It’s incredible! I found a few randomly before it, but ever since I completed my first 1/8192 shiny hunt (Treecko in Sapphire), I was hooked. I appreciate the comment!
Hi ShinyCollector7 - nice seeing you back hunting! Random question - back in the day there is a video from D/P/Pt radar chaining. It was said that you successfully chained 201 Bidoof 😂 Do you have any recollection of this? Just wondering if this is the highest known radar chain that was ever completed? I've been getting into the Poke Radar a lot again recently after like 12 years and the highest chains have sparked my curiosity! Good luck on your future hunts, love the Darkrai btw 😎
Hey, I’m glad to be back! So cool you found my channel. Oh yes, I remember that! 😆 I feel like someone had a slightly higher Voltorb chain. But you got me thinking now, I wonder what the record is 🤔 That’s so cool you’re doing some Radar chaining! I might do the same soon too. I really appreciate the support! Best of luck on your hunts or other projects you’re doing 🍀
@@shinycollector7 Really a higher Voltorb chain huh? Might do some digging now 🤣 Idky but I guess over the years I feel like high chains got pushed to the side in favor of shinies, so want to give chaining itself some love and see if I can make a 200-300+ chain. It gets very RNG dependent at that point, but patience is a virtue I guess lolol. If I find anything out about the Voltorb chain you mentioned, I will let you know. So far the highest I've seen documented online in any fashion with a specific number was your 201 Bidoof in the original games, and in BDSP I've seen a high chain of 133 Ralts someone did about a year ago (but who knows there may be one higher out there, its hard to search with YT, reddit, twitter, discord, etc so many places shinies get posted). Will keep you posted - and best of luck yourself!! 🍀🍀 edit/update: found the Voltorb chain you mentioned. Looks like 211: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HF8zbKkdw2o.htmlsi=sauqsbs9gJv-cGMd Interestingly, the same person has a video where they encountered 3 shiny patches off of 1 radar reset 😳
So true, it does seem like most are more focused on getting shinies than a high Radar chain. And you’re right, the RNG will have to be on our side, much like with finding a shiny ✨ That’s awesome you found the video! Now I know what to aim for. Definitely a high chain. And 3 shiny patches at the same time is wild 🫨 I saw one person find 3 at once in BD/SP too, so only two times I’ve heard of that happening. I’ve never found 2 at once but always wanted to. Or even a shiny at a chain of 0 (advances it to 1), in a shiny or non-shiny patch
@@shinycollector7 3 in one is absolutely wild, even 2 shiny patches at once would be really cool, and definitely huntable imo. I was just looking for my first shiny patch and just got it with Vulpix today after a chain of 39. My chain ended at 45. Prior to this last time I chained was back in 2013, never got a shiny patch before or made to 40. I did have a shiny Zubat break a chain of Ponyta in a non-shiny patch once however. But now the journey to a 300 chain begins 😂
@@RichieL1991 Agreed completely! I’d consider hunting for 2 at once. Could take awhile but sounds doable Awesome about the Vulpix chain! I know sometimes it can take many chains to get one to 40 due to them randomly breaking At least the game compensated you for the chain ending ✨ I bet that was a huge surprise! I’ve never had a shiny break my chain but did find a shiny Miltank and Rhydon in non-shiny patches before
Emerald can have Synchronize stuff with shiny odds, only due to RSE'S broken RNG, but It'd be worth looking into it yourself. For future I'd suggest biting the bullet and training a Smeargle for Belly drum, Soak (if they're grass they're immune to spore in 6>) False Swipe and insert move here as sleep/freeze are a noticable increase for capture over Paralysis (and old gen fact in gen 2, paralysis doesn't do anything for capture!) as well as assuring PP isn't used.
For sure! You’re talking about how using Synchronize in Emerald can make it easier to hit a shiny frame that has that nature? I did some RNG manipulation in Emerald many years ago, and Synchronize definitely did help with that Great point. Sleep is definitely the way to go. Interesting about paralysis not doing anything for capture odds in Gen 2! As for the Heatran capture, I’ll admit I wasn’t that prepared! I was too eager to hunt it 😆 But I’m in the process of training up more Smeargles. I just got Pokémon X redownloaded so I can finally get one in Alpha Sapphire I really appreciate the comment!
