Fistly A patch is just a patch I understand what you are saying but unless it is a shiny patch you dont take any risks at all that is the Key thing to chaining if you take risks your heart will get broken. So just dont go into a patch (unless it is a shiny patch) after you have used the radar and you want to use the repel. just reset the radar if that happens.

Are you talking about when you have got up to 40 chains. Don`t go into a patch unless it is a shiny patch?
I know some people get to a chain of 10 maybe, and then start waiting for a shiny patch to show up.
Do you wait for a shiny patch from a chain of 1?
Sorry if I did not follow you >_<
I get you now. Yes, I have not been making a mistake I think.......
Just wondering do you always get to 40? I find it quite hard, so I would like to know if you have any luck a chaining at a lower chain of 20 or 10? Thanks
While you are chaining, you are chaining because more than likely You want to get a shiny correct? Technically you can reset at any number 1, 5, 10 , 20 doesnt matter but know this, the higher you go the better chance you have at finding a shiny pokemon. Its all about raising your chances to find a shiny. When I say raising your chances I mean just making really high chains but always stop at 40 do not go anymore because after 40 the rate at finding a shiny is maximum and you cant raise your chances any more. ONly time you go past 40 is when you have a shiny or when you want ot see how far you can go. Do you understand now?
Got you mate! Thanks for explaining it to me. I knew that already, it was just the restarting thing which confused me.
Do you know the chance of getting a shiny on a chain of 20 for example. I think with wild Pokemon it is 1/8000 or something.
if it is 1/3000 at a chain of 40, would it be 1/6000 at a chain of 20?

we do not have the equation yet, but we do know that it is capped at 40, but wat u sed could be the case takoyaki
Cool, thanks. I still have not given up on the Gastly yet you know
I will try to get a chain of 30 and buy lots of repels tonight ;328; Last night I should have waited a bit longer, but I trhought I would try and get a bigger chain, but did not make it to 40.It took me over 3 hours of chaining and waiting for a shiny patch, but I was not lucky. Do you know how long I should expect to wait at 30 chains for a shiny patch?

on average...for me at 40 it takes half an hour or so...soemtiems more, sometimes less, expect a few hours work, but u can do it day and night as long as u ahve a chain the pokemon appears even if its in the daytime
Cool, thanks. Once I get my Gastly I will post a picture of it on here ^-^. Are you after a shiny now?

SkittyOnWailord had a good find. Try chaining in the fog without clearing it. Nintendo apparently put the fog under the patch animation. So you will really only see 2-4 patches shake in the white fog. (it is very visual. Probably very good for people who are going after Bagon)

Back to chaining for shiny Lotad, I still need to find one first XD.
No, that is not right. You need to move 4 steps not three.
Please look at this diagram;-

I'd go to the number 3 looking that, but aren't 3 steps too to get it?Or does it count the lateral step?
As far as I know, you should go to the number 4, with is 4 steps away. Also make sure 4 patches of grass are shacking and don`t go into the 4th patch if it is on the edge of the grassy area.
