Pokéradar

The Pokéradar is an item used for Shiny hunting. It records a chain of a Pokémon of the same species that you have hatched in a row.

Getting the Pokéradar

You can buy the Pokéradar in the shop, at the cost of 150,000 Pokédollars or 5 big nuggets.

Using the Pokéradar

How to access

You can access your Pokéradar by hovering over the Home tab, located at the top of every page, provided you have bought it previously at the Item Shop.

How it works

An active Pokéradar

To create a Pokéradar chain, turn it on and hatch the same kind of egg repeatedly, in a row, to increase the chances of hatching a Shiny. The maximum chance of hatching a Shiny is reached after hatching 40 eggs. This chain resets if you hatch a different Pokémon.
Multiple forms are affected to this. For example, if you are hunting Shellos (West) and you hatch a Shellos (East), it will count as a different Pokémon and the chain will reset.

Note: Only eggs obtained from the Lab, Daycare, Tall Grass or the Gem collector will count towards your chain, so eggs obtained through other means will not reset your chain if you hatch them.

That said, the Pokéradar presents some differences depending if you are a normal or premium user.

Differences between Normal and Premium Users

Recharging a Pokéradar battery

Normal users

• The maximum chance of hatching a Shiny is 1.25% (1 out of 80).
• The battery is quite unstable for this radar; the Pokéradar will be out of charge once you hatch a Shiny or if you reset your chain, and you'll need to buy new batteries with 50,000 Pokédollars , 50 small nuggets or 50 electric gems if you wish to use it again. The chain will start back from 0 every time.

Premium users

• The maximum chance of hatching a Shiny is 2.5% (1 out of 40).
• The battery has unlimited power, meaning that the chain will not reset when hatching a Shiny and the battery doesn't have to be recharged again.

Notes

You can still hatch a Shiny without using a Pokéradar, but this chance is very low, so you will need a lot of luck (This chance is slightly increased if you are a Premium member).
The Pokéradar doesn't guarantee that you will hatch a Shiny, although, you probably have a lot of bad luck if you don't hatch a Shiny after a long chain.
