TS Shiny Odds are roughly 1 in 80* on average.
* It's random, meaning you could get a shiny on your first try, or it could take hundreds of tries if you're unlucky. Probability ≠ Guarantee. Shiny hunting in the Token Store is NOT recommended whatsoever and has a horrible ROI. You'll be much better off selling tokens to other players for Pd and buying what you want directly.

This is two suggestions in one: firstly,
1. Token store shiny odds should be made publicly known and prominently displayed. They MUST be, to not do so is highly shady and unethical. By and large this is real money people are spending on TS pokes, and it's likely to be young people buying them... who have little understanding of probability...
2. The daily deal should stack with the membership discount. Right now there's no deal for people who have a membership.
Expensive pokes:
10500 regular price
8714 with membership (17% off)
6877 with ms and daily deal (17+17.5% off)
Normal pokes:
7500 regular price
6225 with membership (17% off)
4912 with ms and daily deal (34.5% off)
Token store pokemon are wildly overpriced for what you are statistically likely to get, IVs-wise. Especially after converting to Canadian dollars. These prices would still be overpriced IMO, but a bit more enticing for players and a good compromise since you want everything to be expensive.
My original suggestion (on Discord) was 30% off membership prices but was denied.
To say again, Token store shiny odds should be made publicly known and prominently displayed.
