    Shiny Pokemon can be lurking in regular ol' patches O_O I was just chaining Chansey for the heck of it and I went to a patch of grass and I hear the shiny sound... I was like wait... I didn't send out Donp.... obviously the Pokeradar can find shinies on it's own and combine with the regular chances of getting a Shiny. I know that patch did NOT sparkle. Anyone else experience this? that and I'm gonna have to add this to my chaining guide.
     
    Hmmm. Good discovery, probably same chance of finding one just running around in the grass. 1/8192 or w/e
     
    Thats rather interesting. I've never had it happen though but from now on I will keep an eye out to see if it occurs on my game.

    BTW- Congrats on that chansey!
     
    Shiny Chansey.. in another game and place, you would be revered as one extremely lucky person.

    That's a good discovery, although I don't know if it should be added to a guide. It might just be a fluke that doesn't get affected by chaining.
     
    no you just hit a random shiny. They can only be in shiny patches. That was just your random shiny encounter. It happned to me as I started to chain buneary..and a random shiny wurmple appeared. I almost fell out of my seat x.x
     
    Yes it happened to me when I got my very first shiny skarmory. I heard a noise but then I couldn't see the sparkle. When I moved it just appeared.
     
    wow! great discovery! :D I might have a try at it (f i'm bored :P)
     
    Well this patch didn't sparkle at all, it just shook, I caught it and my chain kept going >.> it was just a normal patch, to be honest I thought the patch would more than likely break my chain, but I'm still going off that same chain. I just heard the shiny sound and I hadn't sent out my Shiny Donphan, which I was just raising his level off of them, I didn't expect at all to run into a shiny in that patch.

    i figured as much but never heard of it happening.
    congrats on your discovery ST :]
     
    If what you say is true, then it's not just me =D

    So basically, I guess that means don't rule out all patches, if it's Shiny then go to it, but if it looks normal it might also contain a shiny... interesting indeed.
     
    You were always able to find a shiny without the PokéRadar. o_O The PokéRadar just increases your chances of actually encountering one. Aside from that, it's still possible. You were just incredibly lucky.
     
    aye but you're more likely gonna just break your chain...
    which.... SUCKS!! xD it ALWAYS happens to me.. :P
    i get to 38 chain and BOOM breaks xD
    stoopid frikken bidoof/starly! i just want shiny shinx!!

    I know that, but I found the shiny while using the Pokeradar, but the patch didn't sparkle like it usually does when a Shiny is lurking in the patch.
     
    AFAIK, that's still the same as encountering a regular shiny Pokémon without using the PokéRadar. Circumstances are the same.

    yeah we know. we're just stating that its official you can do it with pokeradar :]
     
    Not much of a discovery. Call it luck. Or unluck, really, because you looked for a shiny with the Radar and got one the old way instead. Anyway, congratulations for discovering shinies can be found in the grass by walking. Nobody had ever thought of that.
