Does anybody else Chain for Shinies?
If you don't know what I'm talking about, here is a guide;
http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gen...topic=43650073

Pokeradar-ing greatly increases your chances of finding a shiny pokemon.
It goes from 1/8192 to 1/202 with a chain of 40.
From Chaining, I have;

Corsola
Geodude x2
Flaafy x2
Bidoof x3
Shinx
Electrike

Edit- I now have a Machop and 2 Wurmple xD


And currently I'm chaining Chatots, and its currently at 7 :D

Kylie would be a full-blown expert on this one. I'm hard pressed to find a better living Pokedex than that girl.

I can say that during my time playing on Diamond (she has Pearl) I have encountered a Shining Machoke up by Snowpoint City. I was on my 5th or so Pokeradar chain and I noticed a patch of different grass. Low and behold, an uber-rare Machoke showed up.

On the note of Shining Pokemon, has anyone ever had an egg hatch shiny?

A Manaphy egg Kylie traded to me hatched into a shiny Phione.

(I apologize if I take away from the conversation, Steve.)

Aww, you're so lucky .__.
I've never hatched a shiny pokemon, But I really want to.
I like stuffing random eggs in my box and maybe in a few months time when I forget what they are they hatch and I'll be surprised.

And haha, I have a Shiny Machop :P
I named him Nacho.

@Tre- Haha xD
Its hard at first, but it gets easier.

I'll make sure Kylie hops onto this thread when she gets off of work. Seriously, I think you and her can have a great conversation about this sort of thing.

Yes, I was very fortunate, but I do not believe I can fully appreciate the value of a shining pokemon.

I once encountered a Black Rayquaza in Pokemon Emerald. It was the strangest thing I ever had seen.

I captured it and nicknamed it Ebony. Kylie imported it from Emerald onto her Pearl version and uber-trained it up to 100.

Ach...forgive me, this topic is about something else. I need to keep in line. ^^;

I have some friends who obssessively chain pokemon to get shinies. And oh the swearing that I hear when the chain is broken.

I could never do it. Once it becomes a chore to keep chaining, and you get all upset when it breaks, it's just not a game to me anymore.

Oh gosh you have to chain forty? Jeez I think my highest chain was like 12. I don't think I have the patience to do that sort of thing, although I would love to find a shiny Feebas to get a shiny Milotic or something.

A lot of communities (LJ communities) have users that will give away shiny pokemon, but the pokemon are usually hacked using pokesav to be shiny. Some people are super against non-legit pokemon, but I don't think it's such a big deal if it's like a legendary that was caught legitimately.

Rokryru: You can also use the pokeradar to find pokemon you wouldn't otherwise find. For example, using the pokeradar in the patches of grass right outside of the start town, you can find things like the Nidoran(F) and in Eterna Forest you can get the Nincada (which evolves into the fastest non-legendary in the game, I believe). I'm pretty sure that pokeradar is also used to find swarm pokemon in the area they're currently swarming, among other things.
