************************************
1) Buy lots of Max Repels
2) Buy lots of your favorite Pokeballs to capture with.
3) Register the Pokeradar
4) Set the Poketch to the Pokeradar Counter (Poketch App #20)
5) As your first Pokemon, use one with a move that has lots of PP, and can easily kill the chain Pokemon in one hit. Also useful are Pokemon with the skills like Magnet Pull, which can affect the variety of Pokemon you encounter. Also make sure to have plenty of PP Recovery items.
6) Pokemon with Spore or other status-inflicting moves are helpful.
7) Aim to catch a Pokemon that is not the one in the second place in your party, or have nothing in that place at all.

================================================== =======
While chaining, don't do the following or it will break:

1) Don't escape.
2) Don't allow the Pokemon to flee.
3) Don't step out of the Pokeradar range.
4) Don't ride the Bicycle.
5) Don't save the game.

================================================== =======
Start the chain by:
Enter a grassy area and use a max repel:
?
[pokeradar] motion
?
Make sure there are four or more bushes shaking. If so, move to the one that is farthest from you, taking care not to step on any of the others or step outside the Pokeradar range.

(Never step right above you, as the bush there may sometimes shake and won't be as visible, leading to your not seeing it)

Don't step on a bush close to you, as this has a high possibility of breaking the chain.

? Repeat ?
Faint it in one shot.
?
When the shaking bushes don't present a favorable position (are too far beyond the Pokeradar range, or are too close to you, for example), avoid them, and walk in safe grass for fifty steps, until you can use the Pokeradar again.

Choose a good set of bushes and enter the farthest one. When you run out of Max Repel, use another one.

Remember how many Pokemon you chain. When you've chained 40 or more, begin to use the Pokeradar without entering shaking bushes until you see one with a brighter sparkle, and a change of color.

Enter that bush, and you will find a Shiny. Catch it. Battle End.

The Pokeradar may continue to shake afterwards. You may save the game if you want, or you can continue trying for more shinies.


================================================== =======
Several shaking types:
Position of shaking is close:
If your desired bush is beyond the Poketore range or is in one of the corners of the grass, don't step on it. Instead, "redo" the POkeradar. When pacing to reset the radar, it's better to pace to the left and the right rather than up and down.


================================================== =======
To determine which shaking bushes are good and which are bad:

The shaking which is good:
Farther away than 3 bushes (it is distant)
It's not on a corner
It shakes the same way as the initial encounter did.

The shaking which is bad:
Closer than 4 bushes (it is close)
It's in a corner
It shakes differently than the initial encounter did.

Look at this grid to determine which areas are safe to step on (I think this is what they mean):
33 |333 | [3] <- Not safe to step on
-------------
2 |222 | 234
-------------
2 |111 | 234
-------------
21 |You | 123 |[4] <- Not safe to step on
-------------
2 |111 | 234
-------------
222|223 | [4] <- Safe to step on
-------------
333|333 | [4] <- Safe to step on
-------------
Wall wall wall wall wall wall wall wall


When your path to the shaking bush is slanted, and you can see it distantly, there are three bushes together. This is a bad grouping.
Next time around, the probability of that corner having a shaking bush is not very high.
(Why is it so easy to stop a chain all the time?)

================================================== =======
If you need a break:
Avoid a situation where, when you come back, you won't remember where the shaking bushes were, or where you are in the chain.

0) Write it down before you go. make a map if need-be.
1) Reset the Pokeradar
2) Make sure your DS is plugged into the AC outlet.
3) To keep it from burning out the battery too quickly, put your DS in sleep mode.

* Note that after you come back, there will be no strain on your chain, but it's still just as easy to break it as before!

================================================== =======
Bad conditions to create Pokeradar Chains:
Sandstorms, the Ashfall, the Rain and the Snow can hinder your view of the shaking bushes.
Because of that it is not easy to increase your chain, since you will have trouble finding the shaking spots, and noting any changes in color.
However, if you change the angle at which you view the top screen, you can make it easier to spot the movement.
You can also try adjusting brightness if you're using a DS Lite.
Before using the Pokeradar, spend at least one second focusing your eyes on the grass. That way the movement will be more noticeable, and the weather won't bother you as much.

Weather can change, and there are some times when the weather in these places will turn more favorable.

================================================== =======
Be prepared for the capture:

Make a long enough chain.
If you begin to reset the Pokeradar too early, there are usually a lot of times when it will not yield a shiny.

Remember that if you're hunting a Pokemon that has some sort of evasion mechanism (explosion, escaping, whirlwind, etc.) to be prepared for it.

'Master ball'

It is the safest choice. But don't be TOO eager to get rid of it. If you think you can capture it without this ball, do so. You may need it for others.
In addition there are also times when the enemy self-destructs in the large explosive and reaction damage
Before the shiny appears, you should try catching one of the others in the chain to make sure it won't throw a monkey wrench into your plans. You never know what tricks they may have up their sleeves, unless you keep your Pokedex handy.

(* For example, Graveller is a prime candidate for self-destruction! Take care when chaining him!)

================================================== =======
4 bushes rules:

If only you follow these rules, you'll be all right!

1) Enter a shaking bush at least four bushes away.
2) There is one bush shaking in 1 place and maximum of four bushes
3) If there are 1 spaces around, one comes to the point of shaking and suddenly it falls silent, avoid it!

================================================== =======
In addition:
* The Poketore range includes every bush that is shaking in a given instance. Don't scroll the screen beyond any of them, or the chain will end. You can leave the bushes, as long as you don't break this rule.

* When you have to apply a new Max Repel, don't enter into battle that time around. Reset the Pokeradar.

* Keep an eye on your Pokeradar chain counter app. If you look at the number after a battle and see that it has increased, you've continued your chain.

* When the TV broadcasts a swarm of a specific Pokemon, chaining of that Pokemon is much easier to do! Pay attention for the program "Sinnoh Now." The show comes on on the 15th minute of every hour.

* Real time does not affect the Pokeradar. It's okay to take a break if you need one.

* Concentrate after every battle to make sure you don't lose track of the shaking bushes. You may want to cut out outside distractions like music or noise too.

* There are several variations of shaking you'll see while chaining. It's important to note which ones mean which kind of Pokemon.
A short shake - usually means common pokemon that occur frequently.
A long shake - usually means the Pokemon is rarer, and its occurrence isn't as frequent (like ditto, for example).

* The shiny grass lasts a little longer than other things, (with an optical sort of glimmer)
Small shaking: two quick fluffing motions
Big shaking: Dry (?)
Forcing shaking: Brighter and longer shaking. Easy to mistake for Shiny shaking.
A shiny's shaking: Glimmers twice.

It's very similar to the Pokemon accessories "shiny powder" and "glitter powder"
