Another important note, if you got bad grass patch placement, and want to use the pokeradar again you HAVE to make sure that at least one of the grass patches that shook stay on screen. Otherwise your chain will break when it goes off screen.
It's my very first time shiny hunting in platinum because I never shiny hunt before. And guess what, I catched 2 shiny shinx yesterday in a chain of 44&45!!! Thank you so much, your video is so informative that a beginner in shiny hunting like me understand it very fast
Thank you very much. After 5 hours I finally got the shiny Ralts I wanted. Am so happy!!! I wasn't sure if I had the patience to sit there using the poke radar but it paided off.
Often come back to this video as the biggest helper to getting me started with radar chains. We've gone from just Sentret all the way to Beldum. Very much appreciative of this guide.
I wish I knew all these rules when I was hunting as a kid. I remember I spent so much time hunting ditto and got as high as a 42 chain once, but I didn’t know that you can just keep resetting once you hit 40 and I never got that shiny 😭 this video will definitely be useful when I redo the hunt, thank you!
Shiny hunters be like "I've only been at it for three hours, I've just been super lucky :))" For real though, I hope this works the same way in BDSP. Super exited 🤞
Let me know if I missed anything by replying to this comment!!! Also to anyone still checking out this video consider checking out my new Channel called "yugz" i live stream and post my new videos there!
@@RavenVBranwen I sure can try, it will take some time to actually obtain the radar and I think it might be more or less the same just that the patches shake indefinitely instead of stopping but we shall see when it comes out. Thanks for the comment! :3
You dont need to fill the national dex you need to fill the sinnoh dex and unlock the national dex. Getting the national dex also does not require the elite 4
In terms of distance away from the shaking grass. Theres an actual order they take, one shaky grass will exist in one of 4 layers of grass around the character. Imagine a bullseye or a target. One grass per layer and the % for continuing the chain goes 28%, 48%, 68%, 88% and these go up by 10% if you catch instead of faint
I am so relieved I watched this, I had no idea that catching the pokemon increased the chances of it reappearing, I pretty much never caught the pokemon during chains. But I also thought you only needed a chain of 30 odd ^^;
Thank you for the tutorial. Have never done a poké radar shiny hunt before and wanted to give it a try in Platinum. Got my first shiny Mareep just now!
I’m just getting back into handheld Pokémon games! This was confusing a little bit with the radar thing! I was very young when I played these, young enough to not really have any sense of direction in the game. Pretty much just used to walk in grass as playing Pokémon lol I’ll keep watching until I get it fully! Great video man!
Welp, I guess we're gonna go grab a shiny Sentret in the future Edit - completed three chains so far. Two for Sentret, one for Eevee. Very helpful guide for getting started.
Thanks so much. This video was very helpful and helped me (almost) get my first gen 4 pokeradar shiny. I thought a non-shiny patch was a shiny patch. My own dumb fault
This video is everything I wanted to know about this method..even the chain breaking for no reason part since that happened to me at a chain of 21 lol I will get that shiny Shinx soon! Nice video brother.
Awesome! Can't wait to start hunting for buneary. Was thinking of using the CSS method in Eterna Forest, but this is so much better and I could advance the story so yup, imma go with this one 😁
Thank you ! Im having fun with platinum on ios so I figured I might as well start collecting. Im sure this will take a lot of time but nevertheless rewarding.
Messed up my chain by running into grass that I thought had sparkles. 😂 It disappears soooo fast! Like, give my eyes time to adjust and blink lol. I was at 20 but halfway there! As a kid, I could never figure this out and here I am as an adult doing it just to say “I did it!” 😂 Going for Dunsparce right now in Pearl, Diamond will be Spinda and Platinum will be Teddiursa. 💪🏻
If it's the regional Pokedex with like 210 or 211 you just need to see them and after you beat the elite 4 you get all but two and one is in the haunted house to where between like 3 and 7 am I think you go to the second floor with the TV interact with it and the last one is you go to the mansion on route 212 and the first door on the right has the old guy and one in his 30's ish there is a book behind them then interact with it that will give you the last entry but for the 400 something national dex that one is a lot harder cause some only show up on specific days and you got to talk to dawns little sister in sandgem town it'll be the house right under the pokecenter
this reminds of when i caught a shiny voltorb by chance in oras. i was just in that new mauville event thing and it just happened upon my radar. i got pics i can show on discord!
