I have a theory:
About five minutes before this post I found a shiny vivillion in my friends safari. Seems normal right? I don't normally get shiny pokemon in the fs, but what was unusual about this encounter was that I had been hunting in another safari prior to my shiny encounter (hunting for about an hour) This lead me to write this equation:
New Shiny Rate= 4074\Number of encounters. Some sort of stack effect that affects your shiny rate upon entering a safari. I watched two people get a shiny (or two) from the safari under these circumstances. If someone else (besides me) could confirm/ test this. It would be great
as despite the scientists conclusions (outstanding btw) I think there is more to this than a conventional rate. Let's find some answers!
Update: Did some more testing, found a shiny espurr after stacking in a water type safari, although there have been no other shinies yet. Anyone have anymore data/theories?
