Overview
- Reaching Research Level 50 in Mable’s Research grants the Shiny Charm, with an effectively mandatory objective to win 1,000 trainer battles while wild encounters do not count.
- Many players say they only discover the full target late because an initial 500‑win checkpoint expands to 1,000, which has driven widespread frustration.
- VGC outlines a Z‑A Royale method using a high‑level Lucario with Extreme Speed to rack up dozens of trainer wins per cycle, cutting the grind to about one to two hours.
- Other community shortcuts include repeatable low‑level restaurant bouts and fully automated AFK setups using turbo controllers and simple rigs.
- No developer response or adjustment has been reported, though the prize remains highly coveted for its substantial boost to shiny encounter odds.
