Shinies available beyond events?
I think someone else asked this question, but i can’t find it...are shinies that are released as part of events (like Grimer for Kanto event, or any of the Community Day shinies) still available after the event ends? The only two I’ve found not linked to events are Magikarp and Swablu.

The last non-community day event I caught a shiny...September 6th, a bulbasaur. Did get several shiny wingulls, but most other extended events I whiff. None this Halloween, nor last Halloween. Got a non-event Makuhita August 10th and an Aron July 24th. Then for the mini-event got two Plusle and one Roselia. Not very many, I click on most shiny eligible species I see...especially Murkrows, zip though.
If you need more anecdotal evidence, I've caught the following event-related shinies outside of their events:
1 Minun
1 Eevee
2 Bulbasaur (1 from research)
3 Aron (2 before the event)
5 Magikarp
2 Roselia
3 Wailmer
Shinies are simply rare in the wild, the more pokemon you catch, the more chances you have of seeing a shiny.
