Results from Dive Ball Nidoran M Chaining:
Location: Route 201
Chain Length: 152 (40 Normal + 112 Shinies.)
Cause of Chain Termination: Edge-of-Grass Shiny Pokemon spot.

Shiny Pokemon Obtained:
I'd kill the page if I listed.

Brace yourselves, ye who dwell in the LWIB thread... brace yourselves.
 
Do you guys define a quadrant as in the 1 zone, 2 zone, 3 zone and the 4 zone rings? Sorry if this is a simple question:(
Nope. Quadrant refers to NE, SE, NW, ans SW, like your X-Y coordinate plane.

Oh wow!!! This is going to help in chaining, thanks Lorak:) Anymore helpful hints that you use/ always follow when chaining?
 
Lorak - Well done, my friend, congrats, I can't wait to see the best of them. Hopefully you don't get ratfucked by IV's like I did. Nice Quadrant btw! :)

Dexterity - If it's not already too late I'd go Jolly, as you don't need any egg moves or Hidden Power to pull off that set... if not though, I've been wanting to do Jolly anyhow.

They aren't very good. The three best Rash are Rivalry, not Poison Point.

And I just checked this Adamant:
Adamant M Nidoran (PP): 2 - 3 / 26 - 27 / 28 - 29 / 30 - 31 / 31 / 24 - 25

Don't get greedy and grab edge shinies if you want an amazing chain. If you have all 8 grass in a box around the shiny spot, you're safe to continue the chain, no matter what.
 
That sucks! There not a whole lot more disappointing than shitty results on a chain. For one, it took a lot of time and work. For two, you caught a huge amount of shinies and still didn't get what you wanted, so now you wonder what amount could possibly assure you of success. Bah, frustrating, I feel your pain, especially since you're also talking to the guy who bred a flawless Adamant Rivalry Nidoking.

The answer is 17. I need to catch exactly 17. :S And I caught way too many to go back to 17.
 
What? Why 17? Is that what number you had success with before?
17 is how many shinies I had encountered on the Beldum chain (catching 7 of them total) plus one. That would have set it as my new record for chain length. Or I'm just pulling the number out of my Xatu's coat.
 
What do you mean by 8 grass surrounding the shiny patch? Like this:
PPP
PSP
PPP

S=Shiny Patch
P=Non-wiggling grass

Also, currently have captured 4 shiny NidoranF:) Still going, also you're saying that chainers shouldn't enter shiny edge patches because I've already entered one edge shiny and it still continued my chain but I'm guessing I shouldn't enter those anymore, correct?

EDIT: Also catching NidoranF in Quick Balls, any suggested ball they should be captured in?
 
Depends on if you want to take the risk. Nidoran is 20% max so I probably wouldn't. Luxury and Dive look quite good.

@Diesel, I don't know how you got that Amazing Adamant Metagross(which is in masterball unfortunately) of yours but I've gotten to a max of 80 in the sandstorm. I made 3 chains all the way to 40. First one broke at 2 shinies because of my foolishness and second one was an corner shiny which I shouldn't have taken. Also the distortion from the sand really hurts the eyes. =\

Edge shinies are fine, if you don't mind the chance of your chain breaking. Observe the following:


4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
4 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4
4 3 2 2 2 2 2 3 4
4 3 2 1 1 1 2 3 4
4 3 2 1 S 1 2 3 4
4 3 2 1 1 1 2 3 4
4 3 2 2 2 2 2 3 4
4 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4

This is a shiny patch on the edge, under the best of circumstances. Notice that there is a 3/8 chance of your 1 patch falling outside of the grass, a 7/16 chance of your 2 patch, a 11/24 of your 3, and a 15/32 of your 4. (If I miscounted, sorry.) The odds of all 4 patches being in the red are 3465/98304, or a ~3.5% chance. (Fraction = .035247802734375.) That 3.5% is what killed my two chains, the 43 and the 152-long. (Was starting to get low on Supers, still had my regular Repels left, and a decent stock of Dive Balls and Leppa Berries.)

*EDITS with a few more formations and calcs*:

With all 1 patches in grass (not on edge), break chance is 0. (0/8 * anything = 0)

Get 3D specs. xD
 
Also this may sound like a dumb question but does the origin of the x-y axis the same place where you are resetting at?

EDIT: Chain broke at 48 due to an edge shiny patch:( Never enter them again!!! Anyway here are the 6 shiny NidoranF's IVs:

NidoranF@Brave in Dive Ball: 26/9/10/17/26/5
NidoranF@Impish : 30/22/29/3/2/22
NidoranF@Docile: 14/0/0/0/0/0
NidoranF@Jolly: 18/12/20/11/3/31
NidoranF@Gentle in Dive Ball: 14/12/1/31/11/12
NidoranF@Naughty: 15/11/18/5/12/16

IVs in order: HP/Atk/Def/Sp. Atk./Sp. Def./Spd.

I think first is pretty good but nature hinders it but 2nd one has a good nature according to the analysis and good IVs except sp. atk. and sp. def. Thoughts?

Yes, origin is where standing.

Told'ya. :P

Can't help too much with the stats. Impish looks good, don't worry about Sp.Atk. with its nature.
 
I just started chaining numel today. I really want a shiny camerupt. Currently I'm on 12, so I'm hoping to pull something nice. :P
 
Yeah I know you told me never to enter an edge shiny patch and now I'm never doing that again and also thanks for the edges' calculations of breaking my chain:)
 
well i was on route 222 today chaining floatzels. I was chaining them on the normal patches with no sparkel. Well i accidently went into a sparkly patch that wasent 4 away and my chain continued, but now i was chaining in the sparkly grass.

So i was wondering why this happened and has it happened to anyone else?

Also Shelcario were you using a syncher?
 
A syncher for the NidoranF, no I wasn't as I didn't have a Impish Synchronizer:( Answer to your question is that sometimes very rarely your chain pokemon can change patch types and I've experienced this with Geodude chains. Hope this helps:)

EDIT: Ball to catch shiny Swellow in?

There's no reason, it just does, as if you started on sparkly. Just be glad you didn't break it. xD
 
Well ive gotten 5 shiny floatzels so far and i think i will try shooting for the record, if there is one. i have plenty of repels and lots of poke balls.

I also have over 5 boxes empty, and what broke lorak chain wont brake mine since im in a very big area so it almost never gets edge ones unless i reset in a bad spot. Ive also read about all your chains breaking off of it so im not even going to go for it if one even appears on the edge.

Also is the odds of a shiny appearing the same at a chain of 40 as it is 80? Since in the guide it says your odds are maximized at 40.
