Shiny Hunting
Shiny hunting refers to the act of attempting to hatch a specific Shiny by hatching the same type of Egg repeatedly. This can be done with no upgrades by trying for a shiny with a 1 in 1024 chance, that's about a 0.1% chance of a Pokemon randomly hatching as a Shiny. You cannot chain a certain Pokémon without upgrades, so hatching the same kind of Egg in a row does not increase the chances of finding a Shiny in this case. Users without a Radar who are on a hunt may hatch as many different kinds of Eggs in any order as they want.
There are special circumstances as to when everyone gets a shiny boost.
To further increase your chances of hatching a Shiny, you'll need the PokéRadar and be in Hypermode to chain a certain Pokémon. The PokéRadar alone lets you chain up to one Pokémon, raising your chances quite a bit. With Hypermode, you can reach the maximum capacity after consecutively hatching 40 Eggs of the same Pokémon species. This boosts your chances up to 3,996%, about a 4% chance a Pokémon will hatch Shiny. At this point, hatching more of the same Egg will not increase you chances, but will result in hatching a Shiny sooner or later. This also has a lot to do with luck, though, so don't give up soon after reaching max chance! It might take hundreds of Eggs before you hatch a shiny - or it might hatch very early in the chain.
Further boots can be obtained through a Shiny Charm, which doubles your boost for a full 24 hours. Shiny charms disappear after 24 hours, unless the user owns a Shiny Charm Box. However, the Shiny Charm will still need recharging to be used again. Shiny Charms can be bought and recharged with Gold Poké.
