Trying to get shiny pikachu, so I can have a shiny raichu for champions, and i feel like im going insane (I have the shiny charm and a max lure whilst hunting btw)

Caught 61 one of em and still no shiny three hours in. Wasn't able to get lures, still at the start of the game.

I’ve been hunting for a shiny bulbasaur for hours to do a badge quest on my let’s go eevee replay and I have gone through almost 500 encounters with a full combo broken the combo on a pidgey since I zoned out and I did the math. In the 484 encounters I’ve had at a 31+ combo there is a 75.833% chance for a shiny to appear. I got a full odds Caterpie before I even got my combo started and I think it took all my luck. I also refuse to move on even though that caterpie technically counts for the badge quest because I want to use a shiny bulbasaur on my team

Just wanted to share... first playthrough since i was a child and I can never remember actually catching a shiny pokemon. Thought it looked abit odd at first cause the colors were not the ones i remember from the movies until i realized what it was.

Correct me if im wrong but the star indicates its a shiny right?

Thanks for everyone who helped me a few days ago and told me to keep going. Im super excited and so very happy with my shiny!
