If I have 20, what would be the chances of getting a shiny?
I mean, "about" how many times should I use the radar?
 
Pokerealm posted the figures he found, a couple of times...
I don't have the time to retype them now, but here are some examples of how the probability rises -

Chain number/Chance of appearance(per shaking bush)

1 - 0.01403%
10 - 0.01765%
20 - 0.02533%
30 - 0.04698%
35 - 0.08468%
36 - 0.10152%
37 - 0.12652%
38 - 0.16819%
39 - 0.25152%
40 - 0.50152%

As you can see, when the chain reaches 35 or so it starts to rapidly increase until 40, where it will remain as 0.50152% no matter how much higher you elevate your chain.

As for how many resets...
Well now that depends on your luck;3 Could be one, could be one-hundered+
Don't count, just keep doing it until one appears, though most of the time a Shiny bush appears within 10-20 Max Repels worth of resets, for me anyways...
 
I don't have the link myself, these are just what I saved when Pokerealm posted them.
They were worked out using some formula that was found, but I can't remember what that was:p
I remember seeing it in some guide on Gamefaqs.com though...

Anyways, I have no more time to spare now, so i'm gone...

Tried chaining some random things today.

I started with Abra, but broke my chain at 9 already.
Mareep followed, but that one broke at 37!!!
I just can't let Mareep going away unpinished, so I chained it again:

Muwhahaahaha
Gehehehehe
Take this you sheep!

PS. Anyone heard something of Shuko and Zane Clarthy lately? I haven't seen them on in a while..

want to chain the swarm pokemon of today...zigzagoon..
but the chains break before reaching 40...one broke at 38
 
Congrats on mareep pokerealm! The funny thing is that my first mareep chain broke at 37 aswell! Then the next day I managed to avenge pachirusu (i.e. chain breakers) and got 4 shinty mareep, 3 of them having the nature I wanted (quiet).
My chaining targets atm are bellsprout and togepi, but so far I've had rotten luck.
Good luck everyone else.

Thanks =D
My first Mareep is Rash, which also isn't that bad.
I'm not planning to get loads of them, as I already caught around 9 or 10 Flaaffy a few months ago =p

Still haven't got a second Shiny Mareep, haven't resetted much, though.

Good luck on Bellsprout/Togepi, and good luck to everyone else too.
 
Thanks =)
My togepi chain is at 14 now, and i saw a 100% safe patch. Even though it was at the edge I went to it and thankfully it didn't break the chain :).

Sweet!

First shiny sneasel after three straight days of trying... now to catch the little pink booger in a heal ball...

<b>Edit: Captured the first... forgot my only paralysis was an oddish who was 10 levels below my sneasel... took a LOT of revives to survive the icy wind...</B>

What do you mean by "100% safe patch"?
 
I finnally got my first pokeradar shiny, actually shinies. I got two Shiny Ursarings and one was an adamant nature. After the second shiny I tried to see how many more I could chain and I went all the way to 76 which is 40 more than what I had for my highest chain. I have been trying for bagon, but haven't had any luck yet and I forgot I could defog the area.
