[Guide] THE HUNT IS ON! An In-depth Guide on Pokeradar and HAs Hunting [Ver. 2.0].

I will say that I'm VERY glad I read this before trying to go on another Duplicat-hunting run. A 5% chance for ONE 31 IV stat at a 40 chain?!? HA! That's not even remotely CLOSE to worth trying to build up a 40 chain when I'm lucky to get 20! Better to catch every one that I can and just pray to RNJesus. Especially since I've already gotten like 3 2-IV-Stat Duplicats and one with 30 in Speed, Sp DEF, and Sp ATK. without even breaking 30.

Also not quite accurate.  If the 5% "improved IV" chance lands, it will take one random IV that is less than 30 and change it to a 31.  The key point is that it does this regardless of if there are already 31's there, so not only do you get more 1IV's in general, but it also raises your overall chances of getting 2IV+ mons.  Maxing your chain also gives you better shiny odds (bested only by Masuda Method breeding), so there's additional motivation to aim for a max chain.

Still, the odds of getting even a single 31 IV stat are ridiculous enough on their own. Just breaking into a TWENTY chain is a monumentally ass-blasting bitchaloid of a task. Proposing getting a 40, keeping it, getting an only 5% chance for ONE stat to be boosted, then praying to RNJesus on top of all that that it just so happens to coincide with an encounter with one that already has one or more 31 IVs AND that it doesn't take away from a potentially beneficial 30 stat for Hidden Power breeding?!? That's like telling someone they could win a $500 lottery if they buy a normal ticket but it has the same odds as a normal lottery ticket, you have to recite 300 digits of Pi backwards the second you wake up within 3 minutes every morning while doing backflips, and all the judges watching to see if you succeed are narcoleptic so even if you do everything perfectly 99% of the time your efforts will be completely invalidated (because my success rate even while following all the steps has been 1 in like 300 for getting a 40+ chain, 1 in 300 for getting a 30+ chain, and maybe 3 in 300 TOPS for a 20+ chain.)

Besides, Shiny Pokemon are just an interesting novelty, and I've already got like 6 damn shiny Duplicats anyway. Not to mention all the others I've gotten over time.
