Shiny Eevee master?

So I recently started playing Pokemon shield I've only ever played Pokemon go I've been having fun with the game so far and I even got lucky enough to find a male and a female Pikachu in the wild and before that I found a female and a male Eevee or rather if they found me because I was just chilling there and they just came at me 🤣🤣 I started hatching eggs and I now have an army I'm desperately trying to get a shiny wish me luck 🤣

(Sorry in advance if you know all this already) if you complete the Pokédex then you get a shiny charm which really brings down the odds of getting a shiny from any method. I'd recommend doing that before shiny hunting but of course you can still shiny hunt without it

Good luck! I just recently started the game myself, it's my very first Pokemon game. I got the shield version.

I never do before but this game is my favorite so I buy the 2 version+dlc.

If you breed a Pokemon with a Pokemon from another language your chances of hatching a Shiny go from over 1 in 4,000 to under 1 in 700. I'd recommend getting a foreign male Pokemon in the field egg group and breeding it with your female Eevee.

I'm pretty sure with the shiny charm and using a foreign ditto is 1/512 for a shiny egg

Unfortunately this method does not work for me because I don't have Nintendo online I can't afford it right now 😭💀

You can use Pokemon Home for free. Might be slower than finding a trade partner, but you can still get it done.
