As a whole, I like the concept of the Ultra Wormhole as it does allow you to get a lot of legendaries and with me owning both games I can get all of the legendaries and get them with the correct natures for current strategies without resetting and hunting through previous generation games plus without shiny lock it is great to be able to catch them in shiny form and it is a nice challenge.
I don't mind that it is hard to know what legendary I will get as it is fun to know that I could stumble onto any of the legendaries associated with the colour of the portal and if you pay attention to the level of each wormhole and the colour you can narrow down the potential Pokémon quite a lot. I don't mind finding the wrong legendary sine it's still a legendary (I guess I can be easily pleased
)
I do however have to agree with the shiny odds for normal Pokémon within the ultra wormholes
Like you I enjoy finding shinies as they are rare, I don't often hunt for shinies but with the amount of breeding I do I come across quite a few now and then and the feeling is great
However when using the Ultra wormholes the odds are just too high to get excited about, at first I thought it was great and I would love to get my hands on more shinies with better odds... but this is rediculous. If you check the GTS for any Pokémon you can get within Ultra wormholes people practically give away the shiny forms for anything they want, for example just look at magcargo.. Black Waterfall hosted a giveaway for the shiny magcargos a while back and I was talking with him on discord when he saw how many there were, he just kept trading his spare Pokémon and managed to build up a collection, even offering a large number of them to the community according to the last update to that thread he still had 12 left!!! It is not even a prized Pokémon at that point, it is just a bargaining tool for trades or another Pokémon to add to the collection and Pokédex..
Edit - Now I am reading that back I apologise for the rant. I kinda got set off when mentioning ultra wormhole shiny odds. I guess I have been waiting for a while too long to vent that
