If the player does not capture or defeat the Pokémon (whether the player chooses or is forced to [[escape|flee]], such as by {{m|Roar}}, or the Pokémon escapes, such as by {{m|Teleport}}), the chain breaks. A chain will also break if, outside of battle, a hidden Pokémon appeared and is not encountered (whether by scaring it away, waiting too long, walking too far away, leaving the area, or entering a different battle). The chained Pokémon do not need to be found using the Search function, and the message "The Pokémon couldn't be found. Try looking in a different area!" does not break the chain if received when the Search function is used. | ||
As a chain increases, the Pokémon have a greater chance of having the special attributes that hidden Pokémon can have. The chance of encountering a [[Shiny Pokémon]] also increases, estimated to reach a maximum of 0.5% per encounter after 40 chained encounters. There is thus a 50% chance of encountering a [[Shiny Pokémon]] in approximately the first 130 encounters of a chain. | As a chain increases, the Pokémon have a greater chance of having the special attributes that hidden Pokémon can have.
