I got to a 40 chain on Shinx, and I found my adorable lil guy after like 2 minutes. But, do the chances of a shiny patch reset? I would like to get some shiny shinx I can give to people
That being said, unlike in DPPt, the odds of finding a shiny seem to reset once you find one
It doesn't reset the shiny chances in Generation 4.

Hope I helped!
Yes, since catching or fainting the wild Pokémon continues the chain, you can continue to hunt for shinies at the same odds of when you caught the shiny. Source: https://www.smogon.com/ingame/guides/dpp_pokeradar Hope this helps!
