I remember reading that Area Zero has half as many spawners as the rest of the overworld combined. I found two shinies there just while beating the story mode. It's more likely that spawns are just much more common there, and thus shinies are as well.I am 100% convinced that Area 0 has bugged shiny rates that make it way higher than other areas in the game. I've gotten nearly a dozen of shinies in the location during the past few days without using a shiny sandwich or anything (just the shiny charm).
But hey, maybe it does have an intrinsically higher shiny spawn rate! I don't actually know.
