How does Chaining work for you?
 
my best efforts in a chain was 27 Minun... then 23 Pikachu and 20 Slowpoke... it's all of a sudden getting near impossible for a higher chain...

How is the Pokeradar treating you lately?

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ May 31st, 2007 3:11 AM

very lucky actually, I ran into a shiny Gligar on my second try on Sunday

asthegreat May 31st, 2007 3:33 AM

im not very lucky
my highst chaining is 11 bidoof

AztecSunshine May 31st, 2007 7:57 AM

my highest chin was 8 shellos (the blue form) and 4 buizel it's realy hard to chinX_x

TwilightBlade May 31st, 2007 8:18 AM

Highest is 17 with Nidoran male... Really want a blue nidoran male. D:
I use repels and walk to the farthest patch of grass that rustles the same way it did as the first one. One rustle has white specks (means its a rarer pokemon) and the other is the plain old grass shake. White/blue stars mean it's shiny... Haven't seen that yet. D:

Espeon Master May 31st, 2007 8:54 AM

My highest is 11 Swellow, not really impressive.

usami May 31st, 2007 8:59 AM

The highest I was able to get was 20 Budew.. then some stupid Shinx can along and ruined it

I haven't really tried to chain anything since then.

iCE CUBE May 31st, 2007 9:06 AM

I managed to chain 16 staravia in the trophy garden but then a pichu came and ruined it all.

ShadowTails May 31st, 2007 6:23 PM

I tried Growlithe today... got 23 and the next few times I got to 21 before other Pokemon broke my chains... I think I'm getting better.

Roihu May 31st, 2007 7:28 PM

30 bidoof not that I wanted a shiny bidoof but meh...

ShadowTails May 31st, 2007 7:39 PM

at least you were able to get a pretty high chain count! I might try Growlithe again tomorrow... I dunno why but I want a shiny Growlithe.

On another note, where is the best place to get money? the Elite four is good, but I think there are some other trainers that give a decent amount of money out, I have Luck Incense and Amulet Coin so I'm ready to get more money... I want 999 Max Repels >.>

Roihu May 31st, 2007 7:56 PM

Try rich boys -_- with amulet coin

Richard Lynch May 31st, 2007 8:22 PM

Hell, I don't even know how to USE the Pokeradar.

Could somebody please explain this to a layman?

Paranoia June 1st, 2007 1:02 AM

Richard Steel, I sent you a PM about how to use it, check it later


Well, my highest was 36 ponyta's!! It was so lame how I lost it, :( But yeah remember keep at it, you'll master it soon enough, It get's really easy soon.

1st: 36

2nd: 25

3rd: 22

Pretty good no?

Roihu June 1st, 2007 7:15 AM

That's awesome....I've yet to encounter any shinies -_- But I did find a shiny magikarp while I got bored of using pokeradar

I believe that Super Repels are more of a good "deal." But yeah, look for trainers to battle. Go south of Hearthome and near the Pokemon Mansion are two rich kids w/ one pokemon each, Luxio and Lopunny IIRC. Attach amulet coin and whoop 'em good for an hour.
I chained today about 10 nidoran male... And got poisoned. D: Tried Surskit and Houndoom a bit too. Look on Youtube for a pokeradar guide since it helps so you'll know what the shiny sparkle looks like.

They have bad quality that's why I got yellow confused with white so much -_-

Richard Lynch June 1st, 2007 6:37 PM

Hey Paranoia, I think I kinda accidentally deleted your PM and I never got to read it. I apologize, but could you send me one again? Or could someone tell me how here? Do I have to like... click something, or do I just look for grass to wiggle or what's going on? lol

ShadowTails June 2nd, 2007 5:49 PM

I'm really mad about chaining... I was chaining the common Zubat... and a FREAKING Bibarel decides to show her ugly mug during my chain... I had like 25 Zubats chained and then I go off to the grass that could not possibly not have a Zubat in it and it's... A FREAKING BIBAREL... I swear if you're not looking for a freaking Bibarel your chain will be destroyed during your search...

When I chain Growlithe it's Shinx, Sentret,and the commoners (bidoofus and starly), when I chain Slowpoke it's Buizel and Pachirisu... when I chain Zubat, it's freaking Bibarel... I swear... it's impossible for me to chain anything higher than 27...

SilverDragon June 2nd, 2007 6:22 PM

Hmm, i havent tried chaining yet so i dunno.. =/

Myzou June 2nd, 2007 11:58 PM

had 17 dittos before m,y sneasel ran out of false swipes when I was catching them for natures XD

shinyGeo June 4th, 2007 4:42 AM

my highest has been 33 wit pachirisu but since i finally had enough money to get 999 max repels i saved before i went in and whenever my chain broke i just reset my DS so it doesnt show at the bottom screen on the pokeradar checker...it still says my highest was 20 shinx...

metroid fan June 4th, 2007 8:11 AM

I finally got a shiny vulpix which is now a shiny ninetales! That's the only real shiny that I've gotten though.

ShadowTails June 4th, 2007 12:52 PM

I've learned stuff while Chaining, DON'T SAVE! I save before I start, to not waste that many Repels, so yeah... I tried chaining Eevee and Growlithe today... Growlithe was going well till stupid Starly showed up... and For Eevee Staravia... >.<

Shadow June 4th, 2007 1:10 PM

My highest is 11 Kriketune, followed by 8 Bibarel, both while EV training my Nidoran/Nidorino. The next is 6 Fearow, which was when I was just figuring out the PokeRadar on Route 225?
