76 Research tasks for 9 shinies.
I largely ignored the ‘get 3 hearts’ and ‘get a buddy candy’ tasks - also slowed down once I got the shundo.
I think the rate is supposed to be 1 in 10 shiny - so I got slightly better than average returns

I did Mega Gardevoir Raid just to get the Mega Energy and BAM!…
So I used that self-same Energy on the very-same Poké…

I got 4 shinies from about 40 tasks, using the same strategy of deleting tasks. Of all Luvdiscs only one of the non shinies was over 90 IV, the rest rubbish. But on the way I found 9 other shinies, something very strange for my account. Between them was an interesting one, a shiny Frillish.

I just realized three out of four actually had Research Days in the past, that’s actually kinda funny.
Really we have no idea about the decisions which actually can be found shiny, which will be retired from the pool, which enter next week…
Maybe it’s in hand of one person, and then the memory on short distance will play his power. He/she remember without taken account of these Research Days this Pokémon and put them again…
More shiny conies… and probably more hysterically laughing Niantic employees behind their monitors in their offices…
They don’t usually turn off shiny forms, the only Pokémon that had their shiny forms out but can’t currently be encountered shiny are Unown, Smeargle, Genesect, all Shadow Pokémon besides Magnemite, Male Nidoran and Beldum, and Meltan. However there have been multiple occasions where they accidentally turned off a shiny.
Forgot to post my recent Shinies, so here’s some I caught over the past few days (excluding Shiny Luvdisc):

Main got its third ‘shiny’ TLele. Alt still has none. Virtually the same number of tries and many of the same raids…

My first shiny volbeat is getting kind of stale after sitting in my bag for 4 days:
And a shiny rock has languished in the bag for only 3 days, but is threatening to spoil if not taken out now.

Wow, so yes, there was a shiny boost…
That IS a metric boatload of shinies… I was thinking that just meant there was a Jay boost. 
And @Jormdeworm indicated a few days ago that one of the shinies that had been released but was no longer found shiny is Unown. It’s encouraging to see that it showed up at the event (at the in-person event, anyway)…
Was forced to abandon the Hoenn Tour due to massive technical difficulties, but I was able to get a small amount.
EDIT: New shiny from today:
