I caught my first shiny ever! It was only a Wurmple sadly, but it's still a cool Pokémon, I evolved it into a Dustox, which is a cool bug/poison Pokémon. Although I have to admit the shiny version is kind of lame/has a vomit color palette going on lol.

I spent maybe three hours in the wilds, one hour after this encounter just straight looking for shinies and they don't seem any easier to find than the normal games, although I'm sure their appearance rate is up somewhat in this game.

Have you encountered a shiny yet? This is literally my first time, been hunting since I was like 9 playing gold and silver when they were first introduced lol never got a shiny until now, so ty!

Wife says she's only found one and it was for a mission in Aceus, a shiny Ponyta. In Pokemon Go she has 155 shinies.

Yeah, they're easy to find in Pokémon go, but some games, like gold and silver when you enter a map, it's like one in 2 million chance of encountering a shiny or something like that. Some people grind for hours (like literally 8+) on stream trying to find one, it's really just luck.

I'm sure the shiny encounter rate is much lower for this game, there's some moments where Pokémon mass spawn so I'm sure that makes it easier. But yeah this is the first shiny I've ever actually seen in a real game lol I was shocked
