With chaining, the chances will max out at 1/200 chance per shaking patch when you get to a chain of 40 or more, and if you have 4 patches shake when you use the Poké Radar, that is 4/200 chance that you will find a shiny. As you may know, a shiny Pokemon is generally a 1/8192 chance of either encountering or hatching from an Egg (not taking Masuda method into account, or Shiny Charm from BW2).
This is beneficial, because the higher your chain gets, the more likely it is to encounter a shiny Pokemon. This guide aims to teach you how to properly use the Poké Radar and chain Pokemon using information found in the game coding.Ĭhaining is the process of encountering the same Pokemon numerous times in a row. Many of you might remember the key item in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum that was given to you for seeing all the Pokemon in the Sinnoh regional Pokédex, but fewer people know how to properly use it.
