It took me four tries though. My first three chains broke at 6, 16, and 16.. (or something like that.) My chain went to 51, but I only saw one shiny too :/ hehe I haven't decided if I want to evolve it or not, but if I do, I'll evolve it to a Glaceon.Originally Posted by Tad
Man your lucky, I can never seem to chain in that patch in the back of that.
Waht you going to evolve it into or going to keep it as an eevee ?
I migh thave a go at it xDGood luck~
It takes a while--even longer with the PokeRadar. I remember thinking that initially finding the Eevee was harder than actually chaining it. >< I was going to chain for a Cleffa too, but I gave up after I couldn't find it after a half hour. Then I ran around with Repel in effect and found one. x_xI'm just wondering, how long does it usually take to even start a chain at the Poke Mantion? because I have yet to see one daily pokemon after like 3 hours of searching... maybe I'm just unlucky. I just want an evee (or maybe 30)

I decided to try chaining again in the garden, even though the eevee day passed, and I finally found an igglybuff... I messed up the chain by hitting up while running back and forth though T_T
I wish they made them 10% instead of 5%... It would be a better chance of finding it, and it would make more sense because Mr. Backlot is rich anyways and he wants to make sure you can find the pokemon he lied about
EDIT: wow right after this post I found one lol... joy!
EDIT #2: Caught myself a shiny at 28

Where would be the best place to chain? "Cause ive been trying to chain for a long time but I suck. Ive only gotten to 13 chains with pichu. Any help would be appreciated.

This is weird. I could have sworn I got three shiny Snover, but I only found 2 in my PC when I returned to the Pokemon center. They're both good natures anyway, so I guess it's not so bad if I did something like absent-mindedly fainted one of them.

Is the other one in your party? lol
Pokemon Caretaker
No. XD
Anyway, I caught two shiny Sneasel today in the same spot. Not good natures, but I'll probably train one anyway.

easiest
ok, is it easier to catch them while chaining to find shining pokemon or is it easier to kill them?
Pokemon Caretaker
Got me a shiny Ponyta! Only one before the chain broke, and it's a hardy nature, but that's all right. I'll probably get more eventually.
Shinymaster: It makes no difference if you FAINT them or catch them, but usually fainting them with one strong move goes faster than weakening and catching them.

I just got my pokeradar, along with my Espeon (yayz) and National Dex! Thanks for the tutorial on how to use it!

Today, I got a shiny larvitar with only a chain of 4. I was freaking out! 0.0
87% Indubitable.
Chaining is like, half of what I do in Pokemon. XD I don't have many shinies yet, though... the earliest on a chain that I've caught a shiny was a Magmar at a chain of only 2. My Poke Radar shinies are Gardevoir (male), Delcatty (female), Magmar (male), Medicham (female...), Electrike (female, though I wanted a male).
No longer active. Sincere apologies.

wow been so long since i've visited this thread...good to see everyone still chaining, the last time i chained was like...a year or so ago lol...
just wanted to ask, overall, is it harder or easier to chain in platinum compared to D/P? might look into expanding my current shiny count of 351 =/ if its worth the time investment

Just have to write this to vent, today i reach my first ever 40 chain (of seedot) and when walking to the place where i intended to start searching for the shiny, dont you think i walk into one of the unsafe patches? GAAAAAAAAAAAAH a stupid starly ruined my chain and now im ******.
I have a little question, if you follow the rules for chaining (allways go for the poke in the fourth square and so on, using this guide:http://www.psypokes.com/lab/shiny.php) am i allways garanteed to not break the chain, or is there no such thing as a 100% safe grass?

master of nidos
i have tried to chain many times and found nothing

its a very high chance u will continue your chain, but you are never guaranteed a 100% patch, or at leasts tahts how it went during the days i chained

allright >.< well since i spent all last day trying to get a shiny, why not today aswell! back to the searching i go.
And one more thing, since i don't realy wanna spend millions of pokedollars on repels, is there any negative sideeffect of resetting (SR?) when a chain breaks and you have to start over apart from that the pokeapp doesn't get updated with the largest chain?
AAMayL supporter
when you soft reset, your chain breaks, but there is no side effects i do it all then time, but just to save you money, what you can do is get a meowth and keep using payday to kill pokemon, also super repels ahve the best price to steps ratio, also, you can get a bunch of linoones (5), train them till they "pick up" nuggets at a very high rate, check serebii to know which level and fill your aprty with them and sell the nuggets later. other than these, you can also battle the socialite and gentleman right outside of the mansion who gives the most pokedollars for winning while only holding 1, i repeat ONE pokemon each.
and just on a side note, soemthing taht i always did if you dont do it atm was, make sure u are 5 steps away from the side of the patch while running this way you will not. you will ABOSOLUTELY NOT miss even 1 step of your super/max repel. the basice idea is once patches shake run across and back for 10 steps, repeat 5 times and click reset the radar, if a aptch shakes to your right or left, in case of mis steps, move up or down 1 patch run to the edge, run back FOUR patches run back to edge and back to the patch above ur original standing point, then do 5 across and back again 4 times, at this point uyour step count will be at 49, making ur last step (stepping back to original position) make up your 50th. this way you will not miss a step and get the most out of each repel, and also neutralise the myth that "if patch shakes and then you use repel do not enter the patch until u reset again", because you will be notified your repel ran out before you reset sicne its always in 50 50 chunks.
i hope i was helpful and clear enough for you to understand, i have a tendency to be unclear when i write lots

yea i got it
right now i'm fed up with shinies, or more specificly pokeradar, since i allways seem to screw it up, and when i dont, the game screws me over anyways :P well i guess thats why shinies are shinies though.might keep trying later today when my need for a shiny seedot begins again
