PokéRadar Chaining for Easy Shinies! - Shiny Hunting Guide - Pokemon X and Y

[@justinhamilton8647]

Had a chain of 40 on Zoroark. It randomly broke for no reason. I groaned in absolute pain. Repel wore off. I went to leave. Encounter starts. I chuckle, like the game is kicking me while I am down. Shiny Zoroark appears. Caught it in the master ball.

[@dicedmeat7857]

it actually fits a shiny Zoroark

[@Ekatkid]

I do not have a sexual relationship with that pokemon , zoroark.

[@cedevita7069]

Bill Clinton It probably broke if you restarted the radar on the edge

[@noahlarson2737]

Lol found a Shiny Zoroark on my first chain of 13 today :)

[@zeroderorero3948]

Bill Clinton 39... yesterday i started a skiddo chain to get a shiny and then i see it... a perfect patch of grass: 4 steps away, it shakes a lot and loud, in the middle of the grass, no patches close to it.. i approach, engage battle... a wild pancham appears... while in kalos you cab hear the scream of a broken man in the distance...

[@rodtysonjr]

Started playing X&Y again in preparation for Legends ZA. I had no idea that T-Tar has been PokéTubing this long!

[@v-Lex-v]

Damn, Ttar's voice sure changed over the years.

[@fredshort8099]

i got a chain of 36 with poliwhirl in platinum then lost the chain to a magikarp.

[@hayleeh18]

Did you ever get your shiny though?

[@TheBoyFromOceanBay]

Excellent guide! Clearly explained and well put together. I hope that I can use these tips to find a shiny swirlix! *thumbs up*

[@QuintetMagician]

I had to restart after my chain broke several times, BUT eventually on one chain I got a shiny gothorita on my third encounter!!!

[@Nickie-os7od]

Do u still hunt

[@moondine3563]

For everyone struggling to use this method, you will not master this in one attempt. Keep trying, and sooner than later, you'll be a master in no time. Don't lose confidence!

[@TheAsianDerp]

Chaining is a bitch. I know that feeling lol

[@dougfine4013]

my highest chain? 4. I'm giving up, for now

[@TheAsianDerp]

Doug Fine My highest fishing chain is 23, Pokeradar chain is like seven and breeding chain (when I tried for charmander) is like six pokemon boxes and four in a seventh box. chaining sucks so much, but it at least raises the chance of getting a shiny.

[@TheAsianDerp]

***** Oh man that sucks :C

[@theepicgamer4238]

Mine is 12 ;-;

[@jellyspl7277]

just a few days ago I chained and caught a pokeradar shiny croagunk, Im so happy!!

[@connerevans4689]

Now if you're getting really good at it, try the first skewed bush formation on the right when you enter Route 14. It's really difficult, heck, I haven't even seen shiny grass in that patch, but shiny Accelgor is totally worth it.

[@izayoikaiser2047]

You're not going to believe this shit. I was chaining for Minum. I chained successfully on my second try (it's not too hard) and got the shiny patch to appear 40 minutes later, but it was another patch vertically under it. I accidentally went to it because it was hard to see which was which. Bunnelby. I will forever hate Bunnelby. Diggersby is cool, but fuck Bunnelby. Anyway, later that night I went to the Friend Safari. Found a shiny Terriursa as soon as I got to the grass. The next day, I got a shiny Fraxure the exact same way.

[@FruitLoopPortal]

I got a shiny Dedenne.

[@josephmongiovi4673]

Very Helpful, Thanks. I Chained A Shiny Ditto, A Shiny Vulpix, And A Shiny Pikachu.

[@Dragonsnake40]

It took me a couple of weeks after I decided to do it but I finally got a shiny female combee.

[@TheSWsmith]

Thank you for explaining this in 5 min. Everyone else is so long winded.

[@wyvernpop1784]

I tried this with a random patch in route 7 and found a shiny Volbeat on the 6th encounter! Can't wait to try for another one :D

[@jgmgameing2632]

Yo past T-tar is helping me in 2020

[@rudolphramirez9770]

Shiny Illumise at chain 40 with 2 IVs Shiny Flabebe (Blue) at chain 40 with 3 IVs those are my successful hunts with pokeradar.

[@mikegoncap]

You know, I never EVER had EVER gotten a shiny Pokémon but since I finally found a good video that explains to me well on how to get shinies maybe there's actually a 50 50 chance of getting a shiny for me.Hopefully......

[@mr_stacks26]

Have you got your first shiny yet

[@DishyLemon]

Did you get one?

