I saw a thread on /vp/ saying that if you consecutively fish for Pokemon like what the fisherman in Route 16 said the chances of encountering a shiny will increase like the PokeRadar.
It's quite easy to do all you need is:
-A pokemon in the front of your party with the ability Suction Cups/Sticky Hold so you'll always get a bite.
-A pokemon that knows Surf.
-Any fishing rod registered for faster access.
1. All you have to do is go to any spot that has a small place for you to fish. Make sure there's at least a rock near that spot. EDIT: I don't know if having a rock by your spot is required but try fishing without the rock to see if it works.
Example:
2. Next you fish for a pokemon like always and when you go into battle just run away. If you fail to reel in the pokemon you have to start over. I also heard that if you catch the pokemon the chain will end but I'm not sure if that's true.
EDIT: Don't move from your fishing spot as well.
3. Keep fishing for pokemon until a shiny one appears. Keep in mind you can't control what shiny pokemon will show up like the Pokeradar. I've done this today and I got a shiny Relicanth and Clawitzer as a result.
