Shiny Wild card, your math is wrong. .001*5(pokemon x wave)*30(waves x round)= .15. 1/(.15) is roughly 7, so playing 7 full levels from start to finish, statistically you will find at least one shiny.

If you want to do the pidgey's rate, then .001*2.5(avg # of pidgey's per wave)*30(waves per level)=0.075, so 1/(0.075) is 13 levels.

What do they teach you in college these days? 13 levels != 4000 levels...
