===Symbol encounters===
The more Pokémon of a particular species that the player has caught or defeated, the more likely Pokémon of that species are to appear as symbol encounter Brilliant Pokémon. The number of times a player has encountered a particular species of Pokémon is recorded in their Pokédex.
Brilliant Pokémon are more likely to be Shiny, depending on the number of Pokémon of that species that the player has caught or defeated.https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1448334955461939210 If a Brilliant Pokémon is not Shiny, the game will regenerate its personality value up to 6 additional times (depending on the number of times the player has caught or defeated that species) to try and make it Shiny, resulting in the Pokémon being approximately 7 times more likely than normal to be Shiny. This stacks with the Shiny Charm (which provides 2 bonus rolls), allowing for up to 9 bonus rolls (approximately a 1/456 chance) if the player has the Shiny Charm and caught or defeated at least 500 of that species.https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1448335003834851333