I wanted to do a shiny quest in pearl because of the radar and decided to try just send all sinnoh pokemon over from my hg save to see if i could get the radar early and ye you can get it and the app as soon as you have surf so like 5 badges
so instead of growing the chain, hit the radar and if you dont get the shiny grass, keep running back and forth and hit the radar again instead of encountering everything
Do you have to have all 492 cataloged in your dex before you may shiny hunt? I can't get mine to work. It gives the message about "...not right now". If I do have to have all 492, then I guess I won't be chaining 💩. So sad.
I'm actually going crazy. I've been at this for hours now and my chain keeps breaking, either between 15 and 20 or between 35 and 40 encounters. I feel like I'm doing something wrong. In another video I watched, the guy said that he got a 40 chain first try twice in a row, I feel like my game's just saying no.
if you reset because of something. (reset as in reclick the y button after charging up) do you have to use the radar in the exact same spot as before also can you save the game while being in a chain?
to the first question, no to the second question, I would save before you start chaining so that you don't waste any items. you can soft reset if your chain breaks. Also you chain breaks if you turn off the game so its not like you can save mid chain and come back to it later. hopefully this helps. sorry for the late response, I don't check this channel often anymore
Dam i tryed hunting shinys in 2009 and i never found them in my childhood. Search and found this vido for a clearer explanation to learn how it is done finally that i didn understand.
Any advice for shiny hunting a kirlia in route 209? Edit: at my 43rd and 44th chain I managed to get a male shiny kirlia and a female shiny kirlia. I'm so happy
Well, thank you. I tried it and by 12 on catch chain i caught beatiful pink murkrow. Gotta be kinda lucky 1/5328 :DD Not mentioning i played fire red last year and got full odds geodude and gastly while just going quickly through game :D
Its to do with the math which is super hard for me to explain. I am not well versed in the math parts but the 4 spaces away gives you the higher odds of the same pokemon returning than say the 2 spaces away. there are percentages that I don't know off by heart but that is just how the mechanic works.
The fast shaking grass and slow shaking grass stay there. I was just talking about the speed in which they shake, so if you pick one just stick to that
does this make getting a shiny less exciting? to me i feel like having a grass sparkle and THEN encountering the shiny might take away some of the thrill of getting a shiny
I think it’s all up to personal preference. It’s the real difference between random encounters and method hunting. I know I cherish my full odds random encounters shinies a lot but method hunting can be a lot of fun. All in all I think it’s personal preference 😊
Yes the shiny patch is a guaranteed shiny and the odds for it are 1/200. But more often that bot you are gonna see 4 shaking patches when hitting the pokeradar so the shiny comes up pretty quickly when you are at the 40 chain
broke a chain of 41 cause i was getting paranoid that i probably missed the shiny patch or that i wouldnt recognize it....plus had like 10 repels left painnnn
What happens if i reach chain number 40, and encounter the same mon(same type of patch etc) and catch it? Does the chain becomes 41? Does it adds more chances so as to get a shiny?
40 is the ceiling the odds don’t get any better at 40 which is why everyone stops running into patches at 40 and goes only into shiny patches. Just keep walking back and forth until the radar is charged and check the area again until the shiny patch shows up
@@edwardb.530 I figured it out but I'm not getting shiny's that way anymore cause would do everything right then no reason chain breaks I would rather just breed for shiny's that way if you can get them that way
@@Akuma-vi2wu that's fine, personally I like this method more, even though it randomly breaks, this method is relatively faster, and you can even get multiple shinies
Hi so i hope you see this, Ive been doing chains for 10h non stop but my best 3 is 39, 35, 31. Ive been catching the 4 tiles away and the probability for me not getting 40 chain is very low. Is there something im getting wrong?
