Since no one has done this, Here are some tips for shiny hunting:

1) Always have more than 2 pokemon in the party,  1 being your False swiper

2) Leppa berries are useful for horde shunting, make sure you have enough

3) Make sure you have enough pokeballs and healing items

4) Just in case, get a pokemon with Heal Pulse

5) Careful of suiciding moves and Recoil moves

6) Use a Pokemon with the ability Damp, if you encounter a shiny Graveller/Boldore/Koffing

7) Always check the shiny's movepool in the pokedex

8) you cannot change the shiny rate of 1/30000 (unless you are using a donation ticket or a shiny charm)

9) Careful of Struggle

10) Swarms and Phenos can be shinies

11) When fighting in a Sandstorm/Hail, don't use false swipe, let the shiny take damage every turn

12) Use a Soundproof ability mon, to prevent Roar shinies from fleeing (luckily this ain't the case in PokeMMO because Roar will fail)

13) You cannot chain

14) DO NOT HUNT IN THE SAFARI ZONE

15) Have patience (you will eventually get your shiny)

16) You can EV train while shiny hunting

 

Extra: Just Mean Look the shinies with the move Teleport

10) Swarms are shinylocked while Phenos aren't

 

8: You can with Shinycharm and Donatorstatus ticket

 

10: As far as I know there are shiny swarms, at least during the events. Some one got a shiny Umbreon during Halloween event.

Regarding point 12

Roar-type moves will now fail if a wild encounter uses the move, while the target is a higher level

 

 

Instead, Teleport needs to be countered
