Poké Radar: Difference between revisions

After the {{player}} has seen every Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]], they will be able to meet [[Professor Oak]] in [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab in [[Sandgem Town]]. After Oak upgrades the [[Pokédex]] to the [[National Pokédex|National model]], Rowan will give the player the Poké Radar but will not explain it very thoroughly.  In {{game|Platinum}} the opposite-gender rival, Dawn or Lucas, do however - when spoken to they give a practical demonstration on [[Sinnoh Route 202|Route 202]]. When the Poké Radar chain has reached 40, (as seen on Pokétch App 20#) the player can reset the chain and a patch of grass may sparkle. Once the player starts a battle in that patch of grass, the Pokémon will be shiny.

It can only be used in the standard [[tall grass]], while on foot, at which point a tune will begin to play, and one or more patches of the long grass may begin to move. Patches that shake more violently than others are often rarer Pokémon; some Pokémon can only be found using the Poké Radar. When a player walks into one of these moving patches, a {{pkmn|battle}} with a wild Pokémon will instantly begin. [[Roaming Pokémon]] cannot be encountered while using the Poké Radar.  Like the [[Vs. Seeker]], its battery must be charged after use by walking around. It takes fifty steps to fully charge the Poké Radar. It is possible for the Poké Radar to find no wild Pokémon, in which case the message "''The grassy patch remained silent...''" will be displayed.
