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
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.
Differences between Normal and Premium Users
The Pokéradar presents some differences depending on if you are a normal or premium user.
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 run out of charge once you hatch a Shiny or if the chain is reset, and you will need to purchase new batteries with 50,000 Pokédollars
, 50 
small nuggets or 50 
electric gems if you wish to use it again. The chain will reset to 0 once a shiny is hatched.
Premium users
- The maximum chance of hatching a Shiny is 2.5% (1 out of 40).
- The battery has unlimited power, which means that the chain will not reset when a Shiny hatches and the battery does not have to be recharged.
Notes
You can still hatch a Shiny without using a Pokéradar, but you will need a lot of luck because the chance is very low; however, 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.
Extra Features
Changing PokéRadar Color
You can change the color of your PokéRadar when you click on the artwork. You have the choice between red, blue, purple, and green.
