Why I Don’t Get Shiny Pokémon Go?
You don’t get Shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Go because the chance of encountering one is extremely low, with a base rate of 1:450 or 1:500 for wild Pokémon, and the encounter is determined by a random number generator, making it largely unpredictable. The shininess of a Pokémon is determined when it is generated, and it can be influenced by various factors, including the use of Shiny Charm, incense, and lure modules, but it ultimately comes down to luck.

To understand why you may not be getting Shiny Pokémon, it’s essential to know how they work and the various factors that influence their appearance.
