Is the shiny charm description wrong?

Question

The description of it says "A shiny charm said to increase the chance of finding a Shiny Pokémon in the wild." Does this mean the description is wrong? We know the shiny charm also increases the chance of finding shinies through breeding, not only in the wild. Is it just me or what?

Comments

Flavor text is pretty much expected to be inaccurate. Many game mechanics are simply too complicated to be described in one sentence.

It's not wrong, it just didn't give the whole... how do you say it... effect.
