B2W2's Shining Charm

[Drayano]

Bit different to the stuff I'd normally ask, but in terms of the Shining Charm's change to the chance of encountering a shiny Pokémon, does this activate simply by having the item in the player's inventory (e.g. if you were to just put it in your game with PokéGen, it would still reduce the rarity) or do you specifically need to get it legitimately to get the shiny bonus (e.g. something else in the receiving script activates the lowered odds)?

Was just wondering because I want to know if there's any use in having a different NPC give you the Shining Charm. It's a bit difficult to test if it actually works.

pretty sure it worked for breeding after adding it in.

e:

i'm not just saying "oh, yeah, i added it in and had better chances" i'm saying i saw the game check for its existence in a debugger while creating an egg after i added it in. so you should be good.
