It's a pattern, step in grass that shakes the same way as the one you last stepped in, and after you defeat the Pokemon, walk into the patch of grass at least 4 spaces away from your character in one direction.
There are many good chaining videos on Youtube too.
To hatch a shiny, you can get one Pokemon from another country and breed it with your Pokemon from a different country (this country can be your home country)
This improves the chances of hatching a shiny to 1/2000
 
When can you fight the frontier brains do you need a streak or just a certain amount of wins

Thanks for your help I will try doing that.
 
Mhhm, thank you very much! :D
 
I have a question about the move Grass Knot.

Since Grass Knot is a move that works off of how heavy the opponent is then will having a Grass type pokemon learn this move increase its power at all? Also will miracle seed boost Grass Knot's power?

I'm sure that Grass Knot receives STAB as well as Miracle Seed boost. The weight only determines the Base Power of the attack; the boosts will go accordingly.

Yes. GK will recieve STAB and MS will boost its power. ​

I have a question

When using my charizard, It never uses the salac berry it's holding. I could get it to 1 HP, and it still will not use it. Does anybody know why this is happening?
 
It's not a HP restoring berry, so how much health your Pokémon has left wouldn't affect its use. I'm not an expert on berries, but from what I see it's a berry that raises speed slightly just by holding it, as in the Pokémon doesn't have to consume it to get the speed boost. But there's a chance I'm wrong, I'm just going from quickly looking up the berry description.
 
It activates at 25% health. I believe it is a phantom activation, (or not made noticable). So if you mean you are not seeing anything in regards to your pokemon- that is probably why. I am not expert here either. I honestly never use Salac in my mix up (as of yet). But i'm a noob:D
 
The berry activates and is normally consumed when at 25% or less health. It should say Charizard's Salac berry raised it's speed. I don't know why it's not working for you.

I have a question. What Flying type should I have on my new Platinum team? I was considering Honkrow, but apparently it's not available. And I've used Staraptor for 3 runs in Gen IV.

Well it depends.
Skarmory is a decent Pokemon, and has both Steel and Flying typing.
Another decent one is togekiss, who is a Normal/Flying type.
In the end, it usually comes down to personal opinion.

It actually depends. If you want to level up your pokémon quickly, I would suggest training in the areas where there are level 15-23 pokémon with one being North of Solaceon Town. Over there, there are also grass types and psychic pokémon, but also trainers with different types of pokémon with the levels 14 and up. Though if you prefer the levels being a little lower, I suggest training them training them East of Hearthome City. There also leads to two trainers and level 13-17 pokémon.

There are several options. If you're looking for something you can get relatively early, then try Crobat or Noctowl. Gyarados is Flying-type, but doesn't learn Flying-type moves other than Bounce. Beautifly is pretty easy to get, but not very strong. Vespiquen might be good if you have enough patience to get a female Combee and train it.

Gligar, though available only after the second badge, is a very useful Pokémon. Once you can evolve it, there are many good moves it learns; however, you'll have to use TMs for some of the better ones like Earthquake and Aerial Ace (?).
