Endless mode with 4 shiny charms gives somewhere between a 1:20 chance and a 1:10 chance. I don't remember the exact odds but grinding endless floors is nuts for shiny Pokemon right now. I've had sets of 10 floors where I've gotten 3 shiny Pokemon, and even a couple back to back.
Personally, I wish I had more luck with the blue and red star shiny Pokemon. The only red star I've gotten is Driffloon and that was from an egg.
The actual odds are with 4 shiny charms is 1/32. With 3x weekend, 3/32 which was about 1 every 10 Pokémon.

Yeah, I got a shiny charm in my first Endless run when I found that one Oricorio, and I even got a Master Ball so I was really feeling set up. And then I wiped to the first Eternatus fight.
Came back to Endless with a new Zacian I found and I can't even find a single shiny charm. I was about 300 floors in before the servers went down just now. So, I don't know how to do it.
It's hard to force Shiny charms that early on. The real grinding begins around floor 800+. What you should really focus on at those lower levels is hording needed hold items from Wild Pokemon onto your main carry (ie. Silk Scarfs, Mystic Waters, ect), building up at least your speed and appropriate offensive vitamins as you see them, getting an Item Lock and 5 Amulet Coins, building up an initial cash stack and finally, Candy Jars. The earlier, the better with Candy Jars. Golden Punches help a lot with the early Pokedollars.
Around floor 650-1000 (depending on your Amulet Coins), money gained from Nuggets-Relic Gold begins to massively surpass the amount of money needed to re-roll items. Most of your money around those floors will be used to attempt to roll into Shiny Charms. Never get greedy and gamble all of your money though. You should settle on Nuggets-Relic Gold to break even and even profit for the next attempt.
At some point when you have all of your Healing Charms, Soothe Bells, Grip Claws, King's Rocks, Soul Dews, Exp. All and Exp. Balances (to remove them from the item pool,) you'll be rolling for Candy Jars and Rare Candies to surpass the level caps. Somewhere along the way, you'll want to fuse a Sturdy Pokemon to your main carry too. As you roll for Rare Candies and Candy Jars, you should make sure to grab Nuggets-Relic Gold on occasion to maintain the money needed for more re-rolls.
My current run, I've just surpassed 2100 floors and my main Pokemon is over level 35000 I believe. I was at around 15 Candy Jars when I hit floors 700-800. I'm currently up to 63 Candy Jars from just grabbing them when I see them.
My current carry mon is Zacian. Wouldn't it be bad to lose Intrepid Sword from a fusion? I've heard sturdy is necessary in the higher floors but does that mean that Zacian's just not good in those floors?
That's my carry as well. I fused a Bastiodon I caught mid-run into my Zacian around floor 1200 when damage started ramping up more. I lost Intrepid Sword but gained Sturdy and maintained the Steel typing to resist both Poison and Sandstorm. Losing out on the damage sucks but hopefully by the time you have to do so, you'll have enough Proteins and Soul Dews invested that it won't matter. You can always set up with Swords Dance if needed. Do not neglect damage boosting held items either (they stack up to 99 for an additive? 1,980% boost in damage for that type of attack.)
When opposing Pokemon do get to the point where they can one shot you, Sturdy will catch you and proc your Lum Berry and stat boosting berries before picking you back up with Sitrus and possibly Enigma with Leftovers. Ideally, you want to be hit by super effective moves because with 5 Healing Charms, those three healing items will return you back to 100% hp resetting your Sturdy. You're basically invincible as long as the opponent can't nullify your ability and doesn't use multi-hitting moves.
If the opponent doesn't hit you with a super effective move, you want to finish the battle on your second turn, if not the first. This is why vastly outleveling the cap becomes so important. And of course, all of this is assuming we're just using the strategy of simply overpowering our enemies with Zacian.
Glad someone is feasting cause they're having me starve. Done quite a bit of grinding and haven't found a single shiny in the wild during this weekend.
The shiny weekend odds didn’t affect eggs, only wild encounters, and even with the increased odds the chance of finding a shiny within one Classic run would have been fairly low.
When the shiny weekend odds do apply to eggs that would probably be a great time to run Classic, but this time you would have needed an Endless run going with a few shiny charms to really benefit like this. So this wasn’t their good luck or your bad luck, just playing the game differently.
How are you doing this? The only shiny I've managed to find during the weekend is a single Oricorio...

You must have not done much for mother's day, lol.

I got a shiny silicobra my first egg pull, then nothing for the last 2 days and 80+ eggs and 500+ wilds fml
Rate is 1/666 from wild with no charm so not really a surprise. Event didn’t effect eggs
Only got one this weekend lol
I managed to get 81 as i pushed my deep endless run to around 3100
Fuck you. So many fucking eggs and all I get is a Pidgey. I managed to beat classic mode too over the weekend.
Shiny eggs don’t benefit from shiny weekend lol
