I'm glad you like it! I'll be updating it at least once a day.

In fact I'll be updating it right now!

Thanks for your feedback!

Not true. It seems you can run around until a rustling bush appears without the DexNav. If you run into this patch REGARDLESS OF WHAT POKEMON APPEARS and faint what you encounter then your chain WILL CONTINUE. After that you can resume trying to search using the DexNav. This means that the only real way to break your chain is to ignore the rustling patches, leave the route, or fail to sneak up on the patch.

It's seriously hard to break a chain here in ORAS compared to when we used the PokeRadar in X/Y.

Thanks for the info!
It does seem hard to break a chain, but you have to do a lot of chains in order to find a shiny, so I guess it makes up for it.

I have edited this, and you have been credited.

You're still saying that if you don't find a Pokemon with the DexNav search that the chain is broken. I told you that this is not true but you misinterpreted my words.

This is a more inclusive version of the method:

Hey guys! I have been using this method for two days now and I already have caught a shiny vulpix and shiny KAKUNA! I highly re commend using this method. I have found that it is easy to chain on mirage islands, as they usually contain large grassy areas. The search level has nothing to do with your chances of getting a shiny; I got up to 600 on a pikachu and never caught a shiny. What I definitely have learned is that the BEST way to keep the chain going with the dexnav is to hit "search" at the same spot OUTSIDE of the grassy area after every battle, I've gone 100 without the dexnav being unable to find the pokemon this way, and every time I try to search from in the grass the chain ends. Hope this helps!

That's probably only because when you are in the grass patches you are using the DexNav Search feature when there are little or no grassy patches in the Search's 'sweet spot'. It does work in the grass as well as outside, you just need to be mindful of the location.
