    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Beldum's easier than Absol... I completely agree with that, though. Pokemon in weather make me want to kill something. >:-( *kills something*

    The links to things that explain are all throughout the thread, so just go back through it until you find one.

    Chaining

    Let's just all agree that chaining is frustrating and leave it at that. Or we could find the creators of it and shake them until they tell us all their secrets.

    I did that once; got two shiny Pichus in the Trophy Garden.

    No, it absolutely isn't true. Getting over 40 does not affect your percentage in the least. I'll find the algorithm somewhere... There we go. For Notory, I'll post the algorithm: Shiny percentage=14747-40 times number of Pokémon in your chain (up to 40)...

    The chance is higher than that; about 1/200 (.5%). It sounds lower than it is--it takes lots of resetting, but 35,000 steps from the start of a chain, I had 7 shiny Eevees, so it's not all that bad. It takes a lot of resetting, though; I've reset the Poké Radar over 1,000 times since I started...

    Keep trying, and get lots of repels. I got my first shiny (an Eevee) weeks after I started chaining, and like I've said before, have gotten LOTS since then. As for the repels, well, my Eevee chain that got me 7 shinies took 120 Max Repels or so (30,000 steps). Also, with each and every chain...

    I've chained for over 40 hours. You get good at anything if you do if for forty hours in a couple of weeks.

    That sounds about right.

    The chain broke at 47, after I'd gotten all I needed. So I'm happy.

    I have a chain of 43 Eevees going. The last three have been shinies. For the first one, I had to reset for over 10,000 steps, but they're coming more easily now. I suppose I got a bit spoiled--"Oh, no; I have to go 10,000 steps to get a shiny! Woe is me!" The chain has been going for almost 24...

    Well, it was probably a slight exaggeration, but that's what it feels like sometimes.

    Chaining

    Yes and yes. In my opinion, chaining was a brilliant thing for the guys at GameFreak to add to the games, because chaining takes forever to do and even longer to get good at, along with being addictive to the same scale as little internet Flash games, which means that people will often spend...

    I have an Eevee chain of 40 going right now, but I haven't gotten any shinies from it after about 10,000 steps. :/

    Chaining

    Although I once got a chain of 78 Shinx, just because I felt like it, I just barely got my longest chain yet time-wise and number of steps-wise. 15,000 steps, and I got 4 shiny Poochyenas. :D

    Chaining

    I just chained an Absol on Mt. Coronet, which is one of the hardest chains in the game (I think). The chain's still going. :D The other shinies that I've chained are two Shinx (now Luxrays), an Eevee (now a Vaporeon), an Electrike (now a Manectric; got this one on the first try. At the end of...
