What is the best shiny hunting method in Scarlet/Violet?

Question

I have been playing Pokémon violet for more than twice as long as my friend Hunter, yet he has found 3 shiny Pokémon compared to my zero. Does anyone know any good ways to get shiny Pokémon? (I won’t take breeding as an answer)

Comments

Short answer is Sparkling Power sandwiches/Outbreaks.

There are 2 good ways to get shiny Pokemon in scarlet and violet. Both ways require the shiny charm for best odds.

1. The wild method
 First you identify an outbreak of the Pokemon you want. Then you make a Sparkling Power sandwich. You can go here for recipes https://www.dexerto.com/pokemon/best-shiny-sandwich-recipes-in-pokemon-scarlet-violet-easy-recipes-for-sparkling-power-3-2007534/ . Then you go to the same outbreak you identified and destroy 60 Pokemon in the outbreak. Then despawn and respawn the Pokemon until you find a shiny. Save before catching it then catch it. with a shiny charm your odds are 1/512. Without it your odds are 1/1365.

2. The Mesuda method
To get a shiny with this method, you need other than a shiny charm but you also need to breed your Pokemon and one of the Pokemon needs to be from a different country. Then you breed the two and have a 1/512 with the shiny charm and without is 1/2048.

That doesn't answer the question.

I would answer but I don't have any experience in SV

It depends on the Pokémon. If it’s a starter Mesuda 100%. If you have the resources then do wild method to craft sandwichs. It all depends on the situation.

Ok am I the only one who's never heard of sandwiches referred to as the wild method?
