If a [[Pokémon outbreak|swarm]] ends while a chain is in progress, or a Pokémon otherwise ceases to become available, then that Pokémon will continue to be available until the chain is broken. | If a [[Pokémon outbreak|swarm]] ends while a chain is in progress, or a Pokémon otherwise ceases to become available, then that Pokémon will continue to be available until the chain is broken. | ||
The probability of encountering a Shiny Pokémon becomes maximized at a chain length of 40, at approximately 1/200. This is a substantial increase from the usual probability of 1/8192. Since up to four patches of grass appear each time the Poké Radar is used, and each has an independent 1/200 chance, the overall probability of finding at least one Shiny patch for each reset of the Poké Radar is about 1/50. Entering a Shiny patch will never break a chain. | The probability of encountering a Shiny Pokémon becomes maximized at a chain length of 40, at approximately 1/200.
