Shiny Hunt Advice? - HazelCapulus - Aug 22, 2016
So, I've only ever gotten shinies from horde encounters in Omega Ruby, but after literally three days trying to get a damn numel, I've decided to skip over to X/Y and try my hand at poke-radar chaining. 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.

You need focus and skill.

Good thing I don't need patience. I suck at that thing :P

You could try the friend safari which does require quite a bit of patience but you just run around until you find a shiny!!!
You can quit your game or leave the safari but the chain continues.
I would avoid going into another safari as I do not know if it breaks the chain.
Hope this helps

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.
