OMG! Shiny hatch! 3 shinies in 1 day within 1 hour!

… would it be entirely shellfish of me to ask for a brand new shiny? 
The recent (and arbitrary) daily limit on remote raids has made it a lot harder to chase shiny Legendaries. Which is why I was absolutely jazzed to get shiny on both main and alt on my last Uxie raid last evening.

It surprises me that how you all manage to find these much shiny Pokemon even on normal days, whereas, I even fail to get these much on even CD…
Is there some method to obtain these, or does it purely depends on RNG ?
Yes there is a secret method to increase your shiny encounter rate 
I am sworn to silence, but I can reveal it involves wearing a certain sort of hat (in real-life, not on your in-game avatar) and a certain sort of shoes (in-game, not in real-life).
It dramatically increases your chances of a normal everyday shiny from 1 in 512 to 1 in 511.
Oops, I’ve said too much…

Hahaha, well maybe it works…
Another way,more normal, is walking as much as posible, and try every Pokémon you see on the way.

I dunno, they must be attracted to my shiny personality. 
Levity aside, the more mons we encounter, the more shinies we are likely to find. Just simple combinatorics favors a player who drops a Benjamin on Pokécoins at least monthly. And having Poke Genie remote raid server allowed me to raid any time of day or night.
Niantic’s recent curtailment of remote raiding is already reflected in fewer sjhinies. Much like the death of stationary incense put me on a starvation diet, Stardust-wise…

*This would be better if read in the type of voice used by the narrator of a wildlife documentary…
“Here we find a shiny Galarian Stunfisk exhibiting behaviour typical of the species. Determined not to reveal its special colouring it leaps high in the air and then snaps shut to confuse its assailant. Only the fleeting appearance of a sprinkling of stars betrays its status to the eagle-eyed observer…”

So much for my remote-raid-aided theory … yesterday I got a shiny wild capture and a shiny hatch. My new theory is that I’m so dull, the game is desperately trying to impart some shine into me. 
Weak efforts at humor notwithstanding, all of us have different game patterns, and mine includes being quite streaky with the shinies – clumps of shinies punctuating long stretches without shinies. Both tend to tempt me to quit – either “quit while I’m on a roll” or “end the futility despair”…

There was a glut of Uxie raids on Poke Genie tonight, so I dove in twice. My alt got a pair of shinies, for a total of 4. 
My main had a result more typical for raiders: No shinies this time, for a total of 1.

Day 1 Shiny Mr. Krabs from a Field Research during Krabs Fiesta
And the Sugarcane Hands from today’s Spotlight Hour.
Think these were from April still.
Also a Toothpaste Ziggy but I’m too lazy to crop the screen shot.

Very nice, I was looking out for the first two, but nothing where I was walking around.
