I have encountered it 588 times (counting the times I broke the chain due to scaring it off, but I keep building it back up), but still no shiny. I want it to be at least male, and be at a good level and have some good stats and moves, plus the hidden ability "Toxic Boost". I seriously want that wish to come true, but no. I always mess everything up by scaring my chances away. I have been at this for days now, and it still didn't happen.

Have the odds increased or decreased due to the number of times I have encountered? Or are they still the same and I'm under torture for the next few days?

 
"The exact odds of finding a shiny Pokemon are 1 in 8192." (https://www.ign.com/wikis/pokemon-omega-ruby-alpha-sapphire/Shiny_Pokemon) I think your odds of finding one have increased though. All you can do is keep trying.

EDIT: There is also a shiny charm that helps increase your chances of finding a shiny in the wild. "In Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the player can receive the Shiny Charm from Professor Birch after obtaining all Pokemon in the National Pokedex, with the exception of event Pokemon."

Now I'm close to 600 encounters and still nothing. And yeeeeah, Prof. Birch better hang on for a few years, cuz I can't get ALL 720 Pokemon unless someone had them all and asked me if I wanted to trade all of their Pokemon to fill up my National Pokedex from to me and back to the OT.

Yeah it's a lot to do just to get that charm. :p I hope you find a shiny soon! ^_^

 
The odd of shinys have been increased in gen 6 (X and Y)(OR and AS) from 1-8192 to 1-4046!!! thats half!! so goodluck mate!! have you tried the the (hording method)??

 
I haven't tried encountering a horde of Zangoose.
I wouldn't recommend trying to find a Shiny Zangoose through hordes because when Zangoose shows up in a horde, it shows up with 4 Serviper. The Serviper get rid of the Zangoose before you can get rid of all the Serviper. (At least that's how it happens in Y, it may be different in OR though so maybe it would be worth a try.)
