I wanna know and see how lucky I am to spend many hours trying to get one. Please show formula too so I can use it to my advantage.

Do you have the Shiny Charm, Mark Charm, or both?
Which game? I'm guessing Gen 8?

Also, it's very likely your shiny has had Pokerus spread to it.

Assuming Gen 8 since Pokerus doesn't exist in Gen 9:

Wild Shiny: 1/4096
Wild Shiny w/Charm: 1/1365
Wild Pokerus encounter: 1/21845
Wild Uncommon Mark: 1/100

No charm Shiny Pokerus Uncommon Mark:
4,096 • 21,845 • 100 = 1/8,947,712,000

With charm:
1,365 • 21,845 • 100 = 1/2,981,842,500


For the record, the chance of finding a specific pattern of Spinda is 1/4,294,967,295.

MonkeyBusiness would not recommend.

By my (Honestly likely wrong, these numbers seem a bit higher than I would expect) calculations, these are the numbers.
21,845 ÷ 50 ÷ 4,096 = 0.106 (No Shiny Or Mark Charm)
21,845 ÷ 16.6 ÷ 4,096 = 0.321 (With Mark Charm)
21,845 ÷ 50 ÷ 1,365 = 0.320 (With Shiny Charm)
21,845 ÷ 16.6 ÷ 1,365 = 0.964 (With Shiny Charm & Mark Charm
It is very likely however, that your shiny instead was given Pokérus by another Pokémon in which case the odds are something someone else can calculate or myself in the future, it wasn't specified, so until further notice, that's it.

Hope this helps you!

Source: Easily accessible numbers and math. Nobody can say this isn't an actual source. Right?

Is it possible you could put these in a fraction somehow?
.964 what...? A 96.4% chance of this happening? Either way, I don't think there's math was done right. It should be multiplication, no?
