so if you continue the chain you can get more than one shiny from it?!?! I've been trying for tyrogue but my chains keep breaking for no apparent reason between 20-35....... so annoying.

I will say this again, chains love to break for no apparent reason before you get to 40, especially in Platinum though I expect you aren't playing Platinum but my point still remains valid, just keep trying at different times & the game will let you in eventually, did 3 chains before I even got to 40 & once I did I got 3 shinies from it & a chain of around 60... _________________Lawence Codye's Facebook (Cause I might as well eh?) ------> http://www.facebook.com/lawence.codye

I Copy Code & Paste in place of your previous post as it's how your post should look GofD, messed up on the quoting big time, just saying... GofD wrote: Good moral.

No idea how I pulled that off. I got a Shiny  at only the 2nd Zubat of my chain but the chain ended at 5, 5!...best situation I got like this outside of Platinum was in Pearl when I got a Shiny  at only the 7th Misdreavus in the chain but afterwards the chain broke via the next patch I ran into, so I had to go at it again for more & got only 1 more at the 33th Misdreavus in the chain & then the chain broke at 34 so...Congrats on getting Slakoth early as Eterna Forest even though it has all that grass is hard to chain in compared to some other routes... GofD wrote: Great, my platinum game does have it out for me....
I Not to make things worse but in Platinum, It took slightly more then twice as many chains to get 1 to got a shiny & it ended with a chain of 34 & a Shiny Chansey as the 30th Chansey in the chain, two chains later I finally breach 40 & get a whooping 4 shiny Roselia & a chain of 45(I actually decided that I was going to force myself to wait for the patch all day if I had to & this is the result)... _________________Lawence Codye's Facebook (Cause I might as well eh?) ------> http://www.facebook.com/lawence.codye

That's absolutely nothing, while training phanpy i got to a chain of 40 rather soon bu then preceded to waste my life and 400 max repels without seeing a single freakin shiny... needless to say i broke the chain on purpose. In all honest that one event made me stop playing for about 2 weeks =S

Regular/Common Pokemon (Any of the easier to encounter pokemon on the specific route, best chained in the Regular Patches but can be chain in any patch type like  or  on Route 201, etc...) Rare Pokemon (Any pokemon that is the rarer of the pokemon on the specific route but doesn't require you to go into the Radar Patch or whatever the harder patches are called to chain them like   or  in Eterna Forest...) Radar Pokemon (This is where  is if you are wondering as it only shows up when going into a Radar Patch or whatever the harder patches are actually called...) I am finishing the story mode in my Diamond Version as I type this so that I can get back to chaining again... _________________Lawence Codye's Facebook (Cause I might as well eh?) ------> http://www.facebook.com/lawence.codye

I was going to chain magnemite and was all set up but then i got commissioned for something so i'll have to get back to that later Well, I didn't want to finish it yet until I put it into another battle with my Pearl Version Trainer as they are rivals, then I was going to do it again...but decided that due to the fact that the soonest that I would be able to get another DS was when I got the 3DS(not to mention "if" I get it) & the fact that my current connection does not even allow me to use the basement floor of the Pokemon Center & the fact that I can't trade with another person to start my Platinum file over right now, that I was just better off just finishing both of them & in doing so learned all over again that catching Legendaries with great IVs is far more hellish then catching regular wild pokemon with great IVs...I just have to do Victory Road & beat the Elite 4 where they stand then after a small brief moment, I am free to chain & try to conquer the Battle Tower... Don't want Pokemon Black & White to come around & be released in the US before I finish the games that I need to transfer pokemon over from as all of my attention will be on that game when it is released... _________________Lawence Codye's Facebook (Cause I might as well eh?) ------> http://www.facebook.com/lawence.codye

Glad I helped to that extent but on that offer, got to wait until I get a new connection first as the 1 I have now is weak as hell... _________________Lawence Codye's Facebook (Cause I might as well eh?) ------> http://www.facebook.com/lawence.codye

Yeah, that really happened, though, I'd say that puts me a little closer to the "fail" side of the meter than the "cool" side :p
