Do shiny odds increase with the amount of encounters?

Question

Say for example you find 78 Kabuto without shiny in Pokémon GO, does the odds chance to 78/4096? Or what about if you get 689 encounters without a shiny in UM? Does the chance go up to 689/4096? Is this the case, or is shiny chance just random with the odds?

Answer 1

The shiny chance is just random with odds. If it increased as you are asking, then you would be guaranteed a shiny by the 4096th encounter, (4096 encounters would make the chance go up to 4096/4096, which is 100%) and this is definitely not the case.

Answer 2

The chances are always at 4096, its mainly luck , the more envounters you get USUALLY you will gte the shiny , bit the actual odds are always the same.

It's 1/4096, not 1/4000.

I just rounded it as did Mega-Roserade. Not much of a difference

In fairness to you both, the asker was the one had it wrong to begin with. I fixed every post.
