In {{g|Sword and Shield}} the following types of encounters are unaffected by the Shiny Charm: The [[Legendary titans]], [[Motostoke Gym]] Pokémon, [[fossil]]s, [[curry]] encounters, [[Pokémon Den]]s, Regina's [[in-game trade#The_Isle_of_Armor|ingame-trade]] Pokémon, and scripted encounters such as the [[Glimwood Tangle#Wanderers|Glimwood Tangle]] {{p|Impidimp}}.<ref>https://skadiv.github.io/guides/swsh/</ref> | In {{g|Sword and Shield}} the following types of encounters are unaffected by the Shiny Charm: The [[Legendary titans]], [[Motostoke Gym]] Pokémon, [[fossil]]s, [[curry]] encounters, [[Pokémon Den]]s, Regina's [[in-game trade#The_Isle_of_Armor|ingame-trade]] Pokémon, and scripted encounters such as the [[Glimwood Tangle#Wanderers|Glimwood Tangle]] {{p|Impidimp}}.<ref>https://skadiv.github.io/guides/swsh/</ref> | ||
Due to a bug, 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> | Due to a [[List of glitches (Generation VIII)#Pokémon Egg Shiny Roll bug|bug]], 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, (approximately 1/1365). | 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.
