4th Gen Pokerader

I never knew how to do it lol, it confuses me everytime I try to use it in the grass it says this isn't the time or place..

PokeRadar chainging is.... hard. You register the radar for easy use, is my suggestion. Then you use it. four patches of grass will shake. go into the one that shook (use repels so you dont get jumped before you get to the specific grass patch) and battle. When you defeat the pokemon, four more grass patches will shake. I've found that usually, it's the farthest patch from where you are standing that contains the same species of pokemon. Once you get a chain of like 200 pokemon, your oddsa are pretty good for a shiny.

Alright, I think I understood all that lol, thanks Jordan.

Edit: Thank you all, I should say ^_^

It's been a few years since I've attempted at chaining, so I'd double check on Serebii or Bulbapedia, but I'm pretty sure thats the gist of it.

that's not really all correct, once you get to a chain of 40 you have a 1 out of 200 chance of finding one I think and there are good patches and bad patches now I know what they are, you can pm if you want and I will tell you more about chaining if you have platinum I would chain on there because it's easier.

Merged both PokeRader discussion threads together.

IMo - I suppose they just decided that HGSS didn't need it (and GSC didn't either and some routes may have been worse for it anyways the way many grass patches are organised?).

Also people less discussing how the Pokerader works please - as said there's guides and all for that (even in the D/P/Pt faq iirc?).
