If you catch a shiny when chain fishing, will it break your chain?

Question

Just got a shiny skrelp from it and caught it. Is my chain still going? I tried looking online but it remained a mystery. Please respond if you know or not. Thank you!

Answer 1

No, it is still going. So long as you don't do anything but keep fishing, your chain will continue. If you move from your spot, access a menu, etc your chain will end.

I do notice that the amount of shinies I get is lower after I go to a menu, though that may be a coincidence.

i might be lucky i dont know, all i know was i was healing up my Malamar(because i was battling the pokemon i was chain fishing) and Malamar was my suction cup user to make sure i get a pokemon. Oh and if you dont hook a pokemon it breaks the chain

Answer 2

As long as you dont move from the spot you start fishing in your chain will not break.
