This is a very quick tutorial detailing how you can shiny hunt the unique, fully evolved Pokemon you see in the overworld in the Wild Area of Pokemon Sword and Shield. This is also useful for trying to find Pokemon with certain natures and IVs.
I haven't really personally seen a guide for this sort of thing on YouTube yet and I know that I was certainly confused when first attempting this. I saw Waddy shiny hunting Copperajah and he definitely helped me piece this together. I made this video so there was a place where everyone whose unsure can gather and find the information if need be. I hope you all enjoy using this method to find a bunch of shiny Pokemon!

WRITTEN TUTORIAL:
STEP 1: Make sure you have all 8 gym badges. This is so that all the overworld Pokemon are no longer "very strong-looking," and therefore, not shiny locked.
STEP 2: Find your target in the Wild Area. Perhaps figure out where it is, leave the wild area, then come back and make sure you don't trigger it to spawn yet. It's stats are fixed once it spawns, and so if you save your game after you've already spawned it, the exact same Pokemon will be there every time you reset. Multiple Pokemon different Pokemon can occupy a single spawn zone, so if you're in the right place, but seeing a different Pokemon: save outside of the spawn zone, change the date/ time on your Switch, close the game and then relaunch it. Continue this until you find your desired target.
STEP 3 (optional): Verify you are spawning different Pokemon every reset by test capturing it for a few resets, making sure the stats change each time you capture it. If you are then you're good to go!
STEP 4: Make sure you're outside the spawn zone and that your Pokemon hasn't been spawned yet. Save your game and then enter the zone, spawn your Pokemon and encounter it. If it is not shiny, close your game by returning to the home menu. Launch your game and re-encounter your target. Rinse and repeat until you find your shiny!
Goodluck on all your hunts and have fun shiny hunting!!
