1. We know the Shiny Charm does have an effect. There has been extensive testing on the subject and it appears to be in the region of 1 in 500 or so. We're not sure why the English text for the item lists wild Pokémon only. The Japanese and other languages have it the same as in Black 2 & White 2 2. Since we can't extract from the game, we don't have that particular value. The way the "hackers" got the original change in shiny rate was due to intercepting of trade data, not through hacking the game itself.
