Once a Shiny has been released in the world of Pokémon GO, any encounter with this Pokémon could show the shiny variant. Unless, Niantic makes a mistake. These Shinies couldn’t be found by trainers for weeks.
How rare are Shinies in field research? Shiny forms are significantly rarer than the “normal” forms of Pokémon. It is estimated that the chance of a Shiny is about 1:60. They differ only visually from the normal form. This makes them particularly appealing to collectors.
Why is there a good chance of Shinies now? The field research in March in Pokémon GO rewards you with many Pokémon encounters. A large part of it can be shiny. There is no guarantee of encountering a Shiny through field research. But you have the chance to encounter the corresponding Pokémon in its shiny form if you complete the listed research tasks.
