 There are various ways of increasing the chance of getting a Shiny Pokémon.In second-generation games, breeding a Shiny Pokémon with a regular Pokémon has a higher chance (1 in 64) of producing a Shiny Pokémon.In "Diamond", "Pearl", "Platinum", "X", and "Y", the Poké Radar can be used to "chain" Pokémon of the same species, improving the odds of a Shiny Pokémon with each link (up to 40 links, when the odds are 1 in 200).
