Shiny Patches of Grass....

    So, I know the normal chance of catching a shiny Pokemon in the wild is 1 in 8192, but what is the chance when you use the Pokeradar, and you go to a shiny patch of grass?

re: Shiny Patches of Grass....

if you go to a truly shiny patch, one that flashes twice and is a pinkish color, then it is 100% a shiny pokemon. more sparkles means more rare.

re: Shiny Patches of Grass....

The 100% accurate fact is 1 in 40 chance with pokeradar. if you start a chain for 40 pokemon there will be a 100% chance that 1 of those 40 will be shiny

For Chasbene

Have you ever had a chain of 40?

    Is this true? Do you have anything that confirms it?

    I have never heard of this before, but if it is true, then that makes things easier.

re: Shiny Patches of Grass....

I havn't ever heard that either, I just thought that at a chain of 40, the chance a shiny patch will appear is at its highest. When you are chaining before that, the chance just keeps rising. I heard somewhere, although this is probably just someone's guess, that at a chain of 40+ the chance is 1/200 of a shiny patch appearing.

You can probably find a youtube video. And yes this is true, you need a chain of 40 (same pokemon) without breaking that chain. Then the 40th one should be shiny if done correctly.

re: Shiny Patches of Grass....

after 40 chains, you have a 1/200% chance, or .5. but since theres 4 patches, its really like a 2% chance

re: Shiny Patches of Grass....

a 2% chance @ 40 means it will sometimes take awhile to get a shiny, since your chances do not increase anymore after 40. Because your odds do not improve after 40 chains, just stop after you get to 40 and keep resetting the radar until you see a shiny patch.

QFT. This is best way to do it. Bmx and I used to shiny hunt.
