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 X is 1 in 4,096. The Shiny Charm is available in this game and adds two extra shiny rolls.
Tips
- •Some spots have different tables from land versus while surfing.

- Chain Fishing (20+) — Gen 6 fishing only. A chain of 20 adds 40 extra shiny rolls (~1/100, ~1/95 with the charm).
