'''Tall grass''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|草|くさ}}むら''' ''tall grass'') is a mechanic in the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]], and the habitat for many species of [[wild Pokémon]]. By moving around in patches of tall grass, a wild Pokémon may appear and begin to battle the {{player}}.

[[File:PokéRadarShinyProbability IV.png|thumb|right|The formula for the probability of finding a Shiny Pokémon. n_c is the number of Pokémon in the chain, up to 40.]]

The Poké Radar is a device introduced in [[Generation IV]] that is used to seek out [[wild Pokémon]] hiding in long grass. If the Pokémon that is found is [[fainting|knocked out]] or {{pkmn2|caught|captured}} in a [[Poké Ball]], a ''chain'' will begin. These chains consist of multiple members of the same [[Pokémon]] species encountered one after another. The only catch is this: a player must not encounter any Pokémon just by walking through non-wiggling grass, only by walking into the grass that shakes.  Therefore, it is recommended that [[Repel]] is used in order to ensure this and achieve a higher chain.  Entering the same type of grassy patch the chain was started in that is the farthest away increases the chances of meeting the same kind of Pokémon consecutively.  Long chains increase the chance of finding a {{Shiny}} Pokémon, which is indicated by the patch of grass glowing white twice rather than shaking.  In [[Generation IV]], long grass does not shake when the Poké Radar is used.
