How To Find Shiny Pokemon Using The Pokeradar in Pokémon X and Y | Poké Radar Guide 

Six years later, and I’m finally joining in on the shiny hunting community for X and Y. Really appreciate this informative vid!

I was trying to start my riolu chain, i walked into a normal patch of grass and i got a shiny azumarill lol

I still remember my ultimate shiny fail. So basically, I was on Route 5 and decided to randomly use the PokeRadar. There was a sparkling patch of grass, right there. I absolutely freaked out. Little did I know that I wasn't using a repel, and ran into a random Pokemon instead. I died inside.

Once i was on a chain of 19 smeargles, then zapdos...

Tries to turn on poke radar Mom:THATS NOT THRE TIME TO USE THAT

How to get Shiny Pokemon using the Poké Radar in Pokemon X and Y! QOTD: Do you enjoy using the Poké Radar to get Shiny Pokemon?

I was on a chain of 38, it ended. you were right, you will get mad.

Wow this is a video telling me what I did wrong...which was everything...X.

I got the fast Music during the video! But I didn't know what to do. Great tutorial!

As he was speaking about the birds my Moltres literally just appeared

Thx to u i got as shiny Ducklett as my first shiny for poke radar

Eggs break chains😡It happened to ME

Hey man, thanks for the nice video. Explained all the basics while carrying them out and not overhyping random things. Really appreciate it. Followed it perfectly and got my 1st shiny ever. It's a ditto. So now in theory I have every shiny ever too

Thanks for making a video on this, I'll definitely be practicing using this method!

UGHHH THANK YOU! I'VE BEEN LOOKING for tutorials like this and left none Nice job Smk

Well, that explains a few things I did wrong. xD Knew about most of it but didn't know about the two patches right next to each other thing, nor about going to patches 3-4 tiles away. I knew the fast music did something cool but I didn't think it boosted the odds to 1/200 for as long as the music was round. I do believe I finally have motivation to keep learning pokeradar. XP To the radar with me! Thanks for posting this vid, it was very helpful!

Stephen amazing tutorial. this whole time every time my chain would break I thought it would break for no reason but your video helped me realize that I had some flaws. Btw I loved that croagunk stream it was so fun and just keep,up with the great content I love your videos and I just love the atmosphere that you bring to your channel and the community bro

I've started using this guide as soon as I hit play and I've already got two shiny bros. Thanks. I didn't even mess up on my first attempts thanks to your instructions.

I know this is an old video but thank you so much for all the tips and advice. Patience and hard work paid off after ruining many chains, finally got the shiny riolu!

I'm gonna try this once I can in my new playthrough of X. Thank you so much for making this video, smk! This was so helpful! You are a legend!!!

Thanks man i needed this ive had trouble for a while

smk, this is such a helpful tutorial man. this helped me to get my first shiny. thanks again and best shiny luck to you

Nice video Dude, Wanted to get back into the Poke Radar for my shiny Pokemon streams and this really helped me out! Thanks :)

Thank u SMKGaming this was very helpful

Thanks dude! Very insightful! I will put this knowledge into good use.

Thanks a lot Steve! I got my own shiny Riolu thanks to you! I failed so many times but I finally was able to get that 40 chain and with that, the shiny!! I can't express how thankful I am.

Thanks a ton. I didn't understand the radar at all before watching this, looking forward to giving it another go.

thanks for the video it helped me understand way more of pokeradar than I did before 🤗

Thx! I’m be caught many shinies with the Gen 4 radar, but this one takes a bit more time! You helped me get a shiny croagunk

my god you are a LEGEND! the 3 or 4 steps away strat has really helped me! thanks so much!

Learning that you could reset the radar while in the grass is going to make this a million times easier, thank you so much.

If you sneeze you break your chain

That's really cool. I didn't know the grass shined if you did the poke radar thing. I thought I knew x and y inside and out. But I'm still learning new things about this old game.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME OUT!! :D (liked the vid)

Really helped me. Got my shiny Pancham in the 9th chain.

Thanks, I’m just getting into this method! I will try it out!

Dude, you should be a teacher. I love this guide. Thank you.

thanks for the advice, now I understand This method

Congrats bro! Shiny Riolu is very nice 😁

The edge pieces and distance dont matter just look for one space of grass to shake harder or bigger than the others and make sure there is only one that shakes the biggest. Go for that and its super efficient.

thank you so much smk this helped ,e become more sucessfull with radar

if i would of seen your video about the fast music u would of saved me with a shiny. im glad i did now. i thought a patch of grass shined and couldnt see it and walked to a random patch and broke it

Thanks for the guide! Just got my first XY Shiny finally after getting fast music while only 4 encounters into a chain!

just got a shiny pikachu from only a chain of 8! thank you for the guide although thats definitely lucky right haha

Honestly, I have to, have to thank you for teaching me how to catch shiny pokemons. After watching this vid, I caught my very first shiny in the same day

There are so many guides online that think they've got it all figured out. And every time I followed them, my chain would get broken even though I felt I was doing everything right. So I thought: You know what? How about I go find someone with some actual credit behind their claims? Someone who walks the walk so I can hear them talk the talk. And not just armchair programmers thinking they know the system inside out. And then I found you. I see your VOD's. You simply start a stream, go from 0 chain to 40 chain without breaking over a couple hours, and then catch the shiny. Simple as that. And you're right. You've got the experience to say what actually works. Thank you for being actually helpful in a very practical way and simply saying what you've found works. You're awesome!

