Super rare! I've been playing since launch and I've only caught a handful. Community Days are your best bet for shiny finds.
Honestly, it feels like finding a unicorn sometimes. Keep trying though, 'cause the thrill of finding one is worth it!
I've caught plenty of shinies during special events. So, it's all about timing and participating in those events!
Ehh, not *that* rare. You just need to play during events or Community Days for a much better chance.
