How the hunt works
Cast repeatedly from the same tile — you never need to move. Sort your rods by which one gives your target the best rate; the Good Rod table sits between the Old and Super Rod.
The base rate in Pokémon Platinum is 1 in 8,192. There is no Shiny Charm in this game, so the base rate is the best you can get. Poke Radar chaining can reach ~1/200 in grass patches.
