If the Pokémon that is found is [[faint]]ed or [[captured Pokémon|captured]] in a [[Poké Ball]], a '''chain''' will begin. These chains consist of multiple members of the same [[Pokémon]] species (such as {{p|Farfetch'd}}) 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 get a higher chain. One of the many functions of the [[Pokétch]] is to display the current chain and the three best chains made so far.

One of the most alluring reasons to use the Poké Radar, however, is the high chance, especially after a long chain, of finding a [[alternate coloration|shiny]] Pokémon.
A common myth is that the longer the chain you make, the more chance you have of finding a [[alternate coloration|shiny]] Pokémon. Essentially, this is true, but not because you have used the Poké Radar, it is because you have been searching for longer. But, the chance of finding a Shiny Pokemon does not increase because you have been in more battles, in fact, it does not increse at all.
