Neat, Teensy Power and Humungo Power greatly increase a Pokémon's chance to qualify for Mini Mark and Jumbo Mark!
Here's a table with all the details in fine print underneath.

A lot of people are still asking questions for how I'm hunting wild shiny Authentic Sinistea in Old Cemetery with the last KO method, so I made this shareable graphic to explain how it works. Hopefully it's more understandable!

Here are the rates of Picnic egg generation in Scarlet/Violet.
The rates improve significantly with any Egg Power, and are slightly decreased due to checks for hidden items in the basket (even if none are on the field).
Read on for more details into this process and the math.

SV made 6-star raids harder by upping the level to 90 (even though you catch at 75) and giving them a 25x HP multiplier.
On top of that, 6-star raids have either 128 SpD EVs or both 128 SpD/128 Def EVs when battled. (SpD = Special Defense)
The EVs are not present on capture. twitter.com/AustinJohnPlay…

The Tera Raid events have custom Tera Shield strengths. You might have noticed that Pikachu takes essentially no damage from non-Terastallized moves.
Instead of the stock 20%, 35% (Tera + nonmatching type), and 75% (Tera + matching type), Pikachu uses 1%, 70%, and 120%. twitter.com/moxxyrav/statu…

Hope you all enjoyed the last few days of predictable Battle Stadium RNG :P
Pokémon Scarlet/Violet version 1.1.0 fixes the problem with the static RNG seed in both Casual and Ranked Battles (Singles & Doubles formats).
The battle RNG is now properly random for all PvP formats!

Why doesn't Antique Sinistea appear with Encounter Power Lv. 3 in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet?
This is due to an off-by-one bug in the encounter slot determination, which decides the species of Pokémon that spawns!
This bug is active as of version 1.2.0.

It seems that somewhere between BDSP v 1.0.0 and 1.1.2, Poké Radar chain breaking was rewritten and is apparently worse.
Now, you only get a 10% bonus if you go after the farthest tiles (4 away) and capture the Pokémon.
It doesn't change the optimal hunting method at least.

Interesting note for ribbon/mark collectors... this Mighty Pikachu is set to have really high scale, ranging from 240-255.
That means 1/16 of them qualify for the Jumbo Mark! twitter.com/SerebiiNet/sta…

Some days, you just can't win. #PokemonSwordShield #NintendoSwitch

Tables of shiny rates for all the SWSH encounter types I could think of outside of eggs, which are well-documented already.
Remember that Brilliant rate maxes out at 100 KOs. You can decide if you want to KO more to max out shiny rate.

Beware! There's a bug in ALL Gen 8 Pokémon games involving maliciously-crafted Pokémon. It's possible to receive these Pokémon through trades in various games or HOME.
The games fail to correctly render invalid markings; BDSP glitches and forces a reboot, SWSH/Legends crash.
63
Title Power grants additional attempts to roll for a Mark on wild Pokémon in Scarlet/Violet, up to a max of 4.
I've calculated the chance for the wild Marks thanks to data from @lincolnlm_.
Rates depend on whether weather is active and whether it is your birthday in-game!
my pokemon are cute ♥
