The Poké Radar helps you find wild pokémon and can greatly increase your chance of finding a shiny pokémon.This page is about chaining with the Poké Radar. For fish chaining, please read thechain fishing guide.
After speaking to the man, cast the line out near the stones, and keep reeling in Pokemon and running from the battle immediately until the Shiny appears. This will create a chain, which is important to not break because after around 40 casts, the odds go up and a Shiny should appear if done correctly.
How to Get the Poké Radar
You can get the Poké Radar after defeating the Elite Four and the Champion. Go to Lumiose City and go to 2F of Professor Sycamore's lab. Talk to the scientist onthe right and he will give you the Poké Radar.
How to Use the Poké Radar
To use the Poké Radar, youfirst have to charge it up by walking 50 steps.Then you have to be standing in grass or flowers where wild pokémon can appear. When you use the radar, some patches of grass around you willshake. Those shaking patches have wild pokémon. Step into the shaking patch to encountera wild pokémon.
What is Chaining?
After you use the Poké Radar and defeat or capture a pokémon that you found in a shaking patch of grass ora bubbling spot on the water, the background music will be different,and grass around you will shake again. If you find the same type of pokémon in the next spot, the grass will shake again after you defeat or capture it. When you keep findingthe same pokémon each time, it's called chaining. During a chain, the background music will continue to be differentfrom the usual background music.
The longer you chain, the more likely you are to encounter a shiny pokémon. The shiny probabilityreaches maximum after you have chained 40 times. If a shiny is in a patch of grass, the shiny patch will sparkleand make a different sound. In addition, the background music will be different if a shiny patch is available.
Don't Break the Chain
The following things will break the chain:
Encountering a legendary bird does NOT break the chain.
Chaining Tips
It's easiest to chain in a large patch of grass or flowers. You might want to practice in the big flower patch ofPokémon Village. There are also a bunch of purple flowers in Route 5.
Buy a lot of Super Repels and use them while you are chaining. (Super Repels are more cost-effective thanMax Repels.) This helps you avoid non-radar pokémon that would break your chain.
When you walk into a patch of grass, pay attention to how quickly/forcefully it was shaking. As youcontinue the chain, make sure that you always step into a patch of grass that is shaking the same way as the firstone. The same type of shaking means that you are likely to encounter the same type of pokémon that you havebeen chaining with.
Ignore the patches of grass that shake very slowly and gently. These do not have any pokémon in them.
If there aren't any good patches of grass, you can use the Poké Radar again without breaking the chain. Just walk around for fifty steps withoutencountering a wild pokémon, then use the Poké Radar while standing in the grass to make differentshaking patches of grass appear.
After you have chained 40 times, you have maximized your probability of encountering a shiny, so insteadof walking into the shaking patches of grass after you have chained 40 times,you should just use the Poké Radar over and over until a shiny patch appears. As mentioned above, a patch ofgrass with a shiny in it will glow, and the background music will be different from the usual Poké Radar music.
Chaining for Shiny / Perfect IV Ditto
Requirements for this chaining method:
Strategy Steps
1. Neutralize Ditto
As soon as you encounter a Ditto, send out the level one Klefki and let Ditto transform, then switch to Hypno and use Switcheroo to give it the Leppa berry. Afterwards switch to your False Swipe Pokémon and bring the Ditto to 1HP.
Now you have a Ditto that is a Klefki with the stats of a LVL1 Pokémon, only knows Recycle and it has a Leppa berry. This is perfect as it can never kill itself and or hurt you.
2. Chaining for Shiny Ditto in Sun and Moon
Switch to Garbodor and use Substitute – this will prevent new Dittos from transforming even if they have Imposter. Use an Adrenaline Orb and max out your speed by using Rock Polish 3 times. You should outspeed all of the new Dittos and now you are free to chain for as long as you want since you have a Leppa berry and Recycle. And you’re only attacking move is Poison type so there is no chance to accidentally kill the original Ditto since it is a Klefki and Klefki is immune to Poison type moves
You can chain infinitely with this setup with no risk at all.
