I've been doing this for 2 days. the best chain I have is 20. the vast majority break before 10. They bungled the pokeradar in this game. it used to be a 2% chance of a random break and now it's 7%, which is huge when you have to reroll that number 40 times.

@FancyTeapot2 жыл бұрын
Pro tip: don’t register any other key items. Just register the radar. No chance of activating the wrong item and breaking your chain, and it takes less time/user input to reuse the radar after 50 steps. Also, a chain of 39 has 1/200 or 0.5% chance of getting a shiny patch. Chain of 40 has 1/99 or 1.01% chance of a shiny patch. It’s only an increase of .5% to find a shiny, for another 7% chance of breaking your chain. Stay on 39 to find that shiny patch. Plus your shiny on the 40th catch will have 3 guaranteed perfect IVs.

The underground is good for just finding random shinies. You can get the 40 diglett easily by putting your base at an intersection where they appear then enter/exit the base and gather them as they spawn. Also your meter fills up a lot faster online than if you're offline. Then while it's active, you go into a biome and check all spawns for shinies. Shininess is determined when you enter the biome so all you need to do is check each one for shininess and then exit the biome and repeat. I've found I can get two runs through a small biome in 4 minutes--keep in mind, all you have to do is enter, so if you get into the biome the second time before the timer runs out, you'll be able to check a full second round of them which is what tends to happen for small and large biomes. The odds aren't amazing (still 1/2048 which is large) BUT you have to consider that each small biome tends to have 5-7 pokemon so that turns it into a 5:2048, 6:2048, or 7:2048 chance. That's 1/410, 1/341, and 1/293 respectively. The only catch is that you don't get to choose what is shiny at that point. Then with the larger biomes, since there are more pokemon (7-10 spawns total), there's an even bigger chance that one of them will be a shiny. 7:2048, 8:2048, 9:2048, or 10:2048 puts you at 1/410, 1/256, 1/228, and then 1/205. Those odds in the large biomes are very workable. But it comes back to the fact that you're not getting to choose what will be shiny like you would with the pokeradar. This makes the underground hunting method more "just for fun" rather than usable if you're looking for something specific. If you're looking for something specific, you're going to be looking at the full 1/2048 odds.

Hey, I can confirm you can get a full odds shiny doing this. I was trying to complete my national dex and on route 230 I used my pokeradar with a 0 catch combo and get a shiny weepinbell!

The fact that you can do everything perfectly and the chain just stops is dumb. It’d make more sense if they had a random Pokémon show up to break the chain but to end it out of no where even when doing it perfectly seems cruel

I have a question, why dont you save between chains? Like you save as chain 5, and then at 10, so you dont lose the chain?

I got past 30 and got so scared, it kept going and I got to thirty nine and just wouldn’t give me a shiny for several resets, I ran out of repels and got three shiny ralts, one for gardevoir, one for gallade, and one for trade. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS GUIDE!!!

So if you're lucky enough to reach a chain of 39, do you just keep running the 50 steps and redoing the pokeradar until you see the shiny patch?
@Wtfsmyusername2 жыл бұрын
That's what I was wondering as well, I would assume that's the most efficient method. As long as there's no risk of breaking the chain by resetting the radar or something like that

Got to 33, and then, all the sudden, for no reason, the patches were gone :( lol, once I hit 30 I had a feeling something was gonna go wrong.

I’m glad I saw this on video. If I tried the pokeradar for the first time after visiting a website I may have canceled the chain on my 40th encounter without knowing that I can just reapply the pokeradar. The mix of super repels and reapplying the pokeradar makes this MUCH easier than I thought it would be initially, which was about as hard to deal with as my Mesprit in a Luxury Ball fiasco

Thank you for this in-depth explanation video, Austin! Did anybody else notice the "Medusa"? Nobody? Really? Was that deliberate or an accident? You pronounced it correctly, so I was confused XD ...found another interesting word (Pepeat)... this really wasn't your day, was it XD Stay awesome and much love :3

After I started this method I started catching shinies like crazy! It really does work! Took some time but I was able to catch 7 shiny Eevees in one trip to the trophy garden! I almost made it to 100 with Ponytas, but the chain broke at 89!!! Nothing is more crushing than breaking a chain that high!

not sure whoever sees this or if everyone already knows, or if its already been patched by the time you see this: there is a glitch with the pokeradar patches, not sure if its only swarm patches but thats when i had this issue. my theory is that when you enter a battle while swarm pokemon are popped up on your screen, they get stuck and are considered a solid block. and every time you go into a new battle it changes positions. i had gotten a shiny patch for the doduo swarm, but it wouldnt let me walk through it. my fix: press the X button, and go into the menu. then press X again to exit the menu. with swarm pokemon, it would let me see them all again, and when walking up to them they despawn, allowing you to walk in that patch again. hopefully this helped!!!!

I just started playing a week ago. I beat 2 gyms, was only wondering around, went into the Lost Tower, went all the way up, then all the way down & on the bottom of last flight of stairs I got a shiny Gastly. I was shocked! 😮 Few of my friends beat the game & don’t have any.

The pokeradar is not locked behind post game, you can get it once you complete the sinnoh pokedex. If I remember right one of the game makers gives it you in the hotel.

Yeah, previous game was very specific where you could go. Sometimes you'd go to an ideal patch, following the rules, and the chain would still randomly end. I do appreciate that the grass keeps moving. Can't wait to start using the poke radar again.

One thing to note is that you must not encounter a Shiny Pokemon in the Great Marsh. EVER! I learned that the hard way when I encountered a shiny Wooper in my original Pearl version for my Nintendo DS, it's my most painful memory of the Generation 4 series... 😭
