I've read a few people say that Shiny Charm nor Lures affect the odds of a static pokémon like Mewtwo or the Legendary Birds being Shiny. I was curious how true this is because I'm going through the Let's Go games attempting a Shiny Living Dex & I'd just like to get the static encounters out of the way but I'm not sure if I should be going through the trouble of getting a Shiny Charm in LGE because I have one in LGP, where the majority of the hunting is taking place— & I hadn't been Shiny Hunting when I played through that game, so I missed out on the birds there. The people who told me those things didn't share any sources with me, but just the other day I stated how unsure I was that lures matter during static hunts and someone replied to me that they did, but again, no source.
If anyone can either share a reliable source with or explain to me whether & how Lures / Shiny Charms affect a *Static* pokémon Shiny Hunt, that would be wonderful.

Thanks in advance.

Hi! So I was wondering... Is there a method for reliably hunting the Legendary Birds- possibly starting a catch combo? I didn't think to shiny hunt them until it was too late, though I'm sure restarting the game and SR hunting them would be a lot easier. I was just curious because in my time hunting other pokémon over the past few weeks, I saw each of them at least once. Their rarity isn't my idea of the most fun time, but I haven't even given it a shot.

I'm just curious: Has anyone tried? Is it easier than I'm imagining it is?

EDIT: I'm getting confused because 1 person says catch combos don't work for birds & others; more than 1, are saying it does. Hit me with some sources, guys! I'd love to learn more!

Just a little silly...
