Well once you have it it just automatically ups your chances, so you just do the Masuda Method once you have it and it just ups your chances of finding a shiny

[Haunted]

So you don't have to give it to a pokemon to hold?

[EllaJaneBinks]

No it is like a key item.

[EllaJaneBinks]

If you had to equip it to a pokemon it would be as simple as putting it on the first one in your party or giving it to whichever pokemon you are trying to breed into a shiny.

[karrmakazzi]

does anyone have a shiny charm there willing to trade for

[EllaJaneBinks]

I don't think it can be traded karrmakazzi... It's a key item so can't be assigned to a Pokemon, unless hacked you can't trade it..
