Quick overview & how to use this planner
This tool uses documented SV shiny rates (base 1/4096) and the common community / guide tables for stacking boosts (Shiny Charm, Sparkling Power sandwiches, Mass Outbreak chains, and the Masuda breeding method). It shows odds per encounter, expected encounters (mean), and both mean and median time (minutes) to get a shiny at your chosen encounter rate (resets/encounters per hour).
Core referenced rates: base shiny = 1/4096. Shiny Charm, Sparkling Power (Lv1–3), Mass Outbreak chains, and Masuda method values are documented in community guides and tracking sites. See references below for the exact per-method tables. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Shiny Charm requires completing the Pokédex and gives extra shiny "rolls".
Estimate how many distinct encounters or egg hatch attempts you can do per hour (wild spawns, outbreak clears, or egg hatches per hour).

These results approximate the community-documented rates and stack combinations (Shiny Charm, Sparkling Power, Mass Outbreak chains, Masuda method). They are probabilistic expectations — actual run times vary by RNG luck. See sources for the official community tables. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
