving around, just sitting on Lapras, been doing this for ages, hoping a shiny pops up soon as my reaction time fishing is strugglingYeah you shouldn't move otherwise it just gets harder.
Yeah, it works when surfing. That's how I got the four shinies I have. Just now trying to fish while standing on land, and having the worst luck ever. I must have a chain of hundreds already (haven't counted), and not a single shiny yet. I might have actually accidentally broken the chain though, but still. Gotta keep trying!Wondering if fish chaining works if staying still while surfing? Been doing that to see if any success but may just be unlucky.
