Soft reset Shiny hunts must be wild from the ingame character’s perspective if you do them at every opportunity. For them, each Pokémon seen before the Shiny is the first one. Leaf just walks out of Pallet Town with her Shiny Charmander, gets a Shiny Eevee just lying around, is gifted a Shiny Lapras, finds a Shiny Snorlax and Hypno, AND 4 Shiny Legendaries. Luckiest kid alive.
