    Chaining

    Well, I got my two shiny Meowth (Amethyst & Odd) and now I'm at a chain of Smeargle at 42. I found one shiny after 3 resets at 40, but it was female (I'm aiming for male) and I accidentally KO'ed it with my Mightyena's Bite; it hadn't occurred to me how low Smeargle's defense is. So now I'm...

    Chaining

    Which isn't true. As you get more Pokémon in your chain, the chance to get a shiny increases, and the chance is maximum (but still low) at 40. But there are no set numbers for when a shiny appears. Well, on my progress, I finally got a Meowth. Thing is, they're hard to chain and even harder to...

    Chaining

    (I'm Cryptica's sister, so I know too.) Yes, I'm sure it was shiny. It was pink, but lighter than normal. We knew from the start of the game that there were two forms of Shellos, but we thought that Pokémon with alternate forms couldn't be shiny. I haven't chained in ages, but I probably will...

    I got my shiny Tauros on the second one. :D I know bad luck. I've tried this for the last few weeks and the only two times I got a 40-Weepinbell chain, I forgot to use a repel when it wore off. xP The other time, I walked into the wrong spot.

    Same here, and I can't seem to get past 17 Bellsprout. I'm trying to get the shiny I lost ages ago... :/ Any tips? I always go to the fourth ring, and try not to go on the edge... but it still breaks. And yes, the patches ARE the same types, and I use Repels. o_O

    Chaining

    Nope. I was trying to tell you earlier, only the Pokemon you are chaining has a heightened chance of being shiny. Thus the chance is only about 1% at maximum for non-swarming Pokémon, since only one or two patches (usually) have the Pokémon you're chaining.

    Chaining

    I know... I just said that I always go to the fourth ring and it often breaks, even if I choose the same kind of shaking patch. I tried out the three ring sometimes too, and that seems to work, even though I'm still puzzled...

    Chaining

    I don't really pay attention to the "adjacent squares" thing. I guess I'm just too worried to go to the "three" ring, since my theory goes by rings around you, and due to Mightyena's rarity (sounds like it's the case) I guess I don't want to break my chain. I've never tried the "three" ring...

    Chaining

    I'm having trouble chaining Mightyena on Route 214 (the one south of Veilstone). I'm always going to the patch farthest from me, but my chain breaks at 20 or so anyway. Normally I would have gotten a shiny by now, but my chain breaks even at the farthest patch. I always go to the ones shaking...

    Because with each Pokémon, the chance of a shiny increases, and 40 is when it is highest and it doesn't increase anymore. 0.08% chance, I think.

    Woot! I got a chain of 41 Beautifly and a shiny!! :D It was female, but I still called it Speedy. My Speedy :)

    Chaining

    No shiny Pokemon for me, although I've had 45 Phanpy and 56 Pidgey. :( I haven't gotten any shinies at all from chaining, unless Tauros #2 counts. Right now I'm aiming for a shiny Bellsprout or something, or just any shiny at all. I'm pretty good, but after the 33rd Togepi in my most recent...
