When {{pkmn|breeding}}, if any [[personality value]] rerolls are applied, (such as the additional shiny rolls provided via the [[Masuda method]] or [[Shiny Charm]]), the initial roll to generate a personality value is skipped.<ref>https://twitter.com/SciresM/status/1319805906691842050</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/SciresM/status/1319799153162006530</ref> | When {{pkmn|breeding}}, if any [[personality value]] rerolls are applied, (such as the additional shiny rolls provided via the [[Masuda method]] or [[Shiny Charm]]), the initial roll to generate a personality value is skipped.<ref>https://twitter.com/SciresM/status/1319805906691842050</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/SciresM/status/1319799153162006530</ref> | ||
The result is that when breeding using the Shiny Charm alone, it only provides 2 total rolls for the personality value, meaning there is approximately a 2/4096 (equal to 1/2048) chance of hatching a Shiny Pokémon. This is a reduction from prior generations where the initial roll and both rerolls are accounted for, which would provide a shiny rate of 3/4096, ( | The result is that when breeding using the Shiny Charm alone, it only provides 2 total rolls for the personality value, meaning there is approximately a 2/4096 (equal to 1/2048) chance of hatching a Shiny Pokémon.

*However, in [[Generation VIII]], due to the Masuda method providing one more reroll than in previous generations, the chance of hatching a Shiny Pokémon when using both the Shiny Charm and Masuda method is unchanged, providing 8 total rolls, (instead of the intended 9), for a Shiny rate of 8/4096 (equal to 1/512) as usual. | *However, in [[Generation VIII]], due to the Masuda method providing one more reroll than in previous generations, the chance of hatching a Shiny Pokémon when using both the Shiny Charm and Masuda method is unchanged, providing 8 total rolls, (instead of the intended 9), for a Shiny rate of 8/4096 (equal to 1/512) as usual. | ||
