I'm new to catching shinys and still don't understand this Pokéradar stuff. Today the was a swarm of Farfetch'd and I had a chain of twelve with no luck of a shiny. Am I supposed to just continue the chain until I find a shiny. And how long does it usually take. All help will be greatly appreciated.

Yes, just keep encountering more Farfetch'd until you reach 40. 40 is the point where you should stop trying to increase the chain and just reset the radar over and over because the chances of finding a shiny do not get any higher after 40. And getting a chain usually varies from 30 minutes to an Hour, depending on how careful you are.

If you can't get up to 40 chains, then just look carefully in case you miss a shiny patch.

It doesn't move. Instead, it has shiny stuff (I don't know to describe it) over the patch of grass.
