    Thanks =)
    I was synching Adamant for the first six, and then Jolly for the last two Shinies, both of which turned out Jolly ~

    A 50% success rate overall is good enough for me :3

    I chain quite a lot, and it's really paid off!

    My shinies caught with the Radar:

    Weepinbell x4
    Buizel x1 (chain of 9)
    Starly x1 (chain of 5 [day after Buizel])
    Machop x1 (chain of 8 [same day as Starly =O and it was Hasty and Alert to sounds!])
    Machop x1 (Seperate chain, adamant and Likes to Thrash About)
    Eevee x1 (Chain of ...11?)
    Geodude x2 (Chain of 40 and 41, one was adamant)
    Bidoof x1 (Starting a chain)
    Shinx x1 (Same as Bidoof)
    Natu x2
    Krabby x3 (One was adamant)
    Magnemite x1 (Modest :o)
    Bronzor x1 (Brave and Likes to Thrash About)

    That's my list. :)

    some guy just posted a fourmula dude event though its hard to read what it says

    This is the formula for calculating the probabilty of a shiny while chaining! NOTE: Increase the chances for an Electric and Steel shiny with a pokemon in the first slot with the abilities Static and Magnet Pull (Respectively)

    Probability of a shiny! N=chain number
    1474-40(n)

    ~I didn't quote this. I think UGAtyler07 did he desrves credit

    Here's the full guide right here with equations and a graph near the end.

    Basically, your shiny chance per patch is about = 1 / [200 - (41 x Current Chain Number)].

    40 is the best, which makes the highest chance of 1/200 or 1/50 each time you reset the radar. The chance does not increase past 40.

    Keep trying though and good luck. :)

    Well I've taken a break from chaining to get my UU team ready. Not chaining related but when I was getting some Scyther eggs I noticed that I had hatched a shiny! It's Lonely natured, however, but does have the egg move Baton Pass. I really do have no idea what I'm going to do with it.
