Random Shiny Pokémon seem to be so much more common on these games for me! I’ve got 3 before the 7th gym! I got 2 on my last play through too!!

I’ve been playing Pokémon for 20 years and before Scarlet and Violet I’d come across 1 random shiny encounter in all that time (Swablu on Pokémon Y) I’ve come across these 3 in the last week alone on Scarlet!!
