As mentioned, to be able to increase your chances of encountering Shiny Ground-type pocket monsters by consuming a Shiny Ground Sandwich in Pokemon GO.

To make the sandwich, you will be required to:

Get your hands on Hame x1 and Salty Herba Mystica X1. These are the only two ingredients that you will need to make the sandwich in the game. However, both these resources are not that easy to come across in games.
Herba Mystica is one of the hardest cooking ingredients to come across in Scarlet and Violet. As to obtain it, you will be required to complete some of the hardest encounters in the game. You will only be able to obtain it as a drop after you have completed 5-6 star Raids in Paldea. Raids with lower difficulty will not net you the resource, and you will not be able to make the sandwich.
For the Ham, you will be able to purchase it by making your way to the Artisan Bakery stalls that are located all throughout Paldea. It will cost you 170 Poke dollars and is not exactly an expensive resource to come by.
Once you have th ingredients, you will then be required to cook the Shiny Ground Sandwich by conducting a picnic. Here you will be able to use the ingredients to make as well as consume the sandwich.
As the meal power will only last for 30-minutes, it’s best that you only consume the item if you are in an area that has a very high spawn rate of Ground-type Pokemon.
