Took almost three hours but I got a shiny Grubbin. 4 max IVs in HP, Sp ATK, SP Def, and speed. And a calm nature. Not totally ideal but since it didn't get IVs in Attack, that's not an issue.
Nice, congrats!
How do you do this chaining stuff ??
You get the Pokemon down to low health using a move like False Swipe and then usually it will call for help. You can use an Adrenaline orb to make it more likely to call for help. The shiny rate is higher for Pokemon that get called, probably about 1/512. The more calls you get without leaving the battle, the better IVs it will have and a chance to get its hidden ability.

Here is a guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/5d55id/a_guide_to_chaining_for_pokemon_in_sunmoon/

So I'm trying to get Encore, Moonblast, and Disable on my Smeargle. Does anyone know where the best spots are to get those moves on it? I've never really done much with Smeargle before.

You weren't kidding about Dhelmise as GTS pokedex bait.

Speaking of I managed to get a 6 IV ditto from Japan and I've been breeding them so if anyone wants a 5 IV Dhelmise (I haven't been locking down any natures) I'm gonna have plenty

Spent my lunch hour shiny chaining for a Pikipek. 96 encounters later, no luck. How do people get them in like 30 encounters? Wtf

Good question. I lost count but when you combine my first broken chain I'm pretty sure my Grubbin encounters was pushing 300.

I'm taking a break from Dhelmise breeding and going for Rockruff again. This time I have three U-Turners (two of which have false swipe) because the sand attack crap is really annoying.

After fishing up a bunch of ~level 40 Wailmer I sure wasn't expecting the first Dhelmise I came across to only be level 10.

Starting to regret this third Rockruff shiny hunt. I'm wasting so much time that I could be spending filling my Pokedex with my Dhelmise's.

I suppose I can always stop and start another hunt later, but I can't bring myself to quit.
