Have any of you ever seen a shiny magikarp from a raid? I heard on another post that it might be higher chance to get a shiny magikarp from a raid and if so that gives magikarp raids a bit more of a purpose. Anyone know a conclusive answer to this? ---

I know someone whose word I trust has got one from a Raid. I’ve herd the same thing that the odds are better from a raid but but nothing conclusive also. From what I can work out going back through the web. Shiny Magikarp was released into the game March 24th 2017. I started a log counting every single Magikarp I clicked on attempting to catch April 25th 2017. It was 143 days and 564 Magikarp to get my 1st Shiny It was 9 days and 77 Magikarp after #1 to get #2 I’m now 10 days and 285 Magikarp since #2 looking for #3. I do every Single Magikarp Raid I come across time permitting. So far its 37 Raids in Total none Shiny. ---
