Figured since somehow getting Moltres and Zapdos thru GTS by trading typical Nincada's. What Legendary Pokemon absolutely have to be in the Pokedex as caught to receive Shiny Charm?

I got the Shiny charm after I got 718 Pokemon (A completed Dex) Not sure if certain Pokemon are required or a certain amount. Might have to complete the X/Y dex. That is only 68 Pokemon but that is not easy as it sounds though.:)

Might as well just do the whole dex. It is better to do the whole dex than exclude because you might miss one and you will not know which one. As I said just do it all XD.:)

All non-event exclusive Legendary...which are those that AlexandertheAwesome already listed.

Phione is actually needed for the National Dex.

Phione's definitely not needed, at least in my experience. (I got the Shiny Charm without a Phione.) A minimum of 705 Pokemon are needed for the Shiny Charm if you have no event Pokes at all, but most folks will probably have the Pokebank Celebi, so remember to take that into account when calculating how many you've got left. Good luck!

Huh... I'll check that out in Y (when I get my live dex back). I've seen some say it's needed and some say it's not qq

No it is not needed. You only need everything minus those 12 Pokemon. If you want to be sure just get all 718 Pokemon XD.:)
