also, for a bit of help, if youa re chaininga shiny nosepass, steelix etc. use a magnamaite/ton/zone or a nosepass with magnet pull.

if chaining an electric pokemon get a raichu, electrod etc. with static.

By the way, I think some details were missed out on that video, so I just thought I'd like to share this with you all! =)
I've seen some of you complaining about this problem, so I think it's about time you knew what was going on.

Annoyed at the grassy patch remaining quiet?
Annoyed because your chains break after a battle even though it was with the chained pokemon?

I'll give you all a solution to stop this.

NEVER reset the radar in a patch of grass which is not surrounded by eight other patches of grass. This may cause the grassy patch to remain quiet.

NEVER go into a shaking patch of grass which is not surrounded by eight other patches of grass. This may cause the normal music to play after the battle (meaning the chain broke), even if you got the chained pokemon in that battle.

Here's what I mean:


(Yeah, that screen shot was the best I could find lol)

I put a red cross on some of the patches of grass which may cause this problem because they are not surrounded by eight other patches of grass, and a blue circle giving examples of patches of grass which won't cause this problem because they have eight patches of grass surrounding them.

Bear in mind that the fewer the number of patches of grass surrounding the patch of grass you are going to use, the higher the probability that your chain will break.

I hope that helps! ^_^

Eevee's are definitely hard to chain, I mean finding the first one alone is hard enough.
My chains are starting to suck again. :(

Aye, I've been having 0 luck chaining recently, I've just about near given up... Zangoose was up to 40, no shinies after like an hour or so, I tried chaining Pidgey, no luck, and same for Buizel... I guess I'll just keep trying, or take a break from Pokemon, it's not like I've forgotten how to chain, and I usually get a good chain every once in a while... I'm just desperate for anything, I'm not going to resort to chaining Bidoof.

Also my guide is in the FAQ, you'll run into it eventually after you scroll down a bit.

one other thing i noticed. after finding a good grass location, a one where you want to be in, stop just before you get to it and watch your pokemon chain, then move in. if it stays normal while it fades, you havent broke the chain. if it disappears while it fades, you have broken the chain. thats all i know.

Dude, that's really lame =(
Only two more pokemon in your chain and you would have got a shiny within 13 max repels of resets.
At 38 your probability of a patch being shiny, where every patch is an independent event, was only 1/571 but at 40 your probability would have been 1/200.
That sucks bad, I feel sorry for you. :(

Highest chain is 21 Smoochum. No shiny from that.

But I caught a shiny Zubat from just doing normal things. It's Crobat now though. XP
