Are shiny Pokemon harder to catch than non-shiny Pokemon?

Question

Yeah....

Answer 1

As of Generation 9, shiny Pokémon have the same catch rate as normal Pokémon in every game except in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

In Legends: Z-A, shiny Pokémon have their base catch rate tripled, making them significantly easier to catch. Since this effect is compounded by the fact that every attempted catch calls RNG three times, a Pokémon's overall catch rate in practice is greater than 3× what it would normally be. For instance, catching a Pikachu with a Poke Ball normally has a 17.77% chance of success, but this jumps up to 91.28% if it is shiny. This calculator can be used to estimate catch rates in this game.

Answer 2

No, Shiny Pokemon and regular Pokemon both have the same catching rate. The catching rate depends on the Pokemon and the catch rate of the Pokeball. I hope this helps.

Answer 3

There has been alot of speculation about shinies (have better stats, are harder to raise, ect) but all a shiny is is a pokemon with different colours then the rest. Just like lobsters (1/1million= blue, 1/2million=yellow, 1/3million=White). So no, a shiny shuckle is just as easy to catch as a normal shuckle.

Hope it helps :)

Correction "a shiny shuckle is just as EASY to catch as a normal shuckle." He has a pretty high catch rate 190 even easier than pidgeotto.

It's the same thing speed freak...he's indicating that they have the same difficulty. Small wording like that won't influence much.
