Ah, I see.
So, you haven't chained in a while, and not doing so well now? (No offense)
Strange, since it's been the complete opposite for me:
I used to stink in chaining, so I hadn't played my DS for a couple of weeks for various reasons.
I decided to chain something after 3 weeks, maybe I could get a shiny. Surprisingly, I got a Cubone chain of 40, not breaking once, and 6 shinies. Plus, I chose to break it.
So, you're going to continue chaining again?
