Yes, if you open the menu slightly too late that can happen, but if you're fast enough it won't trigger inside the menu. I did it just last week.
Its possible only if there is a queue of notifications preceding it. If there's no other notifications yeah it'll pop up before you have time.
So if it's a huge deal wait a day.
For me I just kept 20 friends to level up for a year and I went from 28 to 40.
I'm actually sort of surprised at how generous Niantic was here with the boosted shiny odds on the GoFest spawns. Is it only for this weekend?
I don't know if this is typical, but I've caught a ridiculous number of shinies since this event started. In the last 24 hours I've caught 4 Magikarp, 4 Horsea, 2 Sableye, 2 Snorunt, a Drifloon, and a Misdreavus. Thankful for this event because I likely never would've caught a shiny Snorunt or Drifloon in my area due to their rarity.
What I really want is a shiny Geodude but I'm not seeing nearly as many of them as the other boosted Pokemon.

The weird thing to me about the boosted shiny rate is like...there are 2 more Go Fests...are they going to be doing the same for the other two but with a different set of pokemon?
Super random, but if anyone is reviewing portals and comes across a submission for Clarkmont Trailhead, please reject it lol
Mistakes were made - the trailhead we intended to submit is actually down the street and we wanted something else for this site.

Awww I hope not, I didn't get a good chance to really go out and take advantage yet.
Typical if all the good stuff happened while Europe slept.
Gotta plan to always be around at event switchovers because Niantic always screws something up
Figures about the shiny rates. Got tricked into thinking it was still boosted across the board because I found a shiny Horsea today, but I guess that's supposed to be.
I'll be sure to take advantage during the next Go Fests.

The Silph Road's running analysis hasn't mentioned a change in overall shiny rate yet. It was last updated five hours ago: https://thesilphroad.com/science/go-fest-weekend-shiny-horsea-rate/
Thank you! I'm transfering Gen 1 to Lets Go, it helps with the storage but not much :p
Now I'm grinding for Meltan candies with the Mystery Box
Edit: if anyone wants to add me I have presents to send: 0910 9013 6893

I'm on this stage myself. I'll add ya, I am always capped on the 10 gifts since lord knows the two friends who keep sending me gifts never open mine lol
Well just had a shiny Sandshrew pop up at my house lol. Maybe the the shiny rates are still good.
Went on a pretty long run and got one shiny Horsea and 2 shiny Cubone. Not bad but was hoping for more.
So what's this about the Legendary Beasts coming back with shinies? I see posts about what they look like and battling them on Silph Road but can't find shit beyond that. Was there dates announced for them or something?
They're gonna get raid days:
Managed to get a second shiny Cresselia (2/35), a second shiny Snorunt (5th overall and all female), and a fourth shiny Geodude (7th overall) today.
I have CD shinies for that. Not to mention my dozen Roselia/Plusle/Minun/Wingull from last year lol.
Think my plan is basically transferring what I can to Home/Sword/Shield.
Good day. Got a second shiny Snubbull so that set's complete. Snubbull's a much better looking shiny than Granbull though. Took me a long time but I found a shiny Horsea in the afternoon... then got 2 more pretty much back to back when I was about to wrap up late in the evening. Some crazy luck I usually don't get. So now I have enough to evolve for the full set, which is perfect because Sea- and Kingdra are great shinies.
Been going out kinda frequently today, have gotten a wild shiny Swablu and a Scyther from a raid. Still no Horsea :(
I have caught two shiny Horsea and a shiny Misdreavus from the same exact spot so far this event. Weird phenomenon.
Trying to set up a Raikou team for when he comes back and this is why I hate the TM system. I have a couple of powered MS/Quake Groudon, but to be dust effective I wanted to fill it out with high cp Rhyperior/Golem but I'm cursed and can't get Earthquake, wasted like 7 charges and have none left. For one Rhy it kept going back and forth between SE and Surf. Bought a second charge move for Golem since it's only 10k and got Rock Blast next to Stone Edge lol. I even evolved an extra Golem and still all rock. I'm filling my team out with my best Rays for now hah.
The Silph Research group has confirmed that the shiny rate for all spawns other than Horsea did return to normal after that first day.
Well I was at Go fest today, they evacuated the park and turned off the event for two and a half hours due to a thunderstorm moving In. The thunderstorm never arrived and the time it was closed was some of the better weather. It was a wet wet day.
From 11-7 I only managed to get three shinies, sandshrew, horsea and magikarp.
Anyone with a ticket today gets a day full of Go fest spawns wherever they are next Saturday from 9am-7pm.

They wouldn't do this if they were planning to do Raikou day during that time... right?
Doesn't even look like Instinct is on track to complete their part to unlock Raikou unless they fake the numbers lol.
There is no doubt that they'll fake the numbers,
"sorry guys you can't burn through $20 in raid passes because you didn't reach a goal"
I knew something felt funky after the first day. Welp at least I got the ones I wanted then, kinda bummed that I couldn't snag that whale in the first day but it's what it is.
So there's still an entire day to get that done? Pretty good chance they're going to make it then.
I'm sure there's a grain of truth to the numbers but I don't know how they expected Instinct to remain viable after they introduced the team change coins. Me and my coworkers never changed teams, but if you don't have a ride or die crew the game design actively pushes players toward one of the more common teams or you're just missing out on bonus balls in raids and chances to defend gyms every day.
And yeah, I don't believe for a second they will just let Raikou day not happen. Instinct will absolutely be shown to pull through at the eleventh hour.

Yeah it's pretty unfair that Instict has to pull the same weight when you know there's not as many Instinct players as M/V
Speaking from experience, as an Instinct player, I delete research tasks daily even if they're easy tasks like Transfer x times or Battle x times, because the reward simply isn't worth it to me. Maybe they should made the gold achievement a higher threshold; 1k research tasks is nothing.
Both those tasks give potentially shiny encounters so I normally finish those. I generally only toss egg hatch tasks, and raid tasks if raiding hours have already ended.
Yeah, exactly. I've already given up hope on this ever happening haha.
I've gotten my only shiny Aerodactyl from an egg!
I have a few tasks ready to complete today for my Instinct team. Pulling my weight to unlock a raid boss that I will not get to fight :(
Tbh I wish they hadn't nerfed the shiny rates past Thursday but it apparently affected the people at Go Fest too so like i dunno how to feel.
Apparently you can get a second free pass for the day right now while they test something at Go Fest.
