What were the chances of me finding two back-to-back shiny patches?

Question

I had a 40 and a 41 chain; no radar resets between

Do you know how many patches of grass were shaking in each of those sets that had a shiny patch? If not, the best odds we can get are 1/99x1/99= 0.01020304% chance.

four tiles apart, all four grasses i believe

Answer 1

(1/99x4)x(1/99x4) = 0.163248648% chance of getting two of them back to back. It seems pretty high, but thats all it is when the odds are 1/99.

Answer 2

If you were not to have a chain, it will be 1 in 16744464. With a chain of 40, there is a 40x chance. So if you were to have a chain of 40, the chance of back-to-back shinnies are 1 in 10465.29.

Chain multipliers don't work this way: https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1462473371917111303
