Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are each set to receive a free update on Switch 2 for a smoother frame rate, and it also sounds like the patch will also be huge news for any shiny hunting enthusiasts who like to spend their time looking for rare, sparkly 'mons, as it appears the process should theoretically be faster than ever.
Although Scarlet and Violet were criticized at launch for their shaky performance on the OG Switch, I've personally spent many, many hours in the Paldea region looking for sparkly Pokemon with alternate color palettes. Like in Legends: Arceus and Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee before it, being able to simply see Pokemon in the overworld makes the process substantially faster – even at full 1/4192 odds – than repeatedly running around in the grass for random encounters.
