The last shiny I got was a Shiny Nidoqueen from the Nidoran Limited Research Event a month or so ago, as I forgot to participate in the December and January community days.
I have had to abandon my Go account (I do not own a mobile phone, only a media player, which starting half a year ago crashes the moment I log in). I borrowed a friend's phone once a week to transfer my valuable Pokémon to Home, and the last time I did so happened to coincide with the latest event, so I was fortunate enough to grab a Shiny Machop 'for the road'.
I stopped playing Go because it doesn't play well on my phone, but I did get a shiny Pinsir which I transferred into Let's Go and a shiny Makuhita that is still there on my account. Can't remember which one was the more recent, though.
I started a new account since I haven't played it since 2016. I found a shiny Weedle and Torchic already! Is the shiny rate much better than the main games? I swear my luck has never been that great.
