Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

PokeRadar shinies! Best method ever!

Yesterday night the weirdest thing happenned to me, I had only heard about this occurrance but had never seen it myself. While on a 41 chain of Zubat, having already cuaght 1 shiny at 40, after ressetting the Radar I saw TWO shiny patches at the same time out of the 4 rustling. I was amazed lol and couldnt decide which one to go to, but in the end opted for the one on the edge rather than the other one in a corner, as I wanted at least 3 to have 1 for each evolution, and on the edge it is less likely to break than on a corner. I did manage to get all 3 and then continued to chain up until it broke, and got to 50.

I have been tyring to chain Sentret on and off for a week now and STILL haven't reached 40, my highest so far has been 34 =( so frustrating!
 
today I was voltorb-chaining, I followed the guide and did everything(I think XD) I had a pokemon with static in the front and arrived to 40, at that point, I didnt see a shiny patch so I moved to reset the radar, and immediately after, the music changed back to normal and my chain was gone, is there a reason why this happened?
 
Forgive me if I missed this: how does one "reset" the radar? Leaving the grass patch and running around. setting the chain back to 0?

I wouldn't recommend that. Resetting the radar usually means using the pokeradar again during a chain.

But... can't you only do that once? After all, it takes 50 steps to recharge... And I thought that if you run for a while in the grass even with a Repel on that the chain'll break before you can use it again.
 
Nope. Time has no effect on the chain, and neither do steps. (as long as you don't ride your bike) If you get too far away from the grass that wiggled, the chain will break. If a wild pokemon just appears in the grass like normal and not from the radar, the chain would break (which won't happen as long as you keep a repel in effect and a high level pokemon in the first slot of your party). And obviously, stepping on the wrong patch of grass that moved and seeing a pokemon that's not the kind you're chaining breaks the chain. My advice is just walk back and forth between 2 pieces of grass until the radar is recharged. You can do that as many times as you want.

Yea the same thing happened to me. Too lazy to look for my post.
 
Okay, a few questions about resetting:

I'm trying to catch a shiny Wobby at Lake Valor. I start chaining, and then don't see a patch that matches the ones I've been going to. I walk enough to reset the radar, and fire it off again. I see 3 patches that match the ones I've been going to. Which one do I go to? The furthest? Is there a minimum distance that I should be looking for?

Good luck on getting the creepy lipstick Pokemon, not referring to Jynx, of course. She's in a league all her own...
 
Pythagoras Theorem does apply to this, I made a whole post explaining this a few pages back. A rustling grass 4 patches away horizontally is FARTHER away than a patch that is 2 patches east 3 north, even though you go through 5 patches total.
