How the hunt works
Cast from a tile where your target appears, reel in every bite, and flee non-shinies. Fishing is one of the most input-light hunts, which makes it comfortable for very long sessions.
The base rate in Pokémon Silver is 1 in 8,192. There is no Shiny Charm in this game, so the base rate is the best you can get.
Tips
- •Some spots have different tables from land versus while surfing.
