hi! Yeah previously shinys were appearing far too often. I had the odds set at 1/512 while testing just to make sure they would all spawn. Now the values are properly matching the real rates at 1 in roughly 8k. Yeah. Huge nerf.
I doubt Ill change the base rate, as I want as much of the game to be familiar to players of the main series. However, the games have ways to lower the rate, so Ill probably include those too in the future. For now all I can say is, get familiar with the routes and encounter tables and just make sure youre shiny hunting in the right place. Like Marrowak, better odds in Victory Road than Lavender even though you find it in Lavender first.
