3,800+ Random Encounters and no shiny TnT

And after reading the official SwSh website, I know that with 500 battled and shiny charm I have a 1/512 chance for a shiny. Serebii and bulbapedia have the wrong info from back when people were trying to read the datamines. Unfortunately they misinterpreted the Brilliant Pokémon odds associated with fishing and thought it was part of the shiny odds.

I did end up finally getting a shiny. Took a ridiculously long time tho. Haven’t had time to shiny hunt in SwSh recently tho.
