Chaining PokeRadar Exclusives

[Inevitable]

So i'm trying to chain Nidoran M, on Diamond (2% chance to encounter the first), but thats not my issue.

My issue is keeping a chain of the rare PokeRadar exclusives past 25 or so. Is there some sort of trick to these compared to the others?

I follow the simple rules of:

1. Repels
2. Don't go to patches that are on edges/corners etc
3. Only go to a patch if you see 4 patches shaking
4. Go to the furthest patch, that is at LEAST 4 steps away

These ar'nt my issues really, I just can't seem to chain the rare ones on a consistant basis. If anyone has any other tips, let me know

~Also, does Pablo still post here?

Sometimes I find it better not to go to a patch that is right beside another...I've broken a few chains doing that =/

Ya, I never do that either, forgot to add that.

Yeah, Nidoran (m) is nearly impossible to chain on Diamond, but super easy to chain on Pearl. It's the other way around for the female nidoran.

Sigh ya. If it didn't take 30mins to an hour just to find One Nidoran Male, it wouldnt be so bad.


if anyone can chain a Jolly Nidoran Male for me, I have over 50 different shinies I could offer, PM me if you can/know you can do it

Use a Jolly Synchronize Ralts for it to be Jolly
