238 - Pokeradar Chaining Guide + Full Shiny Starly Chain with Patch!

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
  • This is a guide to obtaining shiny Pokemon with the pokeradar on Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. I honestly just give tips and pointers while completing a full chain for a Shiny Starly. If you have any questions or concerns, please comment, and I will try and respond or fix any errors I may have made. I also will do a follow-up video if necessary.
    Pokeradar chaining is a lot easier than other methods of shiny hunting; don't rag on the Masuda method or typical random encounters; that kind of hunting takes a whole lot of skill. Also, I am aware you can easily obtain shiny Pokemon through pokegen and hacking, but what's the fun in that? It's like reading the summary and ending of a book without getting the full story. Shiny hunting is an adventure and a fun hobby. I, however, do respect your decision if you do cheat for shinies due to not having time to hunt.

    I understand that this is quite an old video now, but I only recently got back to Platinum and I never understood how to chain successfully. This is, by far, the most easily understood and clearest tutorial on how to chain successfully. Although it wasn't successful, I managed to chain over 20 Pokémon while hunting in the Route 211 grass (where Tyrogue is found); before seeing this tutorial, my only successful chain was less than half that. Thanks for this tutorial!

      I think if you make it to 40 dont try anymore. Just keep those repels going and wait till you see the shiny patch. then catch it and you can keep going. I got 3 shiny shinx and 3 shiny Arons like this. perfect for a living dex if you were going for it

    Lots of people hate on method hunts but Pokeradar is no walk in the park. It actually requires intense concentration and focus. If you really take your time with it getting to a chain of 40 sometimes takes hours! And even if you do everything perfectly, there is always a chance your chain will break. It's frustrating but when you do get to a 40 chain the feeling cannot be described!

      Benny Geht Dich Nix An there’s a 12% chance of the chain breaking randomly... if you catch the Pokémon, there is a theoretical 98% chance of the next encounter continuing the chain if you do everything right. ALSO, it does NOT matter if the patch of grass is in your line of sight or bordering another patch, it just has to be four spaces away. Good luck!

    just be prepared with a ton of repels, and only go for the patches that seem safe and match the initial patch you step into. I always just go for the loud, violently shaking patches for ease of eyesight.
    The hardest thing about chaining in X and Y is that there are few good sized grass patches. Try the big field of purple flowers on Route 5 or the grass patch under the cave on Route 7!

    Chains don't "randomly" break. Every patch has a certain percentage of finding the pokemon depending on how far away the patch is. Always go 4 away from you. The base percentage is 88%, but if you catch the last pokemon you fought, it goes up by 10% only for that one radar reset. That means at first there is a 2% of breaking the chain, then every reset after, there is a 12%.

    Shiny hunting with the radar may not require as much luck, but it certainly requires skill. Where's the skill in running around in grass over and over thousands of times until you get a shiny? Nowhere. In chaining, there is so much shit to keep in mind, it's way trickier but worth the time and energy.

    About 11-12 years ago, I chained Ralts, and actually found two shinies. My goal was a shiny Gallade, but disappointingly they were both female. Chain broke at 62, so I became frustrated and didn't try again. Today, after having watched your video, I decided to give it another go. I slowly increased my chain, eventually reaching 40. Went for a long time resetting, using many Max Repels, but finally I saw a shiny patch. And it was a male! After catching it, I continued resetting to look for more shinies, and actually found five more (six total shiny Ralts; four males and two females total) before the chain broke due to me forgetting to use repel.
    I will probably hunt for Budew or Shinx next, as I never attempted those back when I was a kid. So far, my chained shinies from my childhood days were Starly (now a Staraptor in Alpha Sapphire), Nosepass (a Probopass in AS), two Ralts (Gardevoirs in AS) and Wurmple (a Beautifly in AS now).

  • @AbsolBlogsPokemon
    @AbsolBlogsPokemon  11 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Since this is a REALLY good video on one of my favorite things to do I'll add one tidbit, hopefully, Absol sees this and can put it somewhere. It's best to use the radar in the middle of the grass, you can to (if possible) have a full ring of grass around you, 4 steps away, not touching the edge of the patch. Also, the reason why you don't want to walk into patches on the edge is then there's a higher chance that the patches will "generate" outside the patch of grass which will cause the chain to break. There is always a maximum of 4 patches that will shake, one in each ring around you. The final rule of thumb that he forgot to mention: NEVER STEP IN THE PATCH OF GRASS BEHIND YOU WHEN YOU USE THE RADAR! If that one shook, and you missed it, you're GOING to break your chain. I've used this to get countless shinies and, besides SOS chain, is prolly my favorite way to get them.