[@PoisonWoah]

got a shiny croagunk in a chain of 3 :D

[@yoshipower457]

[@taijutsugal]

[@august5447]

1st chain = Shiny Zoroark

[@taijutsugal]

the luckkkk

[@briguy69069]

Got a shiny croagunk after about 41 or 42 chains. Never got a chain that long, but I focused hardcore for thirty minutes and got one. When I saw the shiny patch I was like: 0_0 (*)**_(_*_) +_+ So I walked over to it and I was smiling, probably could have eaten my face, and then I found it, and I was freaking happy, and now I gotta go find another for myself because I get one for trading and one for me. I used a Mewtwo and Greninja for most of the time, but it was risky considering croagunks can have dry skin, so I eventually put Mewtwo out permanently. I used about 200 Max repels, only went through 10 bottles though, so that was promising. Also, 2 IV shiny croagunk! Haven't been to Kiloude city to clarify, but I'll do that tomorrow.

[@adducttape]

You cant use rollerskates either! Like this so everyone can see

[@VicenteGiordano]

Thanks man, found my shiny Spinda today thanks to you in a matter of like 2 hours? I might have gotten a second one before my chain broke but I wasn't too sure if it was a shiny patch and it was on the edge. Still got one though. Good luck hunting everyone.

[@tylero1474]

[@lexxpap4027]

Worked for me! Caught two shinies using this method (Bunnelby and Caterpie)

[@Cakegolem]

I can't remember exactly how high the chain was (somewhere around 30+), but I did manage to get a shiny Litleo once. ONCE. Grass chaining is frustratingly difficult. I've had way more success with encountering shiny Pokemon in Friend Safaris and chain fishing.

[@wesleyamaro6514]

Mee too :\

[@jorgezaldivar3113]

After so many broken chains, right after I begun a chain, I caught a Shiny Slowpoke! Talk about luck!

[@darklucariodrago3520]

I found a shiny Croagunk and fletchling :D

[@sarahstormo1721]

Thanks, man. I followed your steps and after over 5 hours, I caught a shiny Electrike. :)

[@squid9259]

All of the grass look the same :I

[@shlomobraverman9438]

Look for the ones that shake higher and faster and sound like they have high speed shaking. Using headphones is good for this

[@shinyhunteralec]

Thank you for being short and sweet about this

[@insomniiart6371]

Anyone here playing pokemon x in 2020

[@TMW001]

Gotta say this was an excellent video wish people described the concepts of the bush as well as you did I'm going to attempt my Absol again because of this. Also so far my shinies include Lucario-female, Luxray-female,Lopunny-female,Furofo-female,Gardevoir-female,Gallede,Pyroar-female,Weavel-female,Pacharisu-female.

[@MrFreeVs]

This vid was very well done !! U earned a subscriber :)

[@Majora_T]

a heads up for those trying to synchronize a certain nature onto the pokemon, the first party member needs to be a higher level than wild pokemon or the repel won't work

[@bjarnetenbolscher8849]

Second patch of grass shiny hell yeah

[@fiercedeity3957]

There's no problem going to a patch that is shaking next to other, BUT when this happens it may be kind of difficult to see the shakiest patch.

[@44burn1]

i finally get this method

[@izzy1356]

I found out that the more steps you take, the greater chance of finding your pokemon, so I usually try to do about 2 runs (up-down/left-right) before going to the patch. ^^

[@Coolmanone]

I found a shiny buy breaking those rules... is that luck?

[@Scaider_]

Me too

[@rezehelius]

I used the method and after so many fails I finally got hang of it. But from what I heard it's supposed to change into an upbeat rhythm if you're close to shiny. Mine haven't and I haven't seen the shiny grass either. Anyway, worked, it took me about 20-25 minutes and my first shiny is Gothorita 😀. Now time for Ditto 😎

[@ocajiburnes6148]

[@TheInfinityMaster1]

So far, I randomly encountered 5 shinnies without chaining or anything. xD

Omg I'm watching this in 2016 and his voice is deeper than this. DAYUM puberty hit hard

[@alexcameron2880]

You can step into the correct shaking grass on any square except the edge. So if it appears next to you, and it's the correct grass, you can enter it.

[@DanMan5000]

No you can't

[@vWraithh]

Shiny absolute in 28 times

[@kaidar12]

I have yet to chain a shiny, but I've caught many a shiny in the wild otherwise. I never get 'em when I look, though. My crowning achievement was probably shiny Rayquaza in Emerald.

[@KiroShiro0]

I suck at finding shinies.. I've used everything.

[@marcusarndt1495]

same

[@KiroShiro0]

Marcus Arndt Finally got a shiny horsea after chain fishing :D Chain fishing is the easiest way I would use that.

[@swixx639]

It is one of the easiest, I think the easiest is running around in the safari zone until you see that sparkle.

