Shiny odds for research quest encounters?
Does anybody know if the shiny odds are better for research quest encounters? I want to complete the research quests but there's no point in wasting my resources if the shiny odds are the same as wild encounters.
Thanks,

Shiny odds for most species is exactly the same from research or wild. Magikarp, starters, Eevee, Larvitar etc. I've done a ton of research and gotten 1 Bulbasaur out of these "normal" shinies.
Event quests may have heightened chances of shinies, so far this has applied to Aerodactyl and possibly Pineco. Those odds were 1/60 for Aerodactyl like Skywalkered said, no data yet if Pineco has the same odds.
Squirtle CD research was special, as randomly decided stops would give a shiny sunglass Squirtle for everyone.
