Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

Well, muchas thanks to Freddie515 for hooking me up with my first shiny -- and a Latias at that! She's got a Bashful nature, Quick tempered, and knows Surf, Healing Wish, Shadow Ball, and Ice Beam. She'll probably be used if I ever decide to do the Battle Tower again.

That was your first shiny ?

Neways right now I'm chaining VULPIX but I brought my wrong syncher :( I'll have to hope for the best since I already started.....

Yup. I suck at chaining...what I really need is time to actually practice, instead of being constantly interrupted with class or homework.

Good luck with the Vulpix!

Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

I suck at chaining common pokemon like bidoof but can easily chain rares like MILTANK.....

EDIT: chain broke at 22 , I got my modest syncher , VULPIX is tough to make appear though :(

Yeah, I felt the same way. My top 3 chains are all Ponyta and I was so excited when I finally got one. Where are you looking for it? I pretty much tried everywhere Ponyta was located but had the best luck on Route 210.

Not really. I just thought the shiny Ponyta was cool (blue is my favorite color!) and Ponyta/Rapidash seem to be some of my best Fire-type battlers in any of my games. I actually like Water/Dark/Dragon types better than anything

Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

I remember when I got a shiny ponyta in Crystal. I also got a shiny gligar and dratini but i never noticed that the dratini was shiny until it evolved into a green dragonite because in Crystal its shiny sprite looked like a normal dratini.

Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

I've never had a shiny Ponyta. I have the red Gyarados (Big Red) on Crystal and a shiny Oddish and Linoone (Sparkles and Lincoln) on Ruby, but I always wanted a really cool one and none of these (except Gyarados) are particularly interesting.

Route 210 is north of Solaceon. If you go north, you'll find that MooMoo Cafe (or whatever its called). North of that is some tall grass. North of that is a decent patch of regular grass to the right. It's the same are where you will find Tauros/Miltank. It is kind of a small area to use the PokeRadar, but I made longer chains there than anywhere else. The only down side is that my chains tended to get broken by Kricketune or Geodude (and every once in a while a Chansey)

Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

So, anybody know an easy/cool shiny Pokemon to chain? I'm gonna hold off on Eevee for a while so I can practice my chaining. It's hard enough to find in the Trophy Garden, but I could never get past a chain of 7. When I tried chaining other Pokemon in the garden (Kricketune, Roselia (up to 21!), Pikachu, and the occassional Castform) the chain was always broken by....Eevee! Darn you Eevee!! Why won't you chain?!

Any advice?

Look a page or so back...a lot of people had suggestions. The most common were Bidoof, Starly, Budew, Spoink, Shinx...

Hey, I can't get a chain above 14. *shrug*

Dont worry and dont give up! Just keep practising and practising, then one day.. you could chain 10 of each shiny (would be good wouldnt it lol)

It does take a while doesn't it? I could never get past about 21 for the longest time. It took a lot of practice, but I managed to actually get to 39 before the chain broke and then I got close to that several times. I only passed the 40 mark yesterday(44) and I haven't been able to get past 21 today. It just takes patience, time, and a LOT of Repels!

Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

Ahhh...I got up to about 8 Eevee, 12 Castform and 18 Pikachu before the chains broke...so sad...but at least that's an improvement! :)

Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

I haven't been chaining in a while, but I have gotten to 40 a few times. It just takes patience and a lot of resetting
