I've been around this block a thousand times already, so I don't think there's anything else that's out there that I don't know, but I'm gonna ask it here.
Yesterday and today, I've been trying to chain Bronzor. I want one of those shiny to complement my team, as there's a huge hole there and a Bronzong would fit it nicely.
I assume the only place to chain Bronzor is on Bicycle Road (or whatever they call it in D/P), or at least, underneath it. At first I thought the patch of grass that was there was awkward to work around, but I have soon found out that it's my least problem.
For some Pokemon that's to be listed as "Common", Bronzor is sure as hell ain't common. All I seem to find over and over and OVER AGAIN is Ponytas.
Chaining isn't the problem. It's finding the stupid thing. I've been able to get up to about 12 and 14 sometimes before a Stunky (still swamped by Ponytas so I'm not mad at him) or a friggen Ponyta breaks it, and sometimes it would break even if I followed the "rules".
That last time I got 14, but my foolishness of "ok hurry what we have isn't enough" got in the way and a "almost" got into the way and the chain broke.
But as I said before,that's not the problem. Want to hear just how bad it is?
I went through 1000 steps once at the 50 Radar increments and not a single Bronzor. It was 90% Ponytas.
And that's a shame. I've met up with almost as many Baltoy as I have Bronzor when trying to start a chain.
Right now I'm just really frustrated as it's probably wanting to get revenge on me for Thanksgiving when I got shiny Absol and the day after with 5 shiny Nincadas.
Because Bronzor shouldn't be THIS hard to find..... and nothing else fits quite like Bronzong on my team, or I need it the most.
I've threated to throw my DS a few times already. XD
I'm assuming there's nothing you can do to help me; I'll just have to "try, try again"....
Maybe shinies are like magnets or something and they repel each other. I have my shiny Sheddy out front getting EXP to try and get EXP. points (Lv. 42 right now) but at this rate..... lol.............
edit: Actually I have a dead synchro-er out front. But it doesn't matter. o.O;
I have another question...
Which would Bronzor appear in most? Common Grass or Rare Grass? (Rare grass being the white shake stuff)
For me, from what I'VE experienced, it doesn't matter, Ponyta's gonna come up anyway...
