The Poké Radar, obtained from Professor Rowan after completing the Sinnoh Pokédex, allows you to find rare Pokémon and shiny Pokémon by chaining encounters. When used in tall grass, patches of grass will shake. Entering a shaking patch will initiate a battle. If you defeat or catch the Pokémon, more patches might shake. The goal is to keep battling the same species of Pokémon to increase your chain.
- Higher Chain, Higher Chance: As your chain increases, the probability of encountering a shiny Pokémon in a shaking patch significantly rises.
- Tips: Use Repels to avoid breaking the chain with unwanted encounters. Always go for the patch that shakes the most vigorously or is furthest away.
Poké Radar chaining is a rewarding but challenging activity for dedicated shiny hunters and those looking for Pokémon with good IVs.
