How to find EASY Shiny Pokemon in Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl! | Pokeradar Tutorial

[@Lucariolink84]

Great guide. Another reason to stop trying to progress the chain at 39 is that you’re guaranteed 3 perfect IVs on the 40th Pokémon in the chain. Great way to get good iv shinies.

[@KingBatiatus]

Dang it, I was getting chains broken in the 60's. Can't believe all I had to do is walk around and keep resetting the radar.

[@jrs1productions730]

Just a tip for those hunting shinies. You don’t have to get to 39/40 chain, I personally try to get to 19 first then reset the radar until I get a shiny. Then from there go to 29 reset until shiny then 39 if I can make it and that’s where you get three perfect IV . Stopping at 19/29/39 will get you 2/3/4 perfect IVs. Also 19 is much easier to get to then 39. Just takes a bit more time using the radar. Buy lots of repels. This is faster and less frustrating then having ur chain break all the time

I haven't done this before at all, so I'm a bit confused 😅 could you explain the part about resetting? 😊

Is it bad that I started a chain of Togepi’s trying to get one with modest nature, and then I ended up getting a shiny Togepi before getting one with the desired nature? Fortunately after getting the shiny, I caught two modest nature Togepi’s.

[@Swollen_Goat]

As someone who has last 3 chains upon catching the 40th pokemon, I can agree that it isn't worth the risk. Odly enough all of my shinies from chaining have come from 20 chain or less. At this point I am not even caring about getting that high. I just chain till a shiny shows up.

[@attackontitanvanquish3651]

Just to update you, in the 1.1.2 patch, catching and killing the pokemon have the same chance EXCEPT when its 4 patches away. 1-3 are the same chances regardless.

[@potato4439]

Thanks

[@KingBatiatus]

I was just about to correct him about that but didn't realize that it was only on the new patch. I saw somewhere that it's something like this: Nearest: 53% 2nd Nearest: 63% 2nd Farthest: 73% Farthest: 83% (bonus 10% which brings it to 93% _if caught_ instead of faint)

[@superboydrew]

Hey so when he sais 4 tiles away does he mean 4 or more? theres a big difference between "4 tiles away" and "at least 4 tiles away" itt can be anything above 4 also right?

[@attackontitanvanquish3651]

@@superboydrew you want it to be exactly 4, because anymore then they doesn't make a difference. And as far as I'm aware, there won't be any more then 4 away. But you always want to pick the furtherest one away from you

[@connerblah]

Since chains can now be broken after the first encounter, it's advisable to enter 4-tile patches on the first encounter, especially in 1.1.2, since 1-, 2-, and 3-tile patches have had their odds reduced to 53%, 63%, and 73% if captured. Super annoying to finally find the 5% encounter and have the chain immediately ruined by not giving yourself the best chance to continue. Your odds of continuing that chain after the second shiny weren't great, especially if you were on 1.1.2. It was only a 3-tile patch, which meant only a 73%/83% (depending on version) to continue. I think it's worth it to wait for 4-tile shiny patches, given how time-consuming it is to get to 40 (only one out of 20 chains you start will actually make it there on average, even if you do everything right). 1/99 means you're hitting a shiny every 25ish resets, which should be less than 10 minutes.

[@SamiiSam128]

Actually the chances of it breaking even when doing everything right is 7 percent, not 5 by what I saw number wise online. If you go to the furthest patch and catch it, it's a 93% chance it'll continue. Which sucks cause that is a pretty high number (even tho it doesn't look like it)

[@connerblah]

@@SamiiSam128 It's closer to 5% than 7%. You can do the math yourself: 0.93^40 = 0.055 or 5.5%

[@unicornpower2411]

@@SamiiSam128 the 7% is the breaking chance but the 5% is the amount of chains that wont break before 40

[@pidgey3734]

1.1.3 reverted the change and added new things

[@SamiiSam128]

Wanted to add in, another good pokeball to use when chaining is repeat balls :) But it's entirely up to the person chaining of course

Do repeat balls have a better chance than quick balls

[@dirtsquids9854]

what you didn't mention is it's actually better to do it on a 39 chain because of 3 perfect IVs , unlike at 40+ until 50

[@SabianSH]

The IVs are currently bugged with the radar so I left it out to avoid confusion. Might have to touch on it in a later video

I started resetting my radar at chain 38, got desperate after 25+ resets so I went to 39, shiny patch after 8 resets, then at chain 40 got another shiny patch after only 3 resets. It broke afterwards but in the end I got 1 male and 1 female Shinx 💫✌️

just get to a chain of 13 and reset the radar. it takes < 20 seconds to reset, so you get approximately 12-16 encounters per minute with ~1/2,000 odds. this is faster than horde hunting in xy with the shiny charm.

But if i would reset the pokeradar in case the tiles dont have the required distance or i have reached a chain of 39 or 40, how do i know that the resetted patches contain my hunted pokemon?? In my case there are spawning other pokemon eventhough the chain wasn't broke after the last catching.. Did this maybe also got patched?

[@KingBatiatus]

I did this exact method and I can't believe life gets so much easier after the 40th chain! I literally just reset the radar + used a million repels and got *THREE shiny Mareep* on the 41st, 42nd and 43rd chain! This is all in the span of maybe 30 minutes. After the third shiny, I got so bored and sabotaged the chain by fainting the third nearest patch hahahaha (27% chance to break). P.S. The other guides are BS. They aren't clear that your 1/99 odds are fixed on the 40th chain and all you had to do is walk around and reset the PokeRadar. Until this video, I was running the number up on the chain count because I thought I _had_ to smh.

Great guide I’m gonna send the homies to this video when they ask me how to radar

[@jmdilley02]

I noticed that unlike some other people who made videos about this you failed to mention the reason you probably want to reset the radar at 39 is because once you encounter that 40th pokemon it will have 3 stats randomly have 31ivs and all other pokemon after 40 will not have that many perfect ivs unless you are really lucky and as far as I heard there's no set amount to get a pokemon with 4 perfect ivs but if you can get to 100 it should have at least 5 perfect ivs and no ideal if it is possible to get a pokemon with 6 perfect ivs from chaining! Also you didn't mention that you may want a pokemon with synchronize and the nature you want the pokemon your hunting to have as the lead pokemon to increase the chances that the pokemon you encounter have the same nature as your synchronize pokemon!

[@bradleygregory1270]

If you make sure your shiny patch is four patches away you have more chance of your chain carrying on