Can't wait to try this!

This tutorial helped me a lot i got to a 40 chain and failed cause i walked into the patch that has no pokemon, but ag least i got to a 40 chain

Why doesn't my pokeradar work? Every time I use it, it has a dialog box saying that now's not the time for that

cool, i might be getting x again soon, so this will help

Hella confusing but i think i got it, ty man

My favorite shiny hunts method :)

You just explain it amazing thank you (:

Inspiring words at the end! :)

I know I am late to the game as far as this goes, but damn it's hard to get the hang of. I was so determined to get shiny Ditto. got it on a chain of 30 thank you.

Thanks mate!

This is a really hard method. Keep breaking my chain even when I think I’m doing it right

Thanks dude, This Video was really helpfull. Sorry that I write this so late, because i forgot to write this comment when i watched this Video for the first time. Anyways once The Fast music started after 2 encounters and i think that is a lil' bit rarer than when you have a really high chain.

i needed this video

This is very very hard but thanks for the tutorial!

As I'm watching this video I'm hatching a bunch of Tauros for the GTS and I got a random shiny, without the shiny charm. Thanks Smk I guess haha

Thx dude I got 3 shinys from this method I had to take a break from chain fishing

Thank you! I found a shiny croagunk at a chain of 7

Love your videos

really useful

I got the shiny croagunk in like 6 tries with fast music

Hey I'm a fan from Brazil, and I Love your videos, and I have to say, i will love if you do more lives and videos, finding shinys in pokémon XY, ORAS, and Sun/moon, because I have the Y and Alpha sapphire, and I want to see more gameplays finding shinys in this games, but is just an idea HaHaHa

Wow! This was an amazing tutorial and it's helped a LOT!!! I do have 2 questions, though. 1) Do using items break the chain and 2) does switching Pokemon break the chain. Thanks!!!

thanks homie

lol got the fast music right after you did

Tnx to this tip i successfully done a 15 chain 😂 for goomy earlier i can only do up to 3 so yah i think i learned a lot

Accidentally found a shiny ducklet trying to figure this thing out

HOW IN THE I thought I broke a chain, but NOPE ANOTHER SPOINK. XD

If im going to shiny hunt for pokemon should I buy another copy of XY or oras I got a second 3ds.

I was out by the Kalos power plant and got blow into a shiny dugtrio. :) I also have a shiny Durant.

Hello thanks for help!

No wonder lmfao. I kept on going to grass that touched each other :^)) Thanks!

Ooh thank you :o I'm guessing the same rules apply for older games like Diamond/Pearl? I really like the sprites in that game, so I super want to shiny hunt on an old game.

The only good tutorial

I was chaining a rare Pokémon and then encountered an Amoonguss and it broke my chain. Twice. I was trying to get a shiny Zoroark

The only issue I have is trying to chain a shiny Zoroark because when i start to chain, everything BUT Zoroark appear! its so annoying because Ill run into one before i use the pokeradar, but then as soon as i spray a repel and use the radar, its either Ditto's, Gothoritas, or Amoongus

tyyyyyy so much

Roaming pokémon do not break your chain, indeed. I was surprised by Articuno the other day. It fled and my chain continued.

God, I wish someone would pick apart the data for the mechanics of X/Y's radar like they did for gen 4's. Chaining in those games got so much easier after it turned out that most of the rules were superstitious bullshit all along, but I wouldn't put it past gen 6 to actually have weird formation rules and etc. just to complicate things :( I guess it's a feature most people don't really care about since the DexNav is so much less frustrating lol. By the way, it's still 1/200 *per patch* at max odds, yeah? So effectively 2.5% if five are shaking?

First shiny I ever caught I accidentally encountered in Virbank Complex in White 2. I was training my pokemon to face Roxie and I encountered a shiny koffing

Just got a shiny just now Bunnelby thx to this vid :)

Oh I'm looking for a shiny absol so this will help

got a shiny scatterbug after a chain of 6 after watching this!!

I just got a two chain shiny flabebe thank you

Ohhhhhh gosh. You dont even know how many times i've seen a shiny patch of grass, gotten excited, and moved with the analog stick and cried.

thanks for the zorua in x and y

lololol i littearly was on a chain of 34 then i found a zapdos during fast music, it doesn't break the chain

I had a Shiny after a chain of 37. But I accidentally used the Analog Stick to walk in the grass, so my character put on the roller skates and the chain broke! FML!

Valeu mano me ajudou muito!!!

I can remember in DP using the pokeradar to find a Shiny Shinx and I found a Shiny grass patch but it was time to go the school. I didnt want to go school, I cried so hard, my first Shiny Pokémon is gone....

SMK do u thing there's gonna be new shiny methods in Sun and Moon

I get a shiny thx bro

It gave me hope when he said he used 5 hours to learn this bs radar 😂 Ty for the tips im playing in emu for android its kinda harder and im trying to catch eevee but fck its bush is so goddamn little in pokemon x 😂

At first I was soo bad at this thinking it was too hard, I come back a year later and with patience it work, First 40 chain zoroark shiny......it died on me😭 Second well it was like 2am Soo could't see straight Third finnaly got after a 40 chain and like 20 resets👍

Which route are you on? Also thank you for the tutorial your awesome
