How the hunt works
Cast repeatedly from the same tile — you never need to move. Sort your rods by which one gives your target the best rate; the Good Rod table sits between the Old and Super Rod.
The base rate in Pokémon X is 1 in 4,096. The Shiny Charm is available in this game and adds two extra shiny rolls.
