Thank you for your tips! My highest chain was about 18 once before and i never got it that high again. Now with your tips,I've gotten a chain up to 14!
I've also been using the Masuda Method with my Ditto and my Japanese Magnezone for a shiny Magnemite, which hasn't worked either. At any rate, catching shinies in D/P/Pt is easier than in HG/SS because of the Poke Radar.
belive it or not i was chaing for bidoof coz i though it would be easy insipierd by u bye the way so anyway bidof breaks so i start nindoran m 201 and i get a shiny onmy first try no brokin chains still cant even chain swarming pokemon now trying for phanpy but kepps breaking on 36 ...11 times it broke on 36
guys serously dont trade a god damn uber for a shiny it dont make any sense at all apply your self and you will get so dont be so damn lazy and try to get one
Any way you could upload a shiny Nidoran onto GTS? I've got some good non-cheated for legendaries I'd be willing to trade for. I've been trying forever to get one, and all I find are female Nidorans, Starlys, and Bidoofs. It's driving me nuts, and I've read all the guides, so I know what to do. If I could just find a male Nidoran I probably wouldn't be asking this, but could you consider that?
Chaining means you have to use pokeradar. And only kill 1 kind of pokemon. For example Roselia,you must keep killing roselia but if you face any other pokemon, your chain is ruined>:(
I have 20chain max only and got ruined by a effing taurus,while i was chaining for ponyta
Chaining is also a way on finding shiny pokemons rather than encountering them by normal play.Also "Masuda Breeding" is the easiest among the 3 ways,but still you need pokemon of other language in order to breed.
I got two shinies the old fashioned way in LG and Ruby. Leaf green I was running endlessly in grass patches until I found a shiny Sandshrew (Now level 100 Sandslash). The other happened after I accidentally turned Ruby on and walked a bit, and right before I hit the power switch... BAM! Shiny Golbat appeared! Now its a level 55 Crobat. I'm so proud of those two, I didn't need a gimmick or anything. (P.S. Ive tried chaining, I get to really high numbers, but no shinies :( )
then do you have any other shinies(extra),I only need the ones from the kanto version or the shinnoh region,and if you have a spare shiny feebas(any level/nature),i'll be willing to trade it for a shiny charizard i got from gts along with a custap berry
thanks for that but i cant even reach 30 chain,when the on the 29 time,trying 2 get a nidoran,a stupid,idiotic as many negative words as i can use on that useless bidoof cut my chain not once but 5 times,and i got a hard time finding another nidoran(guy)any tips to stop the chain from breaking???
No not really, other than to just keep on following the basic rules of chaining. Even though, you did nothing wrong and picked the best patch, your chain can still randomly break. It's just part of the game. My beginner's guide to chaining is written on my channel profile, check it out you might find something useful.
hey z33 its louis hope u remember me we talked on a few occasions before nd u gave me some advice. i got 5 nidoran (M)s aswell yesterday breaking my recoRd chain of 65 reaching 75:D i eventually ran out of repels but i have no regrets, i got what i wanted out of the chain. im training up my strongest/ best natured, one now :D
Hi Louis. Yeah I remember you. Looks like you a master chainer now too. Great job in finding all of those shiny pokemon and reaching chain 75. Thanks for letting me know. It's always nice to hear that people have benefited from the advice that I've given them. Good luck on all of your future chains.
When you reach chain 40, it doesn't guarantee you a shiny pokemon. Most of the time, a shiny patch doesn't automatically appear. You still have to reset the radar over and over again until the shiny patch appears. All you are doing by reaching 40 is increasing your odds of finding a shiny pokemon, around 1 in 200.
i'm really sorry to interupt but how do you get a shiny pokemon.. i've been playing diamond for ages but i've never come across one.. am i doing something wrong??
You can find shiny pokemon thru random encounters in the wild, hatching and doing soft resets in front of a legendary. When using the methods above, the odds of finding one is 1 in 8192. So, you aren't doing anything wrong. But the more you hunt, hatch and do soft reset, your odds will improve and you will eventually find a shiny pokemon. By chaining, you can improve the odds to 1 in 200.
Check out my beginner's guide to chaining. Just click on Z33 and you can read it on my channel profile.
On you don't need a gba game, just the pokeradar. I'm Filipino and moved to the U.S., where I currently live. Are you from Luzon, Visayas or Mindanao?
you've been so good for having so much shiny pokemon using the pokeradar, why do i only have 8???? and why my shiny larvitar appeared on chain 11???? why can't i get a shiny rhyhorn ar shiny rhydon using the pokeradar???? it's been a week!!!! can you give me some tips that you used to get lots of shiny pokemon by using the pokeradar??????
thank you very much, you've help me sooo much...^_______^ thank u!!!!!
While chaining, you can actually encounter a shiny patch right after a chain of 1. It depends on how lucky you are during that chain. Have I sent you something on how to chain?
oh yeah i forgot....how did you manage to see a nidoran male on DIAMOND VERSION???? i mean i've wasted a day to find one in diamond version but i didn't manage to see one....
yay!!!! i managed to see a nidoran male....but it broke at chain 3....now i'm searching for miltank....oh yeah...when i got to level 40....should i stop chaining and look for shiny??? for example....you found a shiny at level 40 then on level 41...can you still find a shiny??? and last question...if i found a shiny patch...let say at chain 40...if i let it go, will it come back if i search for it???
Question 1 Yes. Question 2 Yes. Question 3 Yes but if you've already use 40-60 max repels searching for the one you let go, you might have to advance the chain to 41 and start resetting the radar again.
waaaaaa......i let go of one of a shiny patch....just 4 experiment...and it didn't return.....i ended up at chain 60 with nothing...why is it like dat???
Well, it depends on your luck. The shiny patch would have probably come back again if you kept searching for it on the same chain by resetting the radar or if you only advanced the chain once and started resetting the radar after you let it go. Let's say that you started at 40 and advanced your chain all the way to 60, you are only giving yourself 20 chances to find a shiny. By resetting the radar over and over again at 40 or 41, after you let the shiny patch go, you give yourself more chances.
this was my first shiny :3
