The Poke Radar

I don't Shiny hunt, so I didn't use the Poke Radar much. It seemed like a good device on paper, but too much of a hassle to use in real life.

I tried it a few times, but quickly got bored and gave up. Consequently I never found anything with it.

I chained for Shinies in Pearl using the Poke Radar and managed to discover almost twenty Shinies that way once I had finished long chains. Good times.
 
I didn't use my PokeRadar for chaining Shinies, I just focused on finding the special Pokemon throughout Sinnoh that would only show up via the Radar.

I loved the concept of the PokeRadar, but I was never able to find any shinies with it. I usually did average-length chains.

The Poké Radar was a nice feature though. I tried to chain some shinies using the Poké Radar in Platinum, mostly with Pichu and Swablu, but I didn't find any shinies of them using the Poké Radar unfortunately. However, it was easier to chain Swablu because it was more common and eventually found and caught a Poké Radar exclusive Bagon because of that.

Sinnoh was my first game (Diamond) and my favourite gen. I loved the Pokeradar :) I got 10 shinies with it! Shinx (3), Swablu, Starly (3), Buizel (shiny patch on 3 :O) and Bidoof (2). Seeing that shiny patch is amazing! Never tried the 6th gen radar, I honestly prefer the 4th gen one.

I only managed to find four Shinies via chaining with the Poke Radar, and two of them are recent Shinies that I found while replaying Diamond version. Also, I wish that the Poke Radar exclusive Pokemon weren't such a chore to find.
