How do you make Pokémon more likely to stay in Poké Pelago?

Question

So far I've had five Pokémon come and leave, including an Adamant Shellder. Now there's a Magnemite and Trevenant and I want them. I've also seen people get Shinies in Poké Pelago, and if that ever happens I need to be prepared. So what makes Pokémon stay? Do Rainbow Beans have any effect? Do I have to leave beans on the ground? What's the secret?

Comments

I've been wondering the same thing.

After enticing a Lapras to stay, I checked the Serebii page to see if it gave any clues.  The only information I found was that at different points in the game, the rarity of which Pokemon may appear changes based on your story progression, and that more Pokemon species become eligible.

I've only had like two stay and 5 total so this is probably not it but only the ones I interacted with many times/had beans out for stayed. Probably just random variation but whatever
