An increase to .5% is an enormous increase. The chances of encountering a shiny normally are 1 in 8,192 or .0122%. If your .5% comment is true, then you are 41 times more likely to encounter a shiny through chaining than through random means.

I've only ever seen the Red Gyarados. Never seen any others.

I have seen a shiny giratina(soft resetted) and a shiny staravia(random encounter RIGHT after the shiny giratina encounter) both on my first platinum, that is now chewed up.

One time in my pokemon crystal I was looking for the three legendary cats(I call them cats so stfu) and I
encountered a shiny Drowzee that is now a level 100 Hypno. Waay before that on the same file I got out of Ilex forest and got the egg from the couple and it hatched into a shiny pichu, which is now a level 64(EV trained) Pikachu named Sparky. Something that doesn't count I breeded my Shiny Gyarados with ditto to get a shitload of golden Magikarps.
