"Shiny Trapinch was probably disabled around 10/16 during the release of new Shadow Pokémon"

#PokemonGO: Aggregating some data available across the internet suggests that shiny Trapinch has been removed from the game. It's not the most common spawn, and probably no one cares, but there were several reports on 10/15 for Shiny Trapinch and nothing since with many, many aggregated encounters (10000+)My guess is it would have been nuked around when they added the new Shadow Pokémon (and triggered the great Seedot Nearby Calamity of 2019). The other species added that day don't seem to be impacted. Probably when they updated the trapinch from 0328_TRAPINCH to 0328_TRAPINCH_NORMAL (or however they're formatted) they didn't update the corresponding enum in the config file that determines shiny rates/availability, and no one noticed or reviewed the config change.Any reports to the contrary? via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/2p4KZ6D
