If you should have gotten wings, you would have got them. Your spinarak would have needed to have over 400 points since it was shiny, and therefore required a different threshold on the scoring chart. Regular pokemon only require 290 points, but since Shiny Pokemon give you 1.5x the points, you need more points to get the wings.

 

I could bore you with the math, but since Spinarak is a Tier 1 rarity pokemon, it is mathematically impossible to get Volcarona wings with a shiny Spinarak.

 

(50+25+186) x 1.5 = 391.5, and that's assuming your Spinarak was 6x31, which it wasn't.

 

Best way to get Volcarona wings is to catch Tier 4 rarity pokemon (Heracross, Scyther, Pinsir, Mothim, Larvesta) and then hope it has over 135 IVs. Good luck in the future!

that makes sense, i thought it was a little easy haha was talking to someone who told me i had a chance but its good to know thanks for the info! and i guess the extra 100k was enough for me anyway :3
