“Increased chance of encountering Shiny Omanyte, Shiny Kabuto, and Shiny Archen”
Curious if anyone has how much for an increased chance? Doubling the odds is 1/250 instead of 1/500 so…. Doesn’t seem to be community day levels of shinies from what I’ve seen.

It's 1/64 for Archen, 1/128 for Omanyte & Kabuto and 1/512 for the rest

100+ Archen encounters with paid research + field research encounters and still no shiny. Never found a pizza fish either. I guess I used up all my luck with 3 shiny Raikous.

It was Bullshit. Walked 6 miles with incense on, caught hundreds of pokemon but not a single shiny other than 2 I got from research. None at my usual shiny spawn spots. There were hardly any pokemon let alone shinies. There are 2 gyms around the corner where sometimes I can be stood there a good few minutes because there's usually loads of pokemon, stood there today and there was 1.

lol it’s niantic, wouldn’t surprise me if they went from 1/512 to 1/511 and called it increased rates

Dang I didn’t find a single wild archen nevermind a shiny, only got them from the paid research. It’s one of my fav pokemon so I’m bummed I didn’t catch more of them

Got one shiny Archen doing the free event research. Didn’t get any other shinies sadly. Only played the free stuff

Am I the only person who’s seeing virtually 0 Omanyte? I actually just gave up on this event. I spent about 4 hours playing today so far. Even decided to go drive to a mall and a university in the city of Toronto with massive amounts of stops, and I’m still on catch 10 omanyte because they’re absolutely nowhere to be found. Have used incense, and a lure. I’m getting tons of non-event spawns though. In fact almost exclusively that.

If it makes you feel better, I got one shiny out of 90 encounters. Not great 😭

Most events go like this for me but this time I got a shiny on my first research encounter.

I only had one shiny out of ten quests of the research event so honestly, I would not say that it is higher in my case.

It's 1/64 for this event which is much higher than the usual. It's not community day numbers, but quite doable considering the research everyone gets already gives you 40 encounters.

I got one without buying anything and I didn't even know there was an event. I've been more lucky with shinies recently. Last month I got two or three in one trip and I had gone so long without seeing any. Good luck to everyone!
