I Used the Pokeradar for 100 Hours in Pokemon Platinum
Ойындар
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 :)

Dude how do I get shiny Mareep with the Poke Radar technique in OG Pearl bc the furthest chain I've gotten with Mareep is 16 and just when I think its in the same shaking grass I end up encoutering Buizel or Pachirisu ruining my chain
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.

Confuse ray has 100% accuracy, which is why it was landing so often at Fantina’s Gym. If you were using double team on Staravia and it kept landing, that’s just unlucky.
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

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.

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

The MOMENT you said you’d chain Eevee my heart dropped into my stomach. That hunt nearly killed me with how many times my chain broke.
John and Matt together was such a wholesome moment 🥰
So it definitely seems like he’s going for a shiny living dex since he was catching multiples to evolve into full lines, can’t wait for that video to come out it’s gonna be a banger as all JohnStone videos are! Glad to see my favorite Pokémon in this video! Hoping to catch some streams for the black 2 medals 😁
"Babe wake up, Johnstone just posted"
Nice job Guiness, and great job John! Loved this challenge and watching the uniqueness of it!
NICE JOB GUINNESS :) John's videos get better every time :D I love that he streams the making of them :)
I love your videos so much, this must have taken a lot of time and effort, well done! Well narrated and edited, super enjoyable to watch!
God the OG “There it is!” video is legendary.
Thanks for the amazing video! The shiny sound is just so good in gen 4 and you’re so right, some sprites are so perfect in 2D, especially shiny ones
You have my respect. Put A LOT of work in this video, as always
39:54 the amount to happy and wholesome vibes i got from this, only for them to be completely snatched away will forever scar me
You honestly make the best pokemon/ shiny vids. Been subscribed for years and I don’t really comment but wanted to let you know now haha. Keep it up
the radar streams were so fun to watch. Ty for another banger video john :)
i was just checking your channel yesterday, thought it had been about enough time for one video. Keep it up!
I'm so ready for this video! I was always awful at using the radar >.
just a minor correction about BDSP time travel, you actually can time skip for trophy garden (and swarms) in BDSP. it requires changing your time zone (with time set to automatically sync) as changing the clock in this way does not trigger the time travel protection, and you can just set it to the next day before reopening the game, changing it back to the previous day while the game is running, saving, and repeating. it's essential for BDSP CEA.

Alternatively, in the DS versions you could just save in front of Backlot, talk to him, and soft-reset until he says the Pokemon you want.
I just caught my very first shiny in 13 years that wasn’t a Gyarados while listening to this video. Thank you so much for the help, John. And for the video in general, that was fun.
Been watching you for a while but holy wow dude you are one of the greats. Unique challenge, great narration and *chefs kiss* gen 4 shinies. Kudos to you JOHN, KUDOS TO YOU!
Wow Bro! I am really feeling inspired and motivated watching your videos and all the effort you put into them! Congrats in all the challenges you've completed and the ones to come! 🔥🤩
Nice job Guinness!! Also on a side note I really enjoyed this video! ❤ it is really well made and fun to watch! When you said that the wurmple had no thoughts it made me laugh a lot :) thank you for making my day a better one ❤
Johnstone always has a challenge I would never think about. Thank you for the video=)
15:46 if anyone's wondering who the person in the video is... that's Abenzio499 (Or AbenzioSH as he renamed his channel before utlimately deleting it). He's a former shiny hunter, and has been out of the community for almost a decade now. His Ponyta took a little over 25,000 REs.
Whenever I watch your videos I walk a fine line between omg I want MOar! and the respect I have for the time and dedication it takes to make these videos. In both cases; you're awesome!
This was great. Really cool to see how many you can get by getting used to the radar. My first shiny was a wobuffett with the radar and I love these sprites.
All the videos and guides i've seen on the Pokéradar with no clarity on how to make it work reasonably consistently, and this dude just says "Go to the shaking patch 4 steps away" and it instantly made clear how to do it
THUMBNAIL ART?! That's how you know you've evolved as a KZreadr this is awesome to see. ^_^
He's actually insane, thank you for another banger of a video
I swear John is the most consistently funny and entertaining content creator there is out there
I like how in some areas, part of the challenge is the color of the tiles or how the scenery affects the colors of the grass patches. That's something I did not expect from this challenge and a cool thing for you to highlight
YESSS IVE BEEN BUSY DURING THE STREAMS AND COULDNT WAIT FOR THIS
My problem with chaining is always that I can't absorb all the patches at once. Like, I'm very bad at looking at things and processing what I'm seeing

Congrats for all the shiny critters 😁✨ I believe, for the snow route, there are a few specific days where the weather actually clears up ! ;)
Awesome video. It motivated me to start some pokeradar chaining myself. I am in the same boat, as a kid I always thought it was fascinating but I was certainly too dumb to properly execute it. Slight correction/clarification though for anyone who is interested: Edge and corner patches don't have a higher chance to break the chain per se, just that AFTER the encounter you can become unlucky and all 4 grass patches would theoretically fall outside of the grass area breaking the chain as a consequence, because there is no visible shaking grass around. Since the 4 patches summon in a grid around you, if you are fully surrounded by grass the immediate 8 patches directly around you will always spawn another shaking grass patch and give you the chance to reset the pokeradar withouth breaking the chain. I found that sometimes the risk is worth it to go for an edge piece in order to not lose the additional 10 percent you get from catching a pokemon since you revert back to the 88 % when resetting the radar.
You are an absolute G for doing this, much love
He is definitely a madman... Huge respect, bro!!
So glad you showing off the dual-slot gba dongle Pokémon. Such an under appreciated feature!
Honestly I gotta try this out! I know radar chaining is such a pain but you got really lucky and so many good shinies!
Great job Guinness! Keep up the stellar work!
Love to see you back :)
Guinness did great, MatthewBlogsPokermanz did great, Marill did great, Johnstone did great! This was an amazing level 100 gauntlet dude! GGz on finding the rarest shinies in any game with those Spinda. Truly buildt different, like and subscribe! Another big video in the books!
Nice job Guinness, truly inspirational!
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.
seeing my two favorite Pokémon KZreadrs sitting next to each other is *chefs kiss*
Maril was actually my first shiny in the safari zone in the original Pokémon diamond so it holds a special place in my heart
John has just suddenly gotten into shinies and im here for it!

Oh, did John shiny hunt all the Eevelutions? Neat. I did the same in Route 10 of Kalos in Pokémon X ;)
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_
Missed seeing your videos :’)
I love the perfectly cut 'e' at the end of the video. That's a lot of shinies ngl
i'm 90% sure there's at least one day out of the year where instead of a blizzard that one route is just normal snow
