5th Gen Shaking Grass

Can the double-grass shake?

Yeah, I've had double grass shake before; got an Audino and a Sawk in White.

Also encountered the Red Striped Basculin many a times in the water spots.

My greatest find, to date, though has to be a Lv 56 Kingdra. I used super rod in one of the spots on Route 17... and Bam! It didn't actually hit me until afterwards that Kingdra was the final form... I got it confused with Seadra at first...
 
I mostly find Audino's, which is fine...but today!

I was training a Drilbur I just caught in the route before Lacrene town, and I entered a shaking patch with a...Shiny Audino!

Cue incoherent screams...my family must think I am crazy.
 
How lucky!

Have found a few Leavannies now, and traded them off for Osho and Tepig :D <3

^^
 
Woo! Found a level 50 Gliscor in a shaking patch! And yesterday I caught a level 50 Sawk. But I'm still happy with the Excadrill I caught with an adamant nature. At least I'm starting to see more variety from the shaking patches. :)
 
At this point I'm more keen on looking for Audino in those patches of grass than anything else because of the high EXP yield. But just maybe after beating the first part of the game I would be more focused on catching things. C:

But I did catch two Drillbur from the swirling dust. One is an Excadrill for my main team, and the other is a HM slave.
 
Yeah this is one of my training methods, I love it (I do wish they we're more common though and that you could have a shaking grass aswell as a water spot as I don't have Surf yet) but Yeah, I was in Pinwheel Forest and I was training and I went in the Shaking Grass spot expecting Audino and I encounted a Panpour and I too was like Wtf.. but I caught it.. obviously :)!
 
I found a Lilligant in Pinwheel Forest, but most of the time is Audino. I never get tired of beating them; good Exp.
 
I find tons of swirling sand.
But the bubbles in the water are mostly Alomolas. I've caught around 10 of them. :D
Right now I just found a Emolga in route 10 after I've encountered Thornerus. I think thats it's name.

Its kinda sad that ive been usin Audinos for my grind... then i wanted to lvl an Emolga, but the shaking grass was only giving me more Emolgas, prolly because of its Static ability T,T
 
I found one shaking grass patch in the entire game, and I ended up in another random encounter before I could reach it. By time it was over, the shaking grass was gone.

But I have seen and caught audino at random without being in a shaking grass patch so they can't be exclusive to them.
 
I mainly run up and down routes, waiting for some shaking grass so I can gain lots of EXP via beating a Audino.
I did find a Pansage in it in Pinwheel forest, but I'm not entirely fond of the monkeys.
 
Question: What's the best way to shaking grass grind? I'm just before the first Elite Four and a good 10 or so levels below where I want to be to defeat them. Should I just run up and down Route 10 looking for shaking grass, or that small area in badge check? Or is there a faster way to do it?
 
I run up and down up the side of the grass, and after around half a minute, a shaking patch usually appears. I've found quite a few monkeys, mostly Pansage, though I'm not too fond of them. I found Emolga & Whimsicott in the shaking patches, though.
 
The champion fights you with a lv.54 Hydreigon when hes only available lv.64+
Not to get off topic or anything, but ghetsis is not the champion. You can only fight the champion in the post game, Alder. Anyway I also had a random encounter with an audino, I caught it and named it tabunne.