[@naterbater8541]

James Testa I chain fish but I think that my game hates me because sometimes I see the movements and press A right away it says I reeled it in to slow. Any ways to fix this or do I just have to live with it?

[@swixx639]

Nah, just live with it, its just reflexes. Human error. Happens to me all the time, just try to not do it. ;)

[@Micoryourboss]

shiny teddiursa in Soul Silver plus a shiny umbreon, Jigglypuff, Dewgong, Chinchou(chain fishing) and Remoraid (chain fishing) in pokemon X

[@Cazadorius]

it wont work it say moms words

+TyranitarTube what is the d pad?????

[@SlushyAJ]

I have a few questions ouo - If you didn't see all the patches well, can you use the PokeRadar again, or will that break the chain? - Does a shiny charm increase the chances of getting a sparkling patch?

[@forestspirits5422]

I had no idea you played pokemon! I love your AJ videos!

[@moved8726]

WOAH! You play Pokèmon?

[@austinlayton9438]

I did this tactic... chained for a shiny Ditto... on the 35th encounter, it wasn't a Ditto... IT WAS A F*CKING JIGGLYPUFF!!!!!!!😩😩👎🏼

[@WafflePines]

I'm working on trying to get a shiny Pancham or Bunnelby. I have caught a shiny Scyther before, and I wasn't even using Poke Radar which confused me. I was only just training my Pokemon with wild Pokemon. Thanks for the tips!

[@jessicamitchell7257]

Hes not lucky. Thousands of other people find shinies too.

[@stotab8700]

this is so annoying and u make it sound easy. Every time i try this, after beating the first patch of grass, THE NEXT SET OF PATCHES OF GRASS BREAK ONE OF THE THREE RULES! And when the first patch doesn't contain the pokemon you want, YOU HAVE TO WALK 50 STEPS UNTIL YOU CAN USE THE RADAR AGAIN! Only to find out that the next patch you walk in is JUST ANOTHER STUPID SCATTERBUG! ONE FLETCHLING! PLEASE! PLEASE! "No. Another scatterbug is what this trainer wants" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[@rosec3999]

Well, try going 42 whole pokemon and not a single shiny, following every rule.

[@stotab8700]

42? thats literally not possible. The limit is 40. Plus, it takes MAD luck. Chaining just raises your chances a *little* Try being a fan since 2005 playing the games practically nonstop until 2010 and NEVER EVEN SEEING A SHINY BESIDES THAT DUMBASS GYARADOS

[@rosec3999]

Crotoman111 well, as sad as this may sound, my very first MEMORY OF MY LIFE was of playing polemic fire red. I have been a fan since 2005. But, try seeing a Friggin shiny in the SAFARI ZONE, where they can run away. It was the biggest danm troll ive seen EVER.

[@stotab8700]

Rose C i am so sorry for your loss. What pokemon was it? (RIP)

[@rosec3999]

A murkrow.

[@madiovas]

I really have massive issues seeing the difference between normal and fast shaking patches xD

[@eve7568]

wayyyyy to complicated lol.

[@Tofuey]

Actually its really simple

[@OutlaweMC]

oh my god your profile picture hit me hard, I remember that book

[@thedragonemperorryuga3892]

Outlawe me too

[@Samookely]

Its not that hard if u practice a bit

[@razrv3lc]

I got a shiny Sealeo in Shoal Cave in Alpha Sapphire randomly. I wasn't looking for pokemon at all and just came across it. Then I wanted others and since then I've found a shiny Wurmple, a shiny Ariados, and a few minutes ago got a shiny Zubat. Sweet scent with horde battles seems to be, by far, the quickest way to hunt for shiny pokemon. It's just limited because you can only get certain pokemon in horde battles.

[@d-m-n]

I got a shiny feebas randomly, just wanted to get a normal one for my play through. accidentally fainted the first two that I found, third one was a shiny.

[@ezequielbazan9667]

I got a shiny this is to easy I got a shiny in one hour

[@HikasarouTenshowTeamDaiGurren]

I still have to watch this video to memorize patches encounters and edges

[@Canadubstep]

For anyone having trouble, I wouldn't start in the pokemon village. A lot of the shaking patches are spread out and it's hard to keep track of them all.

[@bloodhunter1]

I just started chaining 2hours ago trying to get a 3 perfect iv ditto no luck there but I did catch my first shinny ditto!! Got really lucky found him on my 7th encountered :). It seems hard but it's actually very easy.

