Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

Chain of 11 Larvitars! Feeling optimistic about at least getting to 15 (which would be a new record high chain)!

Wish you luck. Maybe you'll get early shiny Larvitar, like I did last week.

Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

I know how that feels. I have a lot of 39 chains broken before. The latest one is my 39 chain of Tauros, broke by a Ponyta.

Not to worry, you can start it all over again. Go Go Chaiyo!

Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

Ah, well...it was just my first time ever getting a chain up that high in the first place. I have no idea where it came from, especially considering before now, my top two chains were 14 Doduo and 12 Farfetch'd, respectively. Then today I got back from a midterm, and picked up my DS to relax...next thing I know I'm chaining. I had originally planned on going for Gligar (they look so awesome in blue ^_^ ), but Larvitar showed up first. But it's kinda strange that I suddenly got such a good chain...oh well. It'll happen again. I WILL have that blue Gligar -- OR lighter-greenish Larvitar. Whichever comes first!

In retrospect...maybe I shouldn't have saved afterwards. I just wasted about 10 Max Repels...and I also probably should have played it safe and started resetting for shiny patches at around 30 -- or even 35. I thought I'd had a few, but I wasn't sure -- they were always kinda on the edge of my vision, and I didn't want to risk it.

Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

You used only 10 Max Repels to get that chain of 39? That means you never reset the radar. How in the world you get to 39 without resetting the radar? 8-o

What? I reset it so much I lost track...I started with 117, and now I have 105. But I was resetting a LOT. So...I was off by two? But still, I was resetting nearly every time.

Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

I guess you're right. I miscalculated, sorry, my bad. It's just that when I chain, I usually uses about 30 Max/Super Repels. :p

Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

Well, I hadn't started resetting for shinies...maybe that's when you use more of your repels? I don't know. But I was resetting a hell of a lot, and only got away with using 12 to get to 39.

So...for future reference. If I manage to get a chain up that high again, but start getting a feeling in my gut that it's not gonna last, should I just start resetting for shinies? I mean...I was starting to feel like I was pushing my luck once I hit 30. Should I have just stopped then and started resetting, or was I right to keep going?

Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

Well, that depends on you. The shiny appearance rate wont go higher once the chain reaches 40, but lower chain means lower rate of encountering a shiny. I always only start resetting once I hit 40, but I remember dukeburger said she start resetting after 35. And she has a lot of shinies to proof it. Just go with your guts. If you feel it's safer to start resetting on early 30s, just do it. It'll be harder (well, depends on luck too), but you wont feel frustrated when the chain broke at 39 if you decided to continue the chain.

Am I making any sense? I'm sorry, my English is pretty bad.

Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

No, your English is fine! ^_^ I've just been around this thread long enough to know that some people, when the topic of resetting before 40 comes up, get all "OMG NO WAI U BLASPHEMER U MUST GO 2 40 FIRST U TOTAL N00B BLAAAAAAAARGH!!!" (not really... ^_^ I love you guys!) and...yeah.

Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

:). But I do wish that a shiny Crobat exists in a different colour. Black maybe. I dont like Pokemon in pink and purple. Then again, that's just me. And a shiny Blissey is 'pinker' than the ordinary one. :mad:

I want a Black Crobat. @[email protected] That would be amazing~! That's the kind of Pokemon that would have you laughing maniacally when sent into battle.

Maybe the Pink and Purple colours are a girl thing. XD Though I don't consider myself very girly. Hmm. Well, I guess it really might just depend on the Pokemon you like. For instance, I would be furious if Shiny Charmanders were Pink. D:<!! I think I'd sue someone~!

Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

It's 5pm already. I'm leaving my office now, thinking about chaining Miltank tonight. I hope I can get the chain up to 40. But to find them in my Diamond is quite hard, and chaining at night will be extra hard, Cough!! Kricketune!! Cough!!

Edit : Oh and Beeli, please don't double-post. You can edit your post if you want to add things. :)

Oopsie, I didn't know that was bad. XD Thank you for informing me, I'll be careful in the future. I'm so used to typing in MMOs, texting, and AIM, where you just sort of toss your thoughts out as you go. @[email protected]; Huhu.

Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

I tried Miltank, but failed. Then I went for Baltoy. Got to 40 on my 2nd try, and got 3 shinies. The 3rd one took forever to come out, so I got too tired to continue resetting.
