It feels like the shiny rate should be 10-15% at least, and if it really is 1 in 60+, that's just absurd. The Research Tasks Take Too Long10 Great Throws, 15 Nice Throws, Hatch an Egg. These research tasks took far longer than I was imagining and even if you can stack them, there's not a guarantee that you can stack them well, ie.
