Do you need to be surfing to chain fish in X and Y?

Question

I made myself a challenge to ONLY catch shinies in my Pokemon Y play through, and I want to chain fish for the shinies (i brought a sticky hold lileep from ORAS to do that) but I want to make sure I don’t have to be surfing on water to catch shinies. Do I have to be surfing?

Answer 1

You don't have to be surfing to chain fish, but the best places to fish are beside rocks, which decreases the chances of the fish running away (but you already have a Sticky Hold user, so that doesn't really matter).

Hope this helped!
