>using game exclusive boosting methodsLet's Go Pikachu/Eevee, you can get the shiny charm easy as fuck (only 150 mons in the dex after all), then get a chain combo of 30 with any random mon and then drop a lure and just enter/exit an area that has the spawn you want until you see a shiny. At that point, shiny odds are about 1/270, and since you can sees shinies in the overworld, you can grind infinitely faster than having to individually check every encounter.
