I broke my cacturne chain by mistake. This is what happened:
First, I thought a shiny patch appeared behind my player's head, but it was a normal cacturne. Having done that I somehow switched the type of grass I was chaining in from sparkly to normal. I tried to change it back, but when I did try it broke to a dugtrio
Oh well, at least I caught 2 shinies. Natures are timid and quirky. No adamant for me.
Not sure what to chain next. Maybe wurmple or gastly? Hmmm...
And congrats on the shiny pineco pimplup! It has a really nice golden-orange colour *.* Hope your syncher kicks in soon!
