Dexnav shiny chances?
What are the actual numbers for acquiring a shiny through the dexnav chain method? I have scoured the internet and the closest thing that I have found was this.
The chance of encountering a Shiny Pokémon also increases, estimatedto reach 0.5% per encounter after 40 chained encounters, and remain atthat rate as long as the chain continues. There is thus a 50% chanceof encountering a Shiny Pokémon in the first (roughly) 130 chainedencounters. A chain is broken when the player leaves the area(including entering a building), encounters a wild Pokémon that isn’thidden, or moves too quickly and scares away a hidden Pokémon. HiddenPokémon can be encountered for a chain either with or without theSearch function. Getting the message “The Pokémon couldn’t be found.Try looking in a different area!” when using the Search function doesnot break the chain.
I am confident that I am doing the chain correctly but have been unsuccessful after making several chains that go well over 200. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Those appear to be the actual numbers. Also, it did say> There is thus a 50% chance of encountering a Shiny Pokémon in the first(roughly)130 chained encounters.
“Roughly” means that the 50% mark lies around that point, mathematically. It could be anywhere as low as 120, or as high as 160. The fact that you still haven’t found a Shiny is just a roll of the dice – no matter how favourable your odds are, there is still a chance of failure. Just keep chaining, and you’ll get that Shiny. I commend you on having the patience to chain 200+ Pokémon, I was chaining fora Bold HA Tangela and only found two in 60, and neither was Bold. So I gave up and decided to breed for it.
