When the Poké Radar is used, the game will select four random squares 1, 2, 3, and 4 steps away from the player. If these squares contain a patch of grass, that patch will shake. If fewer than four patches of grass are seen shaking, then the randomly selected square did not contain a patch of grass. If zero patches of grass are selected, the game will display the message "''The grassy patch remained silent...''" and the chain will automatically break.

It is known that the farthest patch (the one 4 steps away) is the most likely to continue a chain. Certain formations of grass patches are also known to be more or less likely to continue a chain.<!-- Add Smogon reference link later-->
