What are the benefits of shiny bait beyond an increased chance to catch shiny Pokemon? Is it like what I heard about super honey (the only way to find shiny Celebi is to use super honey) and there are shinies that are exclusive to using shiny bait or are there no other benefits? The reason I'm asking this is that I'm thinking of using Mudkip, Totodile, and Squirtle for rare candies instead of shiny bait. I've caught about four shiny Pokemon with no shiny bait (and some even with no bait at all), and zero shiny Pokemon with shiny bait so far. It seems more useful to me right now to get rare candies so I can actually complete Rowan's quest to beat Oak.

Pretty sure there's no additional benefit, aside from the increase of shinyness. I doubt that there are shiny bait-exclusive shinies.
