I have thirty or so max repels, a level one hundred pokemon to help me cleave through the wild pokemon I encounter, and a few hours free. Is there anything I'm missing? Are there any secret special techniques from the pros?

I know how the basic concept works: Don't interrupt the chain, keep stocked on repels, chain level forty is maximum chance, and so on. But I dunno if there's any finesse required, or if it's  just a matter of not messing up.

Something you should really avoid is using the circle pad. It'll put your skates on and end the chain. That's how I messed up a chain of 36 by accident... but I got my shiny goomy on my 8th chain with fast music.
