I'd much likely prefer server time based cooldowns. At least regarding digging spots. It would make it way easier to keep the track and be more efficient. Players who can't log in at a special day might not be able to farm digging spots efficiently. They would lose a day, because they simply weren't able to play due to whatever reason it might be. Therefore the 3 days-cycle is going to be broken and you need to wait 2 more days to be in your regular schedule or change it. Making digging spots server based would max out the efficiency of farming and giving the player 3 possible days to do it. Personally i would feel way less forced to login on exactly that one day "just" to do lame farming. There are days where you just don't like or are able to play. On the other hand, bosses should stay expire time based or eventually get their cooldown cut by half in case you lose, but that's just a very comfort change and i don't think that it's necessary, though it's still worth mentioning since it would not give any advantage to some players.

Encountering a shiny pokemon is something one can not predict and still having a big impact on the encountering player. It most likely feels like a reward for playing the game and putting effort into it. Therefore it's way more than just a little bit frustrating when the shiny pokemon uses explosion in the first turn and you have no chance to catch it immediately. Of course there would have been ways to avoid it like immediately putting it to sleep or switching into a pokemon with the "Damp"-Ability, but these options are mostly likely not executable since there is no eta for a shiny pokemon to appear. NO ONE ALWAYS has a poke with an instant-sleep-inducting move at the leader of his party, or a pokemon with damp in his party in general. Since it is so extremely rare to be able to catch a shiny it should be possible to really do it. Even if it's only a shiny Rattata. It's shiny after all. As soon as you get this prize denied without any possible way to prevent it you loose interest in keep playing. So if it is possible just please do this. Let shinies be rare, let them be annoyingly weak, but let us be able to catch them.
