"Potential New Research: I just caught four shiny Magikarp using chaining."

#PokemonGO: After reading two posts about "chaining" on TSR, i.e., catching the same Pokemon over and over until you get a shiny, I decided to test and see if the technique worked in Pokemon Go.I previously had one shiny Magikarp and caught four more using chaining.DateTimePhoto LinkNumber CaughtMay 164:12 PMCP 7716May 164:38 PMCP 1219May 165:44 PMCP 1651*May 179:06 AMCP 9835*One Magikarp fled after the 10thAs for technique, I only caught Magikarp, but once I caught a shiny, I would then catch another Pokemon to reset the chain. (To be honest, I am not sure this was necessary but it seemed like a good idea to me.)Of course, there is an important caveat in that this was my own personal experience which may have been a statistical fluke rather than evidence that chaining existences in Pokemon Go. Other players in water biomes would need to repeat my experiment to see if this technique actually works.Furthermore, there are a lot of interesting implications if chaining for shiny Pokemon is possible in Pokemon Go. For example, nests will become even more valuable in the future with the release of all shiny Pokemon. A potential downside would be botters creating bots that only caught specific Pokemon in order to increase the likelihood of a shiny.BONUS PHOTOS: I decided to evolve my original shiny Magikarp into a shiny Gyarados.
