What is the best shiny hunting method in Scarlet/Violet?
I have been playing Pokémon violet for more than twice as long as my friend Hunter, yet he has found 3 shiny Pokémon compared to my zero. Does anyone know any good ways to get shiny Pokémon? (I won’t take breeding as an answer)

Breeding is a pretty good way to get a shiny, but, if you don’t want to breed, there are other options.
SANDWICH HUNTING
UsingHerba Mystica(obtained from 6-star Tera Raids) in combination with other sandwich ingredients can make a sandwich with these effects:
Sparkling Power (Type of your choice): Lv. 3Title Power (Type of your choice): Lv. 3Encounter Power (Type of your choice): Lv. 3
To use this method, find a place where your desired Pokemon spawns and is about the only Pokemon of that type around. Then, make your sandwich and you should be seeing loads of that Pokemon and (hopefully ^^) a shiny.
This chartis a guide on how to get the sandwich right for your type of choice.
This is the main way to hunt shinies in S/V, and, if you dont want to breed, this is likely the best way for you.
For an added bonus, if there is an outbreak of your desired Pokemon, K.O’ing 60 of them increases your shiny odds (Credit to CharlotteMillton in the comments).
Hope I helped!
