Pokeradar confusion in diamond?

Question

Ok. I decided to use my pokeradar to find a shiny for the first time, and after chaining ten shellos, I found a shiny... buizel. Is that supposed to happen sometimes, because ive heard of similar things happening to other people too.

Answer 1

No, that's not supposed to happen. However, it is possible considering that your chain may have broke by encountering a different Pokemon and you encountered a shiny not part of the chain you were just in.

Just take it.

Happy I got the shiny though.

Did I do something wrong?

No, Scraf is just being a troll

ok thanks. i hid the first one but i'll reshow it again

Answer 2

Your chain broke, and you randomly ran into a shiny Buitzel (with the usual 1/8196 chance of it happening). that is the only reasonable explanation other than your game glitching out.
