Do Max Raid Battles influence the chance of the wild Pokemon being shiny?

So I finally got Sword and was playing through the game with my girlfriend. While waiting for her to catch up with me in the story early this morning, I found a Max Raid for a Lampent. I decided I wanted that Pokemon, and joined in on the stamp when it showed on the Internet.

Lo and #$%&ing behold, the Lampent was shiny. (I jumped out of my chair.)

So many things have changed in Gen 8 that I don’t know if I can believe that it’s dumb luck. I know they made it really easy to find shinies in Ultra Wormholes in Gen 7. Is this big hype that I joined by chance or was it boosted a lot? If so, what changed (or could have) to make it easier to find one? I have been unable to find such information, although I’ll say I didn’t do atonof digging.

Possible useful information: My allies had shiny, fully evolved, Galar S-tier Pokemon with them. Can you hack Max Raids into being shiny?

Joining random online raids that turn out to be shiny isn’t all that rare, but not because of enhanced odds; as far as I know, raids have full/charm odds, and I don’t believe they’re even influenced by how many times you’ve fought that particular species (although I could be wrong, since I’m not aware of any in-depth breakdown of raid den odds).However, there are ways to RNG abuse or even straight-up hack a Pokémon into a den, which people then host online and saturate the Y-Comm with them. I’ve only run into a couple from personal experience, but I’ve heard of people regularly running into several in a day.
