Sword and Shield The Shiny Chaining version involves fighting the same Pokémon over and over again to increase the chances of getting a Shiny. There is another way to improve your chances of getting a Shiny; Masuda Egg Farming Method.
How To Get Shiny Pokemon Using The Masuda Method To Raise Eggs With Sword And Shield
Currently, to get Shiny Pokemon, you can chain together fighting the same type of Pokemon over and over again to increase your percentage chance of getting a Shiny. The Masuda Method revolves around breeding two Pokémon of the same species and group of eggs, but of different sex, and from different regions. Not regions in the game, but regions in the real world. The method will also work with Metamorph and Starters.
For example, you can breed an English Pikachu with a Pikachu of the opposite sex from Japan, which will increase the chances of that Pokemon being a shiny. The Pokémon you are raised with must have a different "native language", while at least one of them must have the same native language as the region in which you purchased your game. The reason for What it works is that the game will recognize the two Pokémon having different languages and then attempt to find the personality values of the offspring Pokémon giving rise to a Shiny.
This method will also stack with the shiny charm. The standard chance of getting a shiny is between 1 in 2000 and 1 in 4000. By completing your Pokedex and getting a shiny charm, the odds can drop between 1 in 600 and 1 in 1000. So still hard to get , but more acceptable than without it. So, if you are serious about getting Shiny Pokemon, now is the time to start trading with other trainers around the world.
