How much easier is it to Shiny hunt with Shiny Charm than without it?
Jan. 16, 2018I’m trying to get the Shiny Charm, but I really want to shiny hunt. Which one should I do? This is USUM, but I don’t know if that matters.

The shiny charm multiplies the shiny chance by 3, so in most cases you can expect shiny hunting to take 1/3 as much time as it would without the shiny charm.source
In Gen 7, the base chance is still1/4096and boosted to approximately1/1365.
4/4096(without charm) vs.6/4096(with charm).
Therefore, with the shiny charm, it increases the probability by50%(1.5x). However, since we’re talking about two still very low scales, you should really look at it as an increase from approximately 0.0977% to 0.146% chance (where both are still less than 1%).
Hope I helped! :)
