Because your chances of Shinys with legendary Pokémon were too poor, there will soon be compensation from Niantic. We will show you what the team from Pokémon GO has to say about it.
What was wrong with the Shiny chances? A few days ago, trainers in Pokémon GO noticed that there were unannounced changes in the game. A Japanese website collected data from some players and found that the Shiny chances in remote raids apparently deteriorated.
This realization quickly spread throughout the community, and trainers were really angry. First, remote raids became more expensive, and now they are also worse? In the meantime, developer Niantic responded with a message to the players.
Apology and compensation from Niantic
This is what Niantic says: On the morning of June 7, Niantic’s support account reached out to players on Twitter. They mentioned technical problems that were responsible for the poor Shiny chances.
Trainers, we have fixed a technical problem that affected the shiny appearance rate of Selfe, Vesprit, and Tobutz in remote raids. We apologize for this and will soon publish details of a special raid event on the Pokémon GO blog.

As an apology for the players who fought these bosses through remote raids, the team has also thought of something. In a follow-up tweet, it says:
“Affected trainers will also receive a remote raid pass for every raid they participated in during that period. Additionally, they will receive an extra [remote raid pass] that will be directly assigned to their Pokémon GO account.”
When exactly the replacement event will take place is still unclear at this time. However, we know from past apology events that they have always occurred quite promptly.
Were you also affected by these raid problems, and did you notice them while raiding, or were you not involved in the new raids at all? Please share your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange thoughts with other trainers.
