Is it true?

Question asked by mitsu on

Is it true?

Is it true that when you use the pokeradar in grass, the flashing bits of grass are more likely to be shiny pokemon? Does it really raise the chances of shiny Pokemon appearing? Has anyone got unequivocal proof of this?

By the way... What's happened? All the Supercheats Gods fallen asleep up there? No new questions for two whole days! I'm getting antsy! Think of all those poor stuck souls who are lost... Maybe they wont be able to play their games... Maybe they'll have to... I can barely say it... Maybe they'll have to... GO OUTSIDE TO PLAY!... Oh my goddess! Nooooo! ...*panting with shock* there. *exhales exhaustively* I said it. Now will someone give me an aspirin? I need a little lie-down...

The chances of using a Poke Radar in the grass and seeing some grass patches change colors are VERY slim. And when this happens, it is ALWAYS a shiny Pokemon, and it does not increase your chances of running into a shiny Pokemon [in general]. I have no physical proof, but I can't say anything against it; Dawn/Lukas hints at it themselves if you, by some chance, talk to them in Sandgem Town; they'll mention the grass changing colors, and how it's said that a Pokemon of a different color is found in that case. So I assume it's true.

The admins for this site are very, VERY busy with things going on in the site itself. So, be patient, they're doing the best they can.

:0 Wow, I never thought about it like that! In answer to your question, yes there is proof. Go to Serebii and look around. There should be an article on that. Hope I Helped!

Well frankly, I don't believe so. And just so you know there is really no way to get unequivocal proof of it unless it gives you significantly greater odds something more like 1/100 might show but if it changes to 1/5000 no one will ever notice. When you say flashing, you mean the grass that rustles I'm assuming, and that is just to show that there is a Pokemon there 100% of the time. Rumors have it that sometimes the grass will flash different colours indicating a shiny is around, but I will not believe that until I see it. So in conclusion it is my informed opinion that generally the pokeradar really is essentially unrelated to the chances of finding a shiny pokemon.
And yes I noticed too the lack of updates and trivia did you know that aspirin is also called actylsalicylic acid (ASA)?

I hear that the ods of catching a shint is 1/18000 or 1/1800 sory for not having the exact details but if the grass does it is because theres a shiny there ut I only cought 1 shiny Pokemon and that was without using the pokeradar.Now I use it alot and I havnt come across a shiny once...
