So in my friend safari you can find a ivysaur right....I was on skype with a friend and he found a shiny ivysaur in my safari xD
I found a shiny weepinbell myself some time ago. c:
What is the Friend Safari? I haven't had access to my 3DS since Friday morning and I've only got 7 badges.
Are you just going for matching grass shakes instead of the 4-7 spaces rule?
Yep. I used to follow the rule completely (for fear of breaking my chains) but after testing it for multiple chains now, I can confirm it is non-existent. Just keep going for the same type of patch you started with. If in doubt, reset the radar.
One thing I have noticed, however, is that the 'patch bunching' pseudo-rule from 4th Gen is back in play. I.e. if 3 of the 4/5 patches all touch each other, and you go in one of them, it might give you a different Pokemon. Not guaranteed to do this but I'm not taking any risks again.
Had a 21 chain break this morning because of that.
Any chance anyone have a normal piplup in the game? I'm willing to tradr for one of my shinies!
I am so mad. Got a chain of 40 for Liepard and the next patch I step on was a Watchog. There was nothing I thought was wrong with this patch but it broke my chain before I got a shiny T_T have to start again now after chaining for over two hours and using over 200 max repels. Sake.
So this happened. (Switch to 720p if you can, best quality)
I did note however that after catching this, no other shinies appeared. I used another 50 Max Repels, which equates to 250 Radar Resets. I also pushed the chain to 64. Still nothing. I believe they've changed the mechanics as it was always possible in DPPt to follow the 4/200(1/50) rule when resetting 40+ into a chain. Happy about my shiny but annoyed if they have actually changed the mechanics.
