It's funny...I decide to chain just to make leftovers farming with Pickup more interesting. On the 3rd chain, the upbeat music plays and a shiny patch appears....allowing me to score a Shiny Pancham.
No luck on gaining any extra leftovers though, lol
Oh mai Arceus...all the shinies I've caught have been with low chains. The highest chain was Horsea at 35. The lowest was Shellder at 6.
Since my gf had no luck finding a Shiny Alomomola, I attempted to find one yesterday and found it on chain 14 .w.
So, it caps at 7...that's very handy info indeed. My highest streak so far has only been 40 so I wondering what the maximum BP output was. Not bad, not bad
Ah, well, thanks for clearing that up. I guess it was pure coincidence and since other people had documented this happening, I pretty much believed it. But yeah, that's exactly what I told the person, though lol....to save prior to placing the parents in the daycare so we're on the same page...
That is exactly right.
I'd save prior to putting the parents in the daycare. Or if you want to reset the odds of what you'll get, take the parent out and put it back in.
@Emily Thank you so much for your guide. I discovered that entering the same patch was the key in the early days of...
Ah, yes, if you've been getting repeated success on chaining, I'd like to know as well. I'm fairly good at it now but I'm trying to chain in more difficult areas [Route 14 for Goomy] so this help would be greatly appreciated .w.
Eggs have always been determined once you receive them but now in...
It's pretty much been confirmed that you can only get one shiny patch per chain of 40. I know this from personal experience. It's sad to see this mechanic change but given that it's much easier to chain than in 4th gen, it's understandable.
Tried out chain fishing again to get a Shiny Remoraid and ended up with two Shiny Chinchou xD
My gf wanted a Shiny one [and ironically she got a Shiny Remoraid] so I'm gonna trade one of them to her. I'll get my own Remoraid, though .w.
UPDATE: Found yet another Shiny Chinchou omgggggg what is...
Since the data of the games hasn't been fully decrypted, we won't know exact figures on this. Guidebooks never do this, sadly. I can do some testing since I'm fairly good at chaining.
I've only seen scans from the guidebook across the net and they're all the same. I'm sure all the noteworthy info will be translated and compiled at some point.
Ahaha, I was literally about to see if anyone had mentioned this yet. Thank Arceus for the Japanese guide uncovering the mystery for us....most people had predicted this was the purpose of the music.
I was extremelyyyyy lucky yesterday c:
I managed to get a chain of 40 on my first chaining set and snagged a Shiny Furfrou. Then, later, I decided to give chain fishing another try, and after a couple chain resets, I got a Shiny Shellder [with a critical capture] on chain 5
Ok, all the sources I've found say that Mr. Bonding appears in Cafe Introversion when your style is maxed out and you have obtained the other 15 O-Powers.
Yet, he still has not appeared. I was able to buy Charizardite Y at 10k...I'm trying to figure out what else I have to do. When I...
Sadly, I believe you can only get one shiny patch this gen. After finding my first patch, I resetted for an entire hour without finding another one ;-;
However, it is easier in these games so that's probably why
Route 5 and Azure Bay are good locations to improve your chaining abilites because they have large fields, especially the latter.
People that have great experience with chaining can do it just about anywhere. This one guy on Youtube, CRONALDOEE2, is pretty much a legend at it.
