Don't get close. Just shoot lasers and let him get screwed over. Unless he moves then your screwed.

Land behind him/grab him first. Everyone blocks against falco, make his sheild useless by grabbing him, he'll have to find another approach.

I want to expect better of you, but I know not to
um, just hit low on the shield, l-cancel your arials and then shine. Shield grab is slower than l-cancel shine, assuming you hit low on their shield. The other advice is also good, and you shouldn't ever get shield-grabbed as Falco for all these reasons.

I think if you run towards him, shorthop, then do a bair on the c-stick, you'll land behind him, not get shield-grabbed, and there's a possibility he'll get hit if he lets his shield down.

Frame data proves Falco can't get shieldgrabbed after an aerial when he uses Shine immediately after, subject to you're doing it correctly. It also depends on when you Dair his shield(starting the animation lower to the ground helps). So if you don't shine the first frame you can after the lag of your Dair, your chances of getting shieldgrabbed will rise.
