Look At What I Chained

Today, seeing as it's absolutly bucketing down at 10 AM and there's no chance of me having to do anything today with my father away on a buisness trip I'm going to attempt to chain a Houndour with a good Hidden Power. I'll be happy if I get anything even mentioned in the analysis. Inc FIght / Ice / Grass / Elec / Ground. BTW it's timid + Flash fire hopefully.
Thanks all, I'm glad it's helpful. I know how frustrating it is to just not *get* how to do all this.
If you'd like me to make another graphic like the first one, where it's an actual screen shot from in game I'd be happy to do so. If someone can provide a clear *crisp* screen shot I'll get to it. :)
PS: I hate bagon chaining. I fail. A lot. :(

Hey guys, I chained an amazing Ditto yesterday. And since I feel really happy, you guys should take a look.
Timid Ditto!
IVs: 31/30/30/26/10/8
The nature kinda doesn't match, but 3 near-flawless! I'm so fucking lucky. This seems like a good idea for an HP Ice Jolteon or something.

Can you all help me? I can't seem to chain dittos. I go to the route where Serebii says (Route 218) and I turn on the PokeRadar and go into the 4-Away patches, but I just get Floatzel.
Why is that? Why can't I get Ditto?

What do those look like?
I'm having a horrible time at chaining, here's my failed efforts:
Larvitar: Broke at a chain of 4(I think these little buggers are the hardest to chain)
Geodude: Broke at a chain of 21(it broke even though it was the same type of patch it appeared in before, and it was a 4 away, and the other 3 patches were of the common type. I don't understand why this one broke.)
Nidoran(female): Broke at a chain of 17(and yes it was a 4 away patch and of the same type)
That's my horrible luck of the day, will keep trying though, this time while remembering Diesel's guide:)

I have a lot of trouble with Pokéradar Pokémon... The best I've got was 17 Spoinks, and that was a swarm I believe. Anyway, I'm hoping to get a Roselia soon... I got my chain up to 20 before it broke. I'm doing pretty well, I could never get more than 17 before finding this guide.
@Shelcario: Check the 'cluster' and 'isolated' sections of the guide... that might be the problem. Sometimes patches on the very edges break the chain for no reason. -shakes fist- I'm chaining at the Trophy Garden.
A random peice of info that mos of you probably know, you can tell if your chain is going to break before the battle actually starts by glancing at the bottom screen, where it shows the number of Pokémon you've chained. If the number blinks away at the last second before the battle, you know you've broken your chain.
Also, I find it helps to stare at a sprite of the shiny you want to get if you get discouraged... after taking a break, of course. It motivates me. xD

Ok, i have a quick question:
One of my favorite pokemon is Teddiursa; and i would really like to get a shiny one. However, one of the games stolen from me was my Emerald version, which leads to my question, is there any way to chain for a teddiursa without Emerald? Thank you.

maybe... depends if I enter SBP this month. School holidays coming up so unless I get a flood of chaining jobs I may do at least one more.
I knew I should have tried chaining Skarmorys that day instead...
