Just a couple of questions to make this all clear.

Is the chance of getting a shiny patch higher the more you have on your chain?

It seems to be becaus people are going up to 40 and then are resetting their radars all the time.

I got up to 26 wit doduo! No shiny though.... stupid bidoof!! Aargh!

Thanks!! :D

I don't think the length of the chain matters, it's just all based on luck as far as I can tell.

This is probably been answered before, but can you use Repels and still use the Pokeradar? I hate getting my chains interruped.
 
ive been having rotten luck as of late. ive tried chaining ghastly, eevee, ralts and even lickitung...nothing! hopefully, i'll get lucky later today, and im gonna try and chain ralts again

yes, of course. You are supposed to use repels while using radar.

Yes, And Doduo was my first set of Pokeradar shinies =D. Before I even knew what the Shiny Patch looked like, but I would've gotten 3 had that Pokemart guy not been there =\...

He was standing in the patch that had a Shiny Pokemon in it. The sparkles appeared right where he was standing.
 
yup pretty much everyone does...and shadowtails that really sucks haha...ill would have send my charizard to burn him
 
grrr i was trying to chain corsola but then all of a sudden the grass path turns quiet!!

Grr! I went up to 22, didn't beat the doduos though.

And I tried to chain swinub but its impossible in that big blizzard!!
 
Hmm... Route 217... isn't that the route with the Ice Rock and the route you evolve Eevee on?
 
14 Ponyta's but no luck with shiny so far.

I would suggest just trying again, I think you got higher than I did when I was chaining him yesterday, that area isn't one of the best places to chain but it can work sometimes =\... I wasn't having any luck.
 
does anyone know why this happens

i was chaining a shinx and then like the pokeradar music just stopped and the regular music started playing again and like everything was back to normal....then my chain was ended:(

do any of you people know what happend??its happend to me twice already and i get relly mad
 
When I chain Absol I go to the bit that is up the rock wall. It is easier than at the bit with all the trees. Absol is hard to chain. I have never had over 30.

i know! that's what happened to me with corsola. sometimes the grass patch just turns quiet, no pokémon were picked up by the radar. :(
 
Yes, that is when you walk out of range of the Pokeradar, I can't remember the exact step number it is, I think the limit is 6 steps away from at least 1 patch that shook on screen then it loses the chain, it's happened to me a lot, but the oddest thing was when I was chaining Shinx, got to 40 reset one time and "the patch fell silent" =\ just make sure you find somewhere safe to walk up and down without getting all of the patches that shook off screen.

By the way, if people still don't know I wrote up a guide and it got moved to the FAQ, which can answer some/most of these questions, I can't exactly edit my post unless I ask a Mod to which I'm going to probably need to rewrite the guide soon.
 
yeah ive seen it and it was what got me started on looking for shinys:)

i thought that was the reason for why that happend..thanks:)