Are you counting the steps? Like four steps away or 4 til radius away? Also I would suggest only going into a patch of grass when there is 4 total patches shaking
@@Yellowyugo YESSS FINALLY GOT IT. accidentely ran into a 1 tile on the last but luck was on my side. Only one that wasn’t 4 tile. Thanks so much you don’t understand it’s been a long 12 hours. Tysm
Yeah just got to soft reset a whole lot saw a video of someone getting shiny giratina with 4 copies of platinum soft resetting right before the first time you see it and it took like 3734 tries or something
DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS WITHOUT CATCHING THE POKEMON. the odds of successfully maintaining a chain for 40 encounters is 44.5% if you catch the pokemon on grass 4 steps away if you do not catch the pokemon and still only use grass 4 steps away, then the odds go down to 0.6%. Catch the pokemon.
I tried for an hour. Very frustrating. My biggest chain got to 19 until i fd it by walking into the wrong tile. Most chains just break on their own and it just makes me want to throw my DS against a wall so ill just stop.
@@r.a.c.douceur766 oh nah nah nah you are all good. I am just surprised that neither I or anyone has seen that since this has been uploaded hahaha. Happy Hunting!! Are you gonna be doing some radar??
Hey, im sorry about that. I am confused as to which part is confusing. maybe you could give me an example. lots of other people have said its a good guide so i'd definitely like to know which part you are referencing.
I mean it would be nice to have a fun method like this to use during your playthrough but i think it was originally intended to be the "post game" content to keep people in the game for a couple years.
Why would you waste such a lot of time for some different coloured Pokemon? Like yeah I do play Pokemon games but i never understood the hype behind shinies
I'm confused on the 10% increase thing, that you mentioned close to the start of the video. You were catching the shinx and mentioned if you catch a Pokemon, at the start of your radar'ing there a 10% likelyhood that what... you're telling me the whole time your radar'ing you cannot run into another pokemon and run away... And there is a 90% chance that that can happen unless the pokemon ur trying to find shiny is by far the highest % to appear in the grass it might be like a 60 or 70 % chance... wtf ... this sounds awful !
So not a 90% chance, it scales when following the rules. Here is an article that explains it using pictures better than I explained it here. If you scroll to the part where you see the coloured zones you can see the percentages of continuing your chain there and the catching gives you the 10% boost on that. With out going to the article I can say that if you go into a patch that has the same shaking grass type that is 4 steps away there is an 88% chance that your chained Pokémon returns and with catching you get that 10% boost on top of that. I’ll take note of that and try to phrase it better in a future tutorial , thanks for commenting and watching :) www.smogon.com/forums/threads/chaining-with-the-pokeradar-the-correct-way-gp-2-2.3486334/
Don't forget: Don't breathe while chaining, it will break your chain
Don't chain while chaining. Your chain will break
Well small world huh kullbull
Well small world Shinylucario102
Don’t blink either! You might miss a patch.
@@Shinylucario102 just now i see this😂 yes the World is small
Another important note, if you got bad grass patch placement, and want to use the pokeradar again you HAVE to make sure that at least one of the grass patches that shook stay on screen. Otherwise your chain will break when it goes off screen.

Why we have to walk into the grass that 4 steps away? And why don't go into the grass that really close or the connected grass? Can you explain that?

You were catching the shinx and mentioned if you catch a Pokemon, at the start of your radar'ing there a 10% likelyhood that what... you're telling me the whole time your radar'ing you cannot run into another pokemon and run away... And there is a 90% chance that that can happen unless the pokemon ur trying to find shiny is by far the highest % to appear in the grass it might be like a 60 or 70 % chance... wtf ... this sounds awful !
So not a 90% chance, it scales when following the rules. Here is an article that explains it using pictures better than I explained it here. If you scroll to the part where you see the coloured zones you can see the percentages of continuing your chain there and the catching gives you the 10% boost on that. With out going to the article I can say that if you go into a patch that has the same shaking grass type that is 4 steps away there is an 88% chance that your chained Pokémon returns and with catching you get that 10% boost on top of that.
I’ll take note of that and try to phrase it better in a future tutorial , thanks for commenting and watching :)
