Does anyone know if switching rods breaks the chain?

That's a good question! I don't think I've ever tried switching rods during a chain. I wouldn't think that would break it, but I don't know!

I hope it doesn't cos I accidentally used my super rod instead of good rod chaining for shiny feebas

Let me know if you are able to figure it out! And good luck with the shiny feebas hunting! Because you can get 100% feebas attraction, they are fairly easy to come across. I have four

Yeah it looks like sick lol, I'm trying normal shiny chaining now but it seems to take so much longer

It takes a LONG time to DexNav chain. I usually end up having my chain break before I come across a shiny. My longest chain without a shiny was close to 200 Now that I have the shiny charm, I'm hoping it might be a little easier. I'd really like to catch a shiny oddish to evolve into a shiny bellossom. The flowers are gorgeous on the shiny version

Shiny bellossom is so nice I agree! I managed to get a shiny marill and evolve it into Azumaril which looks great in yellow!

You may be wondering, "What in the world is shiny fishing?". Hi, my name is Cordell and I'm here to tell you all about it.


Chain Fishing is a method of finding shiny Pokemon by consecutively fishing in the same spot over and over. Each consecutive time you get a bite from a wild Pokemon while fishing at the same spot, your chance of encountering a shiny Pokemon increases. This is called a chain.

Breaking A Chain
When a chain is broken, the probability of finding a shiny Pokemon resets. There are a few things that will break a chain. If you move from the spot you are positioned in, you break the chain. If you pull up your fishing rod too early or too late, the chain breaks. And lastly if you get the message "nothing seems to be biting", the chain has been broken.

How Can I Improve My Chances Of Landing A Pokemon?
There are two things that can be done to make sure you land a Pokemon, and that you don't get the "nothing seems to be biting" message. It's recommended that you have a Pokemon that has the Suction Cups ability or the Sticky Hold ability in the first slot of your party. Doing this increases your chances of getting a bite while fishing. It is also recommended that you fish in an enclosed area, as this also increases the odds of getting bites consecutively.

Come Prepared!
So what good is finding a shiny Pokemon if you can't catch it? Bring supplies such as net balls,ultra balls,and quick balls. Be sure to bring along a Pokemon with false swipe so you can weaken the shiny.

Good Luck!
That's it for now! Let me know how you liked my guide and feel free to ask any questions.




Until next time, Cordell