[@TheGreatZekrom]

I remember trying to get a shiny Zangoose. After like only 4 or 5 chains I found a shiny Zangoose

[@thedragonemperorryuga3892]

[@trentorange1723]

Don't ever be scared of doing this method of shiny hunting, whenever you watch someone do it on a video, the grass patches look the same when they shake, I have fun doing this method and its A LOT EASIER then I ever expected out of the hardest shiny hunting method, its always fun to give it a try and you'll be addicted.

[@Moon-Fang]

I've never gotten to a successful 40 chain, but I have gotten Doduo, and Gothorita by radar chaining (I got Doduo on a five chain! That's nuts!)(My highest chain was 39. Ditto! So close to that shiny!)

[@Bubblesnufferz]

Great video! I finally get it now.

[@joshs2000]

When I had no idea how to Poke radar chain, I went to Pokémon Village. I used the Poke radar, and the first Pokémon was a Shiny Ditto.

[@ladynikkie]

you also have to walk moving with your rollerskates in the grass will break the chain too

[@Xgil2Play]

Now that Pokebank is out, I'm going to show off my Shiny Darmanitan :P I got that shiny in Pokemon Black. I change the time of my 3DS to be Winter, then I got a RageCandyBar, woke one of the stones Darmanitan and came straight shiny. I was the last one of my group of friends to get the game, yet the first to get a shiny. Good times :D

[@iknowitalljacob2396]

Only use D-Pad to move too you forgot to mention ttartube!!!

[@shinicoun1630]

Good tuto, but you can go into grass that shakes next each other if they're shaking in a different way. My higgest success is 423 ditto.

[@lukelynn4258]

[@unrevoked7137]

found a back to back shiny scatterbug. One in a shiny patch, the other in not a patch. No patch shaking there, and my scatterbug was lower level. It went through the repel and was shiny. Full odds?

[@UltimateMustacheX]

I haven't chained once yet, but I've already found two shinies and got a third through wonder trade.

[@Yunghamster12]

thank you 12 yr old TyranitarTube

[@Windmelodie]

I managed to find a shiny Golett.......after entering my first shaking patch, so I didn't even really start a chain... Also, that patch was basically the opposite of what you told us to do xD I guess I just got really lucky, especially since I can't get a chain of more than 7, even if I follow your rules and tips. I'll probably just stick with masuda's method and friend safari (got 4 shinies in friend safari and 2 through masuda's breeding method)

[@tomstocks4430]

I found a shiny Shuppet in friend safari after 8 encounters. And also this method worked well for me!!!!! I went to Pokemon village and after about 3 minutes of encounters I found a shiny Zoroak! I wasn't even in a shining path of grass!!!!!!

[@Saphine114]

So I was attempting to chain in the Azure Bay secret area, and I decided to go with Slowpoke. I run over to a patch-this was the second patch I visited. And it was a chatot. What took my breath away was that it was SHINY! It was funny because it had broken my chain, but this was my first legit wild shiny. Not if you count a Magnemite I found in the safari zone in HG. It ran away.

[@Deeayen]

You found a shiny Chatot, lucky you. I'm trying to masuda one and I'm at about 330 eggs

[@Saphine114]

Three days later I found a shiny Zangoose in a horde, and on the same day a Basculin. I caught the Zangoose, but the Basculin used Final Gambit. :/ The good thing about breeding though is that your Chatot can get Boomburst, and the right nature/etc. Luckily mine was one of the neutral natures...

[@Deeayen]

LadySaphine Yeah, currently at 420 eggs and still nothing although they are all timid natured with Nasty plot and boomburst

[@T1_Tilapia]

Man,i got a shiny Gogoat(forgot it's pre-evolution) in 40 chains,but i prefer masuda method,please do a video expaining it!

[@jdrevilla3659]

I randomly found a shiny Zubat while grinding for the Pokemon league in Sapphire.... 2 weeks after finding a shiny Wingull in Y via horde(trying to get Zangoose)

[@Michael-sz4vj]

i got a shiny mawile and my chain was 43 ty this helped :)

[@brokencanadian8310]

Only Shiny I got in this game was a Solosis from Glimmering Cave randomly. I was doing the main story and came across it. Wasn’t watching but I heard the shiny charm and caught it. Sadly after a chaining high of 105, I have had no luck with anything.

[@OvisLeo]

Through pokeradar chaining I've gotten doduo, plusle, skiddo, bunnelby, and flabebe.

[@nullios]

Once in Pokemon Platinum (It was my first pokemon game) I was playing around with the radar in the route between the first town you go to and the first city you go to I wasn't really paying attention nor did I understand the meaning of it, so I used it as a grinding tool for my Pokemon for easy leveling up I had my volume down as I was playing and then I went against a Roselia a shiny Roselia Like I said, I wasn't paying attention nor did I care and I killed it The end
