Sooo...
I've exceeded <Current Year> number of encounters (2115 st to be precise) and still no shiny...
I looked it up, and you can find Venipede at a later location. One which have dark grass in it, which has a chance of giving you two pokemon encounters at the same time. So I've made the executive decision to put the shinyhunt on hold for awhile and continue with the game.
