The idea would be to make it so if people in a link get into the same area and catch the same pokemon a certain amount of times, the enc rate for that pokemon, for the people in the link would increase.
So for example: Myself, Clue, BarackObama, and a random we recruit from global are shiny hunting pawniard, we all get in a link, go to route 9 and we all start catching the pawniards we see to increase our chain, lets say we need 10 pawniards caught each, now as long as no one breaks their chain by catching a different pokemon, we would all have, lets say a 5% increased pawniard spawn rate.

The numbers would be up to devs to decide based on what they think is best for the game, Im just using 10 pokemon caught and 5% boost as an example.
But the idea would be to encourage the MMO part of PokeMMO, getting people to socialize and form shiny hunting groups. It would also encourage single encounter shiny hunting which is probably the least used form of shiny hunting

This will break the economy

I was thinking of a similar feature.

But related to charms.

Currently, for a shiny charm, the group gains a 5% bonus regardless of the activity/location of other players in the group.

The idea would be to increase the charm bonus for each member of the group in the same area.

Example :

if player A and player B are in the same area, their bonus would increase to 7%.

But the bonus of the other 2 players separated from the group would still gain the base bonus of only 5%.

if player C joins them, the bonus would increase to 8% for these 3 players gathered in the same area.

if player D joins them, the bonus would increase to 9%.

Plus an additional 1% for having the entire group in the same area, bringing the bonus to 10%.

Each member would add 1% to the base bonus of the charm and the condition to get the additional bonus and increase its value would be to be in the same area as the other players in the group.
