The Poke Radar Shiny Method
Read the Hole Post Before Attempting this Method!
Some of you Might not read the hole post and try it out without the information you need. but I highly recommend you read all of it. every bit of information counts.
Lets Begin.
___________
It funny that just just a few little changes can make a feature go from convenient to frustrating.
The Poke Radar, first introduced in gen 4, has returned for X & Y. but it's not quite as useful than it was in the past. You can get it after you beat the Elite Four, on the 2nd floor of Professor Sycamore lab in Lumose City.
Here's how it works.
First. You'll need a lot of Repels and find a big patch of grass or flowers. most People agree that in Kalos, the best patch to try is the big one past the roller skaters on Route 5. The Patch Must Not Have Any Holes in it. And it has to be pretty big too.
Before you begin, you'll probably want to Register the Poke Radar, and Unregister anything else you have Registered.
Do Not Use Your Roller Skates At Any Time During This Process! Just stick to the D Pad.
Now. Use a repel and step into the grass. and press the Y button to use the radar.
You'll see some patches of grass moving and here the music change. You'll want to have your sound one during this process. Because the music will help you know when you Break your chain. If the poke radar music stops and the route music starts playing, your chain is broken. You'll need to start over.
Occasionally, the Poke Radar will play different Music. No one knows why yet. but since your chain is not broken when it comes on, you Don't need to worry.
Find the fastest shaking patch of grass and step into it to start you chain.
You Must Defeat Every Pokemon You Run Into. If You Run Away From It, It Will Break Your Chain And You'll Have To Start Over.
The goal here is to find the same species pokemon over and over again in a row. otherwise known as Chaining that pokemon. Until one of the shaking grass starts shining. once you see it, you should walk into it right away. Because the Shining Patches contain Shiny Pokemon.
Once a battle ends, immediately More Patches of grass will shake. You Need To Be Very Careful About which Patch of Grass you Step in.
THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!
If you walk into any on the edge of the Grass, You'll most likely Break you Chain.
If you walk into any that are shaking right next to each other, You'll most likely Break you Chain.
If you walk into any that are in four squares of you, You'll most likely Break you Chain.
If you walk into any that's not shaking fast Enough, You'll most likely Break you Chain.
If a Pokemon you have with you tries to evolve or a egg hatches you Will break your chain.
If you walk to far away from the grass you will break your chain.
And sometimes the chain will just stop for no good reason. but that's rare.
If you happen to run into one of the legendary birds while Attempting this Method, they at least will not break your chain.(aren't they sweet. :P)
Sometimes, None of the patches that shake will be use usable. what should you do? Step out of the grass and walk 50 steps. then walk back into the grass and use the Radar again. This is called resetting, and it just gives you more patches of grass to chose from without breaking your chain. You might need to reset your radar multiple times in a row before you find a patch of grass that will work. If you think you saw a good one but you were not sure, Reset anyway. You can never be to careful.
The good news is, if you get a chain of 40, you can just walk around and reset your radar over and over again until you find a shiny patch.
honestly this is the most frustrating process in the hole game for most people. It requires a lot of concentration and Patients.

Happy Shiny Hunting. :)