    Decided to try Diamond. I think I played it once before but it was long enough ago that I'd completely forgotten most of the stuff I learned that time. Right around Floaroma I encountered a shine Geodude. My first time ever seeing a shiny. I'd heard about shiny pokemon for a long time but was told the odds were very low in encountering one naturally so I pretty much forgot about them. Encountering and capturing that shiny Geodude got me curious if there was a way to increase the odds in finding them. Since I started looking around about it I've seen something about a Cute Charm glitch and this chaining deal. I haven't beaten the Diamond version Elite 4 yet but I'm hopeful that once I do I can get the poketech app and give this deal a go. I'm very curious to find out what sets a shiny patch apart from the other ones. I tried to pick it out in your video (I watched all 20+ minutes) and still wasn't able to see it, though I did notice there was a difference in timing here and there.
    *Edit* I just watched the 20 seconds before the shiny encounter again and actually saw how the shiny patch differed. It looked like it was electrified. Very interesting!

    his is a guide to obtaining shiny Pokemon with the pokeradar on Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. I honestly just give tips and pointers while completing a full chain for a Shiny Starly. If you have any questions or concerns, please comment, and I will try and respond or fix any errors I may have made. I also will do a follow-up video if necessary.
    Pokeradar chaining is a lot easier than other methods of shiny hunting; don't rag on the Masuda method or typical random encounters; that kind of hunting takes a whole lot of skill. Also, I am aware you can easily obtain shiny Pokemon through pokegen and hacking, but what's the fun in that? It's like reading the summary and ending of a book without getting the full story. Shiny hunting is an adventure and a fun hobby. I, however, do respect your decision if you do cheat for shinies due to not having time to hunt.

      When you hit 40 chains, you're not supposed to go into any patch of shaking grass if it isn't shiny. If you didn't see shiny patches of grass, reset the poke radar and use it again until you see one.

    It's all basically the same premise, except patches 3 steps away are now good.
    I had a ton of trouble in X at first, too; it just took me a lot more repels and resets to start getting results. There are 5 types of grass now:
    -trap patches - patches that don't make a sound and immediately break your chain
    -lightly shaking patches - patches that contain Pokemon that are soft
    -medium shaking patches
    -violently shaking patches - the loudest and most obvious. I only chain in these patches.

    Yesterday at a chain of 32 I hit shiny Bagon, today at 29 I hit shiny Tyrogue, what are these odds lol.
    By the way, the "random chain break" that you explained at 5:38 was not random at all. The patch you walked in was a 'loner patch' because it had no patches near it in the third quadrant from your character (meaning, if you drew four quadrants around your character where your character is the origin, that loner patch appeared in quadrant 3 without any other patches appearing in the same quadrant)... Loner patches have around I think a 90% success rate, so you were just unlucky. However if you're careful and also avoid loner patches, that rises to over 98% success rate.
    Clumping is the same. If ALL of your patches are in the same quadrant, but your 4-away still feels safe and not adjacent to anything, you still have that 90% instead of >98%.
    Continuing your chain after the first shiny continues the chain, but the probability of finding a shiny resets. So, your next shiny will most probably be found once that chain hits 80.
    I doubt this comment will be useful to you since you made this video over two years ago, but here you go anyway lol
    Nice tutorial, really onpoint, clear, and everything you said was true when it came to my experience of shiny hunting. :)

    This has happened on two separate occasions months apart from each other. One was in the Great Marsh while I was just randomly running around with the safari. Out of nowhere a shiny Wooper appears. I was lucky enough to actually be able to catch it. A lot of months later, I'm running to Stark Mountain to level up some of my Pokémon. I find a shiny Fearow. I was so glad I had pokeballs with me. On a previous save file that I messed up horribly with, I found both a shiny Wingull and Budew on the same day. Sadly I was stupid and decided to defeat both of them (I was still new to Pokémon). I've never full-on shiny hunted before. All of my shiny encounters have been pure random luck. I play Diamond in case you were wondering.

    Just wanted to say If you always chose the 4 tiles away patch which isnt on a boarder and kill the pokemon there is 88% chance of the chain continuing whereas catching it is has a 98% of continuing the chain. Using a bit of maths for you to get to that 40 chains he is talking about, catching all 40 pokemon in that chain gives you the chance of 44.57% of getting to that 40 chains. Whereas killing all 40 gives you 0.6% chance of getting to that 40 chains. So by the third run for that 40 chain you should be good statistically. (again this is only if you do get the 4th tile away and catch the pokemon)

What I mean by that is sometimes they shake a different amount of times. You REALLY have to pay extremely close attention because stuff like that happens often. Good vid Absol :)

    It's worth mentioning that catching the Pokemon instead of KOing it makes it 10% more likely to continue the chain. This boost goes away if you reset the PokeRadar. Also, two patches being adjacent to each other has no affect on the probability. Instead, each "ring" has a set probability of continuing your chain. The first one has a 28% chance, and each successive ring has a 20% better chance, making it 88% likely to continue the chain if you go into the patch in the fourth ring.

    Important points!
    - Only enter patches of the same grass type that are EXACTLY 4 steps away. The odds of keeping your chain plummet when you go beyond the fourth ring.
    - The 10% boost from catching rather than killing the Pokemon goes away once you manually reset the radar. You'll usually have to reset anyway for a patch exactly four steps away, so save yourself time and poke balls by just killing the Pokemon until #25 or som

So approximately it would take 25600 steps from pokeradar to find a shiny patch. :)
