Poké Radar: Difference between revisions
The previous page was worded badly, and seemed to indicate that the pokemon present on a route won't change during a chain (which isn't true- they're just encountered differently)

The chance that the patch in a ring contains the same species (to continue the chain) depends on the ring. Starting from the closest ring, the chances are 28%, 48%, 68%, and 88%. Catching a Pokémon rather than defeating it will increase these odds by 10% for the patches automatically generated after the battle. There are also two different ways grass patches can shake (roughly, one that shakes vigorously and one that shakes gently); if a chain is started in one type, the chain will only continue in a patch that shakes the same way. Different formations of patches have no apparent bearing on the odds of the chain continuing.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/chaining-with-the-pokeradar-the-correct-way-gp-2-2.3486334/ Chaining with the PokeRadar, the Correct way - Smogon.com]</ref> | The chance that the patch in a ring contains the same species (to continue the chain) depends on the ring.

When the chain begins, the game keeps stores the chained Pokémon into memory and every correct patch will generate this Pokémon, even they are no longer available on this route at the moment (For reasons such as a [[Pokémon outbreak|swarm]] ending). | |||
If the Poké Radar forces a Pokémon to be Shiny due to its increased odds, the game will construct a [[personality value]] that fulfills the Shininess requirement.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/ingame/rng/pid_iv_creation The Process of PID and IV Creation of Non-Bred Pokemon - Smogon University]</ref> It is possible, although very unlikely, for multiple Shiny patches to appear on one reset.<!-- There's a Smogon link and Youtube video somewhere that shows this, but I can't find it right now...--> Entering a Shiny patch will never break a chain. It is always possible for non-flashing patches to contain a Shiny Pokémon as well due to the normal, completely random chance of a Pokémon being Shiny. | If the Poké Radar forces a Pokémon to be Shiny due to its increased odds, the game will construct a [[personality value]] that fulfills the Shininess requirement.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/ingame/rng/pid_iv_creation The Process of PID and IV Creation of Non-Bred Pokemon - Smogon University]</ref> It is possible, although very unlikely, for multiple Shiny patches to appear on one reset.<!-- There's a Smogon link and Youtube video somewhere that shows this, but I can't find it right now...--> Entering a Shiny patch will never break a chain.

One of the functions of the [[Pokétch]] is to {{DL|Pokétch|Trainer Counter|display the current chain}} and the three best chains made so far. | One of the functions of the [[Pokétch]] is to {{DL|Pokétch|Trainer Counter|display the current chain}} and the three best chains made so far. If the current chain disappears when the encounter starts, the chain is considered broken (even if the correct Pokémon is encountered anyway- it is coincidence). | ||
