I Used the Pokeradar for 100 Hours in Pokemon Platinum

In Pokemon Platinum, the Pokeradar is by far the most confusing shiny hunting method in the franchise... but if you know how to use it, you can catch an absurd amount of shinies. I spent 100 hours using the Pokeradar in Pokemon Platinum to see how easy you can master it. This video took a lot of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with a friend. If you have any suggestions for the next video, leave it in the comments below! Have a great day :)

For resetting the trophy garden pokemon you don't actually have to change your system clock, all you have to do is just save before you talk to mr. Backlot, then soft reset until you get the pokemon you want. I've done it several times. Hope this helps for future videos.

@zuthalsoraniz6764 Жыл бұрын

4:05 88% vs 98% might seem a small difference But hitting a 98% chance 39 times in a row (to get to a chain of 40) is about 45% odds, vs only 0.7% for hitting an 88% chance 39 times in a row

@ooSyzygy Жыл бұрын

also if im not mistaken he said it backwards, or switched them. is it suppoused to be 88% chance for killing, 98% for catching? bc killing is faster, and he said it was the better odds. so that part maade no sense to me.

@braxinIV Жыл бұрын

Fun Fact, every single route has a decent sized chunk of grass specifically for radar hunting. They designed the routes for this mechanic. There is only one section I can think of that isn't like this and has a radar exclusive Pokemon being Sunkern. That is on Route 204 North which has no good patch of grass to hunt in making it near impossible to actually get a chain up. Hell, when I radar hunted Sunkern, I got lucky and got a shiny patch on an 18 chain

So here's a nice tip that probably might have a bit a massive difference. Cute charm has an odd quirk related to pokeradar shiny chaining. In platinum _specifically,_ if your secret ID matches a certain set of numbers of a pokemon's ivs with cute charm, the pokeradar's chance of spawning a shiny is cut in half. This is because the pokemon instead of focusing on the male gender, the game forces the gender to be female, or vice versa, similar to how the love ball was broken in gen 2 to the same species and _gender_

I tried figuring out this crap a few years back in X and Y and just couldn't get it down, even with guides. The first 10 minutes of this video explained it better than anything else I ever found and now I've gotten 4 shinies in 3 hours through Poké Radar. I now suddenly hate that this video didn't come out in 2019 because it would've saved me a lot of time, and an immense amount of patience.
