Is there a rare chance of a Pokemon being shiny? Are there any announced events for them? Are shiny Pokemon in the expert stages? etc.

Best answer

There are Shiny Pokémon in the game but they are not chance encounters like in the main series titles. They are separate Pokémon with unique skills. Shiny Genesect was added as an Expert Stage, but the rest are typically Special Stages which you can download by checking in, and will occur on a repeating schedule until 2037.

No.
I am very certain there are no shiny Pokemon in shuffle. There haven't been in previous games (Such as Pokemon Link (Yes, a Pokemon game)) and the pokedex (Pokémon List) for these games do not seem to have the data to store shiny Pokemon.

So you're basing your answer on past games?
I actually believe it does. I may be wrong, but there is a glowing yellow torchic on my map screen. Although I am not a "Pro" at the game yet, I think it does.
It's just an odd coloration for that shade of orange. Vulpix looks the same.
but for my torchic it is a diff color then it says on its identification in pokemon shuffle
Yes, certain events can allow you to catch shiny pokemon, but that is the only way to get them as far as I know. Currently there is an event going on that can let you catch a shiny Magikarp and Gyrados. Hope this helps!
